Approval of $61 billion of military aid for #Ukraine by 🇺🇸 is a highly significant moment. Along with more aid from 🇬🇧 & allies, it is a major boost for 🇺🇦's Armed Forces & sends a powerful message to Putin: the world continues to stand united in defence of freedom. @DefenceHQ

On #BelarusFreedomDay we mark Belarus’ declaration of independence in 1918. We reaffirm the UK’s solidarity with the Belarusian people and pay tribute to those who continue to strive for a free and independent Belarus in the face of relentless repression.

Last Friday, Year 9s and sixth formers welcomed Farnborough's local MP, @LeoDochertyUK . The girls enjoyed asking intriguing questions, which was particularly important on #InternationalWomensDay , when we remembered the women who fought for the right to vote.

On International Women’s Day, I pay tribute to the women and girls fighting for freedom worldwide. Maria Kolesnikova, a political activist imprisoned by the Belarusian regime, has had no contact with family or friends for over a year. I call for her immediate release.
