I would like to thank Barbara Houghton and the organisers of the lunch club, and the many members who attended. I spoke about the economic recovery, migration, the UK’s relationship with the EU and the Middle East and Ukrainian civil wars. As always I spoke without a text or notes, so those interested in what I said should read my recent blogs on these subjects on the main site which reflect the opinions I set out. A good range of questions mainly responded to the topics I raised, with additional interest in the Scottish referendum.
