This is not the first time Alex has joined in, with the MP posting a similar video last year as he jumped in on the music-making!

Following high-level discussions with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has called for increased defence investment across Europe.
In a Facebook post on Monday evening, Metsola wrote:
“At this critical moment in history, Europe must invest more on defence. It’s time to walk the talk, and our commitment needs to match the level of threat we are facing.”
Her comments come at a pivotal moment, as concerns over Russia’s actions continue to shape the geopolitical landscape.
Metsola highlighted that the coming weeks would be crucial in determining the future stability of the continent, with the war in Ukraine remaining a top priority in discussions with NATO.
NATO, a military alliance founded after World War II, originally included 12 countries and has since expanded to 32 members. While the United States has historically played a dominant role in the alliance, its long-term commitment has come into question.
Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised European members for insufficient defence spending and has even suggested the U.S. could withdraw unless financial contributions increase.
Rutte has also advocated for European nations to raise their defence budgets, echoing similar calls from other NATO leaders. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to push for NATO membership, though U.S. officials have cast doubt on the feasibility of this goal in the near future.
Although Malta is not a NATO member, Prime Minister Robert Abela recently suggested the country should reassess its approach to neutrality and consider increasing defence spending.
