We would like to thank @JennyChapman for her support and engagement with LCID during her time as Minister for Development. We look forward to continuing to work together to make the case for global cooperation.

I will always be proud to have played a part in Keir Starmer’s journey to Number Ten. In Government, it’s been a great honour to serve as International Development Minister, and in Keir Starmer’s Cabinet. I’m disappointed to be leaving but wish the Prime Minister and his new team every success. Cutting the aid budget has been challenging and has required much soul searching, but I passionately believe thanks to the work we’ve done, we’re spending the money better than ever before. We have a modern strategy and approach, working in partnership with developing countries rather than in a paternalistic way, and keeping strong commitments on global health and humanitarian aid. Thank you to all the brilliant people I’ve worked with in the UK and overseas. Thanks to them and to Keir Starmer the U.K. is once again a force for good internationally.

The FCDO’s aid allocations today should be a wake-up call for the UK. We can’t claim global leadership while retreating from the world’s toughest challenges. @andyburnham has spoken before about the need for an ambitious international development agenda. Now’s the time for action

Andy Burnham is right: Britain is entering a more dangerous world & hard power matters. But hard power alone isn’t enough. Labour’s values, & our manifesto commitment on international aid, are essential. Without them, our military strength costs more & leaves Britain less secure.

Increasing our national security, in every sense, will be my first priority if I become Prime Minister. This is why 👇🏻 thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Keir Starmer has served with dedication as Prime Minister and we wish him well. UK leadership on global development is more vital than ever. We urge the next Labour PM to use the UK’s 2027 G20 Presidency to drive bold action for a safer, more stable and prosperous world.

It’s good to hear the PM reaffirm the UK’s commitment to international development in #PMQs today, as we see the worrying rise of Ebola cases. That commitment now needs to be matched with long-term certainty on the aid budget.
BBC Politics@BBCPolitics

As the Ebola outbreak spreads, Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey asks will PM rule out further cuts to UK's international aid programme PM says decision on previous cuts was linked to increased defence spending but he is committed to overseas aid #PMQs bbc.in/4tEU405

Peace agreements are 64% less likely to fail when women meaningfully participate, yet in 2023 women made up only 9.6% of negotiators. The Government must do more to aid change, and deliver on its obligations to the Women, Peace and Security agenda  ⬇️ committees.parliament.uk/committee/98/i…

Today's allocations show the stark reality of the decision to slash the aid budget. We warned a year ago that it would lead to more poverty, less security, and diminish our standing in the world. This is the harsh reality. Read our chair’s statement @staff_heather

Fragile and conflict affected states will receive up to 71% of aid funding, but will still face 25% cut overall and non-fcas facing 60% cut. Remember Aid can help prevent conflict, that should be our focus.
Sarah Champion@SarahChampionMP

£11m more for BBC World Service (8%). Annual funding over next 3 years will be £148 m compared to £137m currently. Allocation is flat over 3 years meaning inflation will erode the instead in later years of the spending plan
