These horrifically cruel videos of the hostages like 23-year old Hersh Goldberg-Polin must end.

Hamas must release them now. We need an immediate ceasefire from all sides.

A pleasure to join Christiane Amanpour to talk progressive realism on CNN.

The next The Labour Party government will be fundamentally committed to NATO and European security.

We will always stand with Ukraine and confront Putin’s aggression.

As the US approves a major aid package for Ukraine and the UK announces a 2.5% defense spending target, UK shadow foreign secretary David Lammy says “we must stand with Ukraine… Biden is absolutely right: when America is strong and allies are strong, the free world is strong.”

The reports of mass graves at hospitals in Gaza are deeply disturbing. There must be an urgent and independent investigation.

Happy St George's Day. Let this be a time to celebrate our shared history, culture, and the diversity that makes our country great.

I'm proud of my Englishness and we all have a right to be.

The crisis in Sudan due to the generals' year-long war is an utter catastrophe. We must not avert our gaze. Today I used an urgent question in Parliament to focus the Govt's attention on the plight of the Sudanese people. #KeepEyesOnSudan youtu.be/3Fn0nYjDqqk

31 years on since his murder, Doreen Lawrence OBE continues to champion her son Stephen's legacy.

Growing up, he hoped to be an architect.

It was a privilege to join Doreen in speaking to children about Stephen as a role model for the next generation.

Happy Passover to Jewish people celebrating in Tottenham, across the UK and around the world.

Chag Sameach!

I’ve been reading the The New York Times since I was a teenager spending summers with relatives in Queens and Brooklyn.

It’s an honour to be profiled this weekend on The Labour Party’s vision for foreign policy: progressive realism 👇🏿

The authorization of aid to Ukraine in the House of Representatives is a huge breakthrough.

Mike Johnson deserves huge credit for the bipartisan cooperation that made this happen.

In this world of disorder, all sides in our democracies must work together to defend freedom.

This stinks. Boris Johnson is a disgrace. Rishi Sunak is weak.

It’s time to give the public a general election - and the chance to kick the rotten Conservatives out of office.

Floods in the desert — a stark reminder that no city or country on earth is immune to the indiscriminate ruin that climate change can inflict.

This tragic loss of life highlights the need for international action now more than ever.

War in Ukraine. War in the Middle East. An increasingly assertive China.

It is untenable that at this time of global disorder, the government has rejected proposals for the Foreign Secretary to be accountable to MPs.

David Cameron must urgently come to the Commons.

Heart-rending to watch. We owe Richard and the rest of the Windrush generation so much more. Despite their immense sacrifice and contribution to this country, many are still without justice.

The government simply cannot be trusted to provide it.

Gaza is beginning to resemble hell on earth.

We need an immediate ceasefire now.

Progressive Realism will underpin The Labour Party's foreign policy approach.

It takes the world as it is. Not as we wish it to be. It is realist means for progressive ends.

Today I’ve published ‘The Case for Progressive Realism’ in Foreign Affairs 👇🏿

Iran's attacks on Israel are a reckless and dangerous escalation. They must stop.

Israelis deserve to live in safety and security.

We must avert a regional war.

The changed Labour Party I lead knows that our nation’s defence must always come first.

That's why today I was the first Labour leader in over 30 years to see Britain’s nuclear submarines being built in Barrow-in-Furness.

Labour backs Barrow, and we back our nuclear deterrent.

My changed Labour Party is totally committed to our nation’s defence. 
 
We back our Armed Forces. We back our nuclear deterrent. We back Britain.

Российские власти несправедливо и безосновательно удерживают Владимира Кара-Мурзу в заключении. Он должен быть освобожден немедленно.

Russia is unjustly and cruelly holding Vladimir Kara-Murza in custody for speaking out for peace and democracy. The UK must do all it can to
