Great to host the House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle and British MPs to attend the Inter-Parliamentary Union assembly in Arusha and discuss importance of democratic pluralism, oversight and accountability.
We did it! Our all female team summited Mount Kilimanjaro via the 7-day Machame route - and what a view! Definitely no walk in the park and a good lesson that sometimes going Pole Pole (slowly) is definitely the best way to go and teamwork really counts #kilimanjaro

Today we have summoned the Russian Ambassador. Russia’s violation of NATO airspace last week, striking a residential building in Romania, was reckless and dangerous. Its continued strikes across Ukraine show blatant disregard for civilian life.
The UK stands firmly with Ukraine, Romania and all NATO Allies.
