Any negotiation process can only proceed on the basis of trust. When one party to a negotiation decides that they can change what’s already agreed and incorporated into law, it really undermines trust. This is a critical time in the #Brexit process and the stakes are very high.

I am delighted that we have secured a seat on UN Security Council. Our defence forces have served UN’s peace keeping efforts with distinction since 1958 and our country has played a leading role at the UN for almost 60 years. Congratulations to all involved in the bid process. 🇮🇪

With multiple reports of a missile strike destroying maternity & children’s hospital in #Mariupol , despite ceasefire agreement, the indiscriminate cruelty of Putin’s invasion is crystal clear. This war on civilians must end.

Appalled by the horrible deaths of Palestinians queueing for aid in Gaza city. International humanitarian law is unambiguous - Israel as occupying power must protect civilians & ensure basic services. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is man made and completely unacceptable.

Biggest day yet in the #CovidVaccine rollout yesterday with 41,500 doses given out. 25% of eligible adults now have their first dose - 948,000. And 10% are now fully vaccinated with two doses - 381,000. The vaccines, vaccinators, and volunteers are making a real difference
