It’s clearly unsustainable for a humanitarian organisation like the NHS to have any commercial links whatsoever with Putin’s murderous regime. The small minority of trusts who retain links with Gazprom need to rethink this as a matter of urgency. — PolitiTweet.org

@CarersSurrey supports thousands of the 115,000 unpaid carers in Surrey + 2,262 in Waverley, without whom our NHS & care services would literally fall over. Good to meet CEO Jamie Gault to hear about ways we could strengthen the Health & Care Bill to recognise & help carers more. https://t.co/B5ltrxjm2y — PolitiTweet.org

Foreign Secretary confirms we are now looking at secondary sanctions e.g sanctions against any company that trades with Russia wherever they are from. Big and important step forward https://t.co/MYFw8yflma — PolitiTweet.org

Such an enjoyable and informative visit to Oxenford Farm last Friday to discuss very worrying river pollution concerns, which I will be following up with Rt Hon George Eustice MP, the Environment Agency and Thames Water. #saveourgreenspaces #stopriverpollution🌊 https://t.co/g6thO0O5Cc — PolitiTweet.org

If Germany can manage more than 2% of GDP, time to ask whether all Europeans should be matching the US 3.7% of GDP on defence. Now cannot be the right moment for the UK to cut troops, tanks and planes... — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Britain has a special responsibility to defend an international order we helped to build but sanctions alone will not be enough - we need to review our military capabilities: my question to @borisjohnson https://t.co/VgDu6QM1l8 — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

But even on a grim day like today we should not lose hope. Authoritarian leaders always underestimate the resolve of democracies. We can be slow to get going but an alliance of countries with a shared belief in freedom will always have an unshakeable resolve. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Finally we cannot look at Russia and China separately. Both are deeply committed to upending the US/UK designed post-45 order. China will look at what happens in Ukraine carefully to gauge what the Western response would be to an invasion of Taiwan. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

If there is to be a global alliance of democracies to defend the rule of law, European countries need to show their willingness to step up in our own back yard. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Thirdly and more challengingly Europe surely now needs to match the 3.5% of GDP that the US spends on defence. The UK’s integrated review was a step in the right direction but is now out of date. Surely the UK cannot be cutting the army at a time like this? — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

But that does not mean we cannot offer military support to the Ukrainians to make this invasion as difficult as possible. Ukraine needs to be a millstone round Putin’s neck not a triumphant step towards the restoration of the USSR. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

Secondly an effective military response is crucial. Direct combat between NATO and Russian troops is very risky and would be the first time there has been a military conflict between two UN security council nuclear powers. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeremy Hunt @Jeremy_Hunt

That means stopping buying $330m of gas every day from Russia (as the West did even without Nordstream 2) and shutting out Russian money from London. But given that Russia has $600 bn of reserves it will take many years to achieve. We need to be in this for the long term. — PolitiTweet.org
