By David Colrtart In London|I am in London with my good friends Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti. Our day starts with meetings with Dianne Abbott, Shadow Home Affairs Minister and then Emily Thornberry, Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister. Then it is on to Chatham House where Hon Chamisa speaks. That is followed by a meeting with the man who did so much to help our education system during the GNU, former Development Minister Andrew Mitchell. In the afternoon we meet a team from the Economist and end the day addressing the Parliamentary Africa Group.

So a busy start to our few days in London. Tomorrow we meet senior Government leaders – but more of that then.

Our message will be the same – both Britain and Africa’s best interests will be best served if Zimbabwe is run by government which will go beyond paying mere lip service to respecting the rule of law and the Constitution.
