A principled decision by @AnnelieseDodds to resign as International Development minister. UK aid is set to be decimated. The implications will be literally devastating and the future for UK soft power looks bleak.

Did you catch our wonderful staff on @SkyNews Breakfast this morning?
They chatted to @AnnaJonesSky about the joys of volunteering at @oxfamgb during the festive season:

Communities will understand @YvetteCooper condemning "criminal disorder & thuggery". But to avoid diminishing the hatred & violence specific groups are facing right now, let's clearly state what we're dealing with here: flagrant #racism & #Islamophobiabbc.co.uk/news/videos/cv…
Britons are calling for their country to be more united. Division and inequality are holding us back from tackling issues like poverty and climate change.

As the UK watches the #bbcdebate, the violence continues in Gaza. @RishiSunak@Keir_Starmer - during this General Election period, you shouldn’t get to look away. Your voters are watching and expect urgent action. #Gaza can't wait. Demand a #CeasefireNOW at bit.ly/3rRRJ8p
🚨Oxfam GBs Chief Executive @Halima_Begum says “History will judge the moral paralysis of our leaders” upon the publication of new data from @theIPCinfo report showing the entire of Gaza is at high risk of famine.
Join us in calling on the UK to do more to put pressure on Israel to allow aid in & end arms sales in line with its legal obligations and help bring about a permanent #CeasefireNOW. Sign the petition: bit.ly/3rRRJ8p
Thankyou SO much Michael & @EmilyEavis. What an utter joy & privilege to be in such a hopeful space as #Glastonbury with tens of thousands of likeminded folk. And to represent @OxfamGB at the opening of the gates with Emily & some of our 2,500 #Oxfam#Glasto#volunteers. Just wow!
Oxfam welcomes court’s decision to approve our intervention in judicial review of UK arms sales to Israel. @Halima_Begum says the Government is “failing to fulfil its moral responsibilities to bring about a peaceful end to this devastating conflict” oxfam.org.uk/mc/xftpuc/
SUCCESS: Today we were granted permission by the High Court to intervene in the legal case on the UK’s continued arm sales to Israel.
The UK must end arms sales in line with its legal obligations and help bring about a #CeasefireNOW

Israel is escalating its military offensive in Rafah in #Gaza, ignoring warnings of the catastrophic humanitarian cost. I’ve emailed the Foreign Secretary asking the UK to stop selling arms to Israel. Please take action too. oxfam.org.uk/get-involved/c…
