The world is changing. It is time for the UK to embrace The Commonwealth. That is why we have launched the Conservative Commonwealth Group.

This afternoon, The King received President Tinubu for an audience at Windsor Castle, before visiting Vicars’ Hall, Windsor, where His Majesty and The President, joined by the First Lady, met organisations who work in interfaith dialogue nationally and internationally.

It made me proud to see this fantastic tribute to our Commonwealth of Nations in Parliament Square today.
