The main mechanism to tackle the debt crisis is failing due to low level of participation of private creditors Given the crisis in Africa & growing role of China & Russia in the developing world, I asked the Govt if there's a strategic need for the UK to change its approach👇🏽

Proud to join Christian Aid War on Want and Oxfam today in calling for an immediate ceasefire in The Times and The Sunday Times 👇🏽 Until the UK Government calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and suspends its arms sales to Israel, it is complicit in the slaughter of innocent civilians

Dear Rishi Sunak and David Cameron, ❗️ Until the UK Government calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and suspends arms sales to Israel, it is complicit in the slaughter of innocent civilians taking place daily in Gaza. (1/2) #CeasefireNOW

More poverty of ideas from today’s budget. We need ambitious measures to tax extreme wealth and polluting companies, to invest in tackling poverty in the UK and globally. It’s perfectly possible + there’s public support for it. It’s really not that complicated. Christian Aid

"The false choice of responding to poverty at home and fulfilling our responsibilities to the poorest people should be firmly put in the dustbin of history. We can do both." Excellent new piece by Christian Aid on what the new government should prioritise on the global stage
