I spoke with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. We discussed the current developments and exchanged views on the next steps.
We are coordinating our positions and doing everything to achieve guaranteed peace as soon as possible and bring an end to this war.
Peace is needed for all of us. A just peace with clear security guarantees. Together with the leadership of the United States and all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable.
I am grateful for the advice and support during this challenging time. We will always remember everything the British people have done for Ukrainians and our shared security.

As NHS hospitals experience a “tidal wave” of flu cases, it is amazing news that vaccine bookings surged by 124% yesterday with 21,144 booked in just one day. I’m eligible and have had my vaccines - and it’s not too late to book if you haven’t already.

Too often, I have said to my friends, 'Please just watch my drink', stood with my hand over a drink or looked at it, concerned it was not the colour it should be.
I've seen people attempt it on me, and I've seen friends go through it.
This shouldn't be accepted. This is welcomed news.
🇪🇸First visit to @IBTMevents in Barcelona as a speaker! 🎤

Today is equal pay day - the day when women effectively stop getting paid because of the gender pay gap.
At current rates it will take 16 years to close this gap.
The employee rights bill is vital for women’s pay and equality:
✅ Day 1 rights against unfair dismissal, sick pay & parental leave
✅ Day 1 flexible working rights
✅ Extended redundancy and unfair dismissal protections for pregnant and new parents
✅ Ban zero-hours contracts

This month I will be voting for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
I believe everyone should have choice at the end of their life, and am confident in the safeguards in this Bill.

Party political conferences season has ended! I attended @UKLabour @Conservatives @LibDems @NASUWT. Great opportunity to have grassroot discussions on education to ensure it is fit for purpose.

Sky News has uncovered a culture of workplace abuse in schools.
Dr Patrick Roach from @NASUWT says these are 'systemic issues which need a systemic response'.

Plenty of time before Patrick hands over the reins at @NASUWT - but just to say I think he’s an incredible trade unionist & fighter for racial justice.
A great friend, colleague and advocate for teachers and teaching.
General Secretary of NASUWT - The Teachers’ Union, Dr Patrick Roach, has today announced he will not be seeking a further term as General Secretary.
Dr Roach told members, staff and activists that the election of a new UK Government would give his successor the opportunity to “make their mark” and new opportunities lay ahead for the Union to secure a New Deal for Teachers and achieve its mission of putting teachers first.

⚠️ Teachers and school leaders need pay rises 'significantly above' inflation over the next 5 years to restore pay to 2010 levels and 'repair the damage done to recruitment and retention', say unions
