14 years of the @Conservatives has damaged the UK’s influence in a more divided and dangerous world. We need a new approach. @UKLabour ’s foreign policy will be underpinned by progressive realism. My interview with  @amanpour 👇🏿

An offensive in Rafah would be a humanitarian disaster, as well as risking the ceasefire and hostage deal. It must not go ahead. Extreme and dangerous rhetoric from Ministers like Smotrich must be condemned. We need an immediate ceasefire.

My friend Secretary General @AntonioGuterres ’s urgent call for donor states to restore future funding for @UNRWA must be answered. This is a critical aid lifeline for Palestinian people which @David_Cameron has shamefully failed to address. Labour will act.

Following the report by @MinColonna on mechanisms & procedures to ensure @UNRWA ’s adherence to the humanitarian principle of neutrality, an action plan is put in place to implement its recommendations. I appeal to donors, host countries & staff to cooperate with this effort.

The Tory candidate, Susan Hall, is a hard-right, dangerous politician. She has endorsed Enoch Powell’s racist views, promoted Islamophobia and said the Black community has a ‘problem with crime.’ If you care about our city, vote @SadiqKhan tomorrow.

The UK will stand united on Ukraine for as long as it takes to win. Today I pressed the government on progress with the G7 to seize and repurpose frozen Russian state assets to support Ukraine’s reconstruction.

An internationally brokered ceasefire-deal is on the table. Hamas should accept this deal. We need an immediate ceasefire to avert a catastrophic continuation of this war. In Parliament today 👇🏿

We strongly condemn the death sentence for Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi.  His voice amplifies the aspirations of the Iranian people and all those silenced by the regime.  We call for his immediate release.   #SaveToomaj .

It has been a total joy to present on @LBC . But, as the election gets closer, it’s time this good thing comes to an end. I’ll miss the show, my LBC colleagues and most of all the chance to listen to so many callers from up and down the country.

The United Nations is the bedrock of international law, which the @Conservatives have undermined for too long. I visited @antonioguterres in New York to make clear the next @UKLabour government will redouble support for the @UN , back reform and restore future funding to UNRWA.

C'est toujours un plaisir intellectuel d'étudier les discours de @emmanuelmacron sur notre continent. Nous partageons une analyse commune : le nécessaire renouveau de l'axe franco-brittanique pour construire une architecture de sécurité et de défense européenne digne de ce nom.

Great to meet again with my friend @AntonioGuterres in New York. @UKLabour is committed to restoring future funding for @UNRWA and we support calls for an independent investigation and public report into the deaths of humanitarian workers during the war in Gaza.
