The UK is stronger when we work in lockstep with our closest international partners. This has never been more important with war, conflict and insecurity all knocking on Europe’s door. Better co-operation will secure our borders, keep us safe and boost economic growth.

We condemn Iran's attack on Israel in the strongest terms. I spoke with @Israel_katz and expressed my support for Israel's right to protect the security of its people. We must find a route to de-escalate this conflict and secure ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza.

I condemn Iran’s attack on Israel in the strongest terms. Today I warned Iran against taking action that could push the region further towards the brink. A cycle of escalation is in no one’s interest.

New @UN reporting describes Russia systematically torturing Ukrainians. @UNHumanRights spoke to prisoners of war detained by Russia and found that 97% had experienced torture or ill-treatment. Those responsible for war crimes must be held accountable.
