Today I had the honour of welcoming Volodymyr Zelenskyy @ZelenskyyUa, the President of Ukraine, to Parliament again. The Lord Speaker and I received an update on the situation on the ground in Ukraine, and we emphasised our unwavering support with Ukraine and its people.

It was a pleasure to welcome the UK Youth Parliament debate leads and special speakers from the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to Speaker’s House during @UKYP. It is important to give young people a platform to raise their voices on issues they care about.

To mark the completion of the Elizabeth Tower restoration, UK Parliament asked YOU to design your own tower… ✍️ The winners had a wonderful day touring Parliament, learning more about #BigBen and even enjoyed a #BigBen shaped cake. 🍰
