NAOMI: "It's not so much that the world has changed as that the world has finally realized how much the world had already changed. For those for whom the penny hadn't already dropped, it's dropped now. And my overriding feeling is just this renewed anger about the decision to leave the EU."

ALEX: "Deliberation is not evidence of equivocation. Speed does not always result in constancy. Declamation does not equal leadership. Calmness is not a form of appeasement."

NAOMI: "I’m very encouraged by the UK demonstrating more leadership on this issue, putting its money where its mouth is, and I hope it will inspire other European leaders to do likewise, especially those not yet even meeting the NATO threshold of spending 2% of GDP on defence. Looking at you Meloni…"

ALEX: "The only thing that matters now, is for the political will to exist, to disentangle our continent from a now unreliable and dangerous partner, and for the time to be gained to do that safely. We will bite the inside of our cheek and smile and say 'yes dear', while preparing our escape."
