The government's reset with the EU is a fantastic achievement.
Now let's improve our democracy by allowing Parliament to vote.

With so much happening globally, it's easy to overlook our oceans - but the continued abuse of our oceans is simply unsustainable.

The UK led efforts to get 115 countries to sign the High Seas Treaty. So why haven’t we ratified it?

If the Houthis really cared about the Palestinians, they would stop.

Last night, my committee met the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Mohammad Mustafa.

The government’s Memorandum of Understanding with the PA is an important step.

The next step must be to recognise a Palestinian State.

There is no justification for the renewed assault and besiegement of Gaza.

Now that the Israeli government has abandoned the fragile course of peace, what is the international community's Plan B?

Soft power isn't a nice-to-have.
It’s the core of peace and security.

In Parliament yesterday I co-sponsored a debate with my friend @sarahchampionmp.bsky.social on FCDO spending.

The Minister's response:

In the Middle East last week, my committee was warned by Jordanians, Saudis, Israelis and Palestinians: the annexation of the West Bank is imminent.

We cannot allow the far-right Israeli government to annex the West Bank while the world looks the other way.

The Prime Minister's response:

The Prime Minister united Europe this weekend in support of Ukraine. He reminded us of the power of a proud, internationalist Britain.

But with the aid budget cut, I am concerned that there will not be enough money to sustain that global leadership in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine.

Donald Trump’s proposals for Gaza are unacceptable, unworkable, and would be in breach of international law.
