Destructive fishing vessels are exploiting UK Marine Protected Areas - pushing many delicate habitats to the risk of collapse!  @10DowningStreet @DefraGovUK will you step up and protect our waters? #SaveOurSeas
Refugees as Rebuilders, an Initiatives of Change programme, trains refugees in skills which enable them to contribute to Britain while they are here, and to their home countries when they return. It is a far better response than sending asylum seekers to Rwanda.

Initiatives of Change International This gross violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is not just devastating Ukraine. It will cause untold damage to Russia and its proud history. The people of both countries are being forced into a war they do not want.

We will use our centres to bring together Russians and Ukrainians, knowing that their true destiny is one of friendship, and that Ukraine can become a bridge of understanding and cooperation between Russia and Western Europe.

.@RishiSunak will you make or break care? Older people and their carers need better care *now* not in 3+ years' time. Show them you care, give councils decent funding on 27th Oct. Without this care reform will fail. #SocialCareCantWait #DoesRishiReallyCare
I am grateful for MPs with a sense of honour and concern for the world's poorest.
I shall vote today to honour our election pledge, uphold the law and restore our overseas aid spending to just 0.7% of a reduced Gross National Income.

.@POTUS @KamalaHarris, the world is calling on you to suspend the #patents and share the science, so that more countries can produce the life-saving @Pfizer @JNJNews & @moderna_tx #COVID19 #vaccines. Everyone deserves a fair shot! #PeoplesVaccine avaaz.org/peoplesvaccine
Energy Minister @annietrev and @beisgovuk please show climate leadership by: 1) Stopping new oil and gas licences 2) Retraining oil and gas workers 3) Going renewable and creating thousands of green jobs to go #FossilFree
The evidence is mounting and @PritiPatel is running out of excuses to continue housing vulnerable asylum seekers in old army barracks without adequate access to healthcare. I support @DOTW_UK's calls to #CloseTheBarracks. xitter.cf/DOTW_UK/status/1362070…
Here's the latest on the #barracks: The High Court has heard @ukhomeoffice ignored advice from Public Health England that housing asylum seekers in dormitories in army barracks was inappropriate in a pandemic, months before an outbreak of #COVID19. theguardian.com/politics/202…

As we face the worst crisis for children since WW2, I’m asking @DominicRaab to safeguard the UK's long-term commitment to 0.7% #UKAid. The Government must set out how it will protect children & their futures 💙 #SaveUKAid
I stand with refugee children. Britain needs to welcome the children whose parents are already here, but whose children are still elsewhere in Europe. We need to play our part in creating a humane world, and this is one way we can do it.
