Starmer must address the Nation In case the message hasnโ€™t quite got through to our European Leaders, you canโ€™t voice it more starkly than in the new U.S. National Security Strategy. The new strategy shows the U.S. administrationโ€™s ...

Following the US strategy, #Starmer must address the nation. The UK needs a Great Reform Act to protect its democracy, a resilience budget for civil protection /our armed forces & the use of Russia's frozen assets to support Ukraine @lordrennard.bsky.social

Freedoms we once took for grantedโ€”the right to speak openly, to gather in protest, to write without fearโ€”have been steadily stripped away". See more:

UK/Europe Must Now Learn To Say โ€œNoโ€: Starmer must address the nation The time has come for the liberal world to say โ€œnoโ€ to President Trump. Europeโ€™s leaders are heading for Washington today to support President Zelensky and Ukraineโ€™s sovereign integrity in the face of...

With Trump now trying to sell out Ukraine to clear the path for a US-Russian economic partnership, the time has come for our leaders to come to their senses and to see that the U.S. under Trump is no real ally anymore. Read my analysis

I was delighted to greet former #Taiwan President Tsai Ing-Wen at her House of Lords presentation this morning. Her speech emphasised growing friendly Taiwan-UK ties at a time of growing challenges facing liberal democracies. The people of Taiwan should be left to chart their own future!

No time to waste โ€“ Block a tsunami of far-right financing! In December 2024, Elon Musk planned to donate US$100 million to Reform UK via one of his British companies, an amount of money which would have swamped our electoral system. After falling out with Nig...

See my article today about the establishment of the UK's first home-grown far-right PAC. There is an urgent need for new safeguards to our electoral system. Labour must legislate immediately, not 2026!

Europe, including the UK, must now take full responsibility to assist Ukraine, where it has the military capabilities to do so.

It is clear Trump administration wanting to bully their neighbours, no matter at what cost. Well done to Zelensky to hold his head high and not submit to this bullying tactics. Europe, it is time for you to take the lead. #standwithukraine
