I’m glad to have voted to stop Farage’s plans to undermine our Human Rights Leaving the ECHR would undo hard-won British rights - freedom of expression, right to investigations & more - not stop small boat crossings. Real solutions need international cooperation, not isolation

They kill people - and sell their stuff, like there’s nothing wrong with this. Classic imperialism. #StandWithUkraine

Finnish Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen: "Currently, total aid to Ukraine is only 0.1-0.2 percent of Europe's GDP. It is certainly not true that we cannot do better. There is a large number of underperforming countries in Europe."
