We have published a letter to the Prime Minister expressing our deep concern at the Government’s proposed cuts to international aid. Read our letter👇

Following our letter to the Government regarding the foreign aid budget cuts and preceding today's chamber debate on the FCDO’s use of public money, Chair @SarahChampionMP continues to make the case for rethinking cuts to the foreign aid budget.

Trudeau: "I want to speak directly to the American people. We don't want this…But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically." Trudeau cares more about us than Trump.

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts. We are ready to work fast to end the war, and the first stages could be the release of prisoners and truce in the sky — ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure — and truce in the sea immediately, if Russia will do the same. Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the US to agree a strong final deal. We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. And we remember the moment when things changed when President Trump provided Ukraine with Javelins. We are grateful for this. Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.

Former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa wrote the following letter to Donald Trump: 1/n

Leave flag of your country in the comments with ✊️ to show your support for 🇺🇦 and President Zelenskyy!

@JDVance 457 British soldiers were killed in Afghanistan after going to war to support America after America was attacked on 9/11. Has Trump ever said thank you? Vance and Trump insult all of us. 🤬 Absolute insult, so what random countries was he on about?

STOP LYING. Your entire expertise is watching russian propaganda videos. I’m Ukrainian. No matter how much you lie. This is now history. Fact. You stripped us of nuclear weapons even as we told you that we were afraid. You assure us of protection. Russian outlined policy of genocide to kill 20 million of us and “reeducate” rest. They outlined removing our children to ensure we have no future. Then they carried this plan out. They stole 700k+ of our children after arresting, killing or placing their parents in concentration camps. We begged you to help us get our children back. Putin is indicted At Hague for crimes against humanity for illegal deportation, rape and trafficking of Ukrainian children. This could have been your finest hour. All Trump had to do is say one sentence: Mr Putin, return all Ukranian children and release all people in concentration camps, or else. You would have been greatest country on earth and greatest leader on earth. But you decided to extort us with any assurances. You wanted us to stop fighting to get our children back and call it peace. Maybe in America you don’t know bond of parent and child. But we will walk into hell for our children. History now records this. This is who you are now. Extortionists, liars, bullies who sacrifice children for greed. You have no humanity. You sent private Jet for Tate Brothers, but you did not care about nation of stolen, r@ped, executed children. Lie to yourselves. This is what you stand for.

They are the two countries that have talked about putting boots on the ground. You were talking about European nations. Who else did you mean? Do you think you might be a bit out of your depth?

We will take all measures to protect the British people. Today we've taken steps to ensure Iran's activity in the UK is countered at all levels - sending a strong message to the regime and those that do its bidding.

Speaking to counterparts from 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇵🇱 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 today, our determination to work with the US to deliver a just and lasting peace in Ukraine remains clear. Ukraine's security is Europe's security. We will step up and we are stepping up - together.

Economic security is national security. Increased defence spending will benefit every region and nation of the UK.

During @CommonsIDC inquiry on displaced people I asked Tinebeb Berhane, Country Director of Ethiopia for @ActionaidE, what would prevent displacement & help people return home. She responded, peacebuilding initiatives, that invite the right stakeholders to the table are critical.

My new report sadly confirms what I have long feared—unprecedented Crown Court backlogs are leaving victims trapped in a cycle of delay, frustration and despair. This must change. My report: victimscommissioner.org.uk/news/justice-d…

Completely agree with @alexsobel - we must go further to protect #HongKong democracy activists residing in the UK, some of whom are living in genuine fear of kidnap @ipacglobal
