Garcia takes on UN, and Picardo attends make-or-break Brexit talks
but in the end only Dr Garcia went on to New York, with Picardo remaining in London to attend all-important Brexit talks. The unscheduled Brexit meeting arose towards the end of last week, so decisions had to be taken at the last minute.
