Morning Fringe

I'm currently attending the "Europe in the World: Actions to match Ambitions" meeting organised by the European Parliamentary Labour Party and Brussels Labour. There are a number of breakfast fringes going on around the city. Food for the body is served, then food for the mind. Speakers at this fringe will be Lord Kinnock, former Labour leader and European Commissioner; Richard Howitt MEP and Shadow International development secretary, Douglas Alexander.
