Excellent first meeting with the APPG on Europe with a good discussion on bilateral relations, security & defence, trade and migration, as set out in the #KensingtonTreaty. MPs will play a key role in bringing the treaty to life. Look forward to working with the APPG on Germany.

We've just had the APPG on Europe AGM and I am delighted to be re-appointed as CO-Chair. The year ahead will involve more Parliamentarians in a constructive look at UK-EU relations. Recent comments from President Trump portraying Europe as "weak" are wrong. @ConsEurope

Was really pleased to chair a meeting of the @AppgEurope welcoming Michael McGrath, the European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection.
So important to strengthen relationships with our closest neighbours on key topics like these!

Today, there is a UK-EU summit to discuss working together on things that just make sense. Like shorter queues at airports, security cooperation and youth mobility.
Yesterday, I discussed it with @bbclaurak

A great pleasure to welcome @DrRosena, Chair of @AppgEurope, to the 🇨🇭 Residence & to exchange on common interests: #WEURO2025 in Switzerland, UK/EU reset, training health service staff & @MontreuxJazz.
This week, the APPG on Europe held a meeting on the future of UK–EU foreign, security and defence cooperation.
With Russian aggression continuing in Ukraine & a less reliable partner in Washington, it’s in both the UK & EU’s strategic interest to work more closely together. /1
Emerging threats — from cyber security to hybrid warfare and disinformation — demand close, cross-border collaboration. Neither the UK nor the EU can address these challenges alone. /5
Important and timely visit by APPG Co-Chair @DrRosena to Brussels.
At a time of growing global threats, deeper UK-EU cooperation on defence & security is more vital than ever.
The Summit on 19 May is a key opportunity to advance a comprehensive UK-EU security pact. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Fantastic to meet with @sandrogozi in Brussels this week.
While the current climate is cause for concern for many of us across Europe, I am heartened to know that we have strong friends and allies on the continent.

It was a pleasure to meet Tobias Cremer MEP and @Yannis_Maniatis in Brussels to discuss the UK and EU’s shared interests in defence and security.
Now is the time to work with our European allies across the continent.

Across Europe, our friends and allies have been horrified by developments in Ukraine.
In Brussels, I met with @DobrevKlara to discuss how we can work together towards peace and security for us all.
The 5th UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly recommendations provide a pragmatic and constructive roadmap for rebuilding trust and deepening cooperation. With the UK-EU Summit on 19 May 2025 approaching, there is a real opportunity to make progress.

1/ 🚨 First Meeting of the APPG on Europe 🚨
Yesterday, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Europe held its first official meeting in Parliament, chaired by @LordKirkhope.
6/ The meeting reinforced the importance of a strategic, pragmatic, and cooperative approach to UK-EU relations.
These insights will help shape how we, as an APPG, can support effective engagement and inform parliamentary debate.
