The UK government is kickstarting the next chapter in our golden age of nuclear and welcomes a landmark agreement with Czechia.  Supporting high-skilled jobs, boosting growth and delivering clean, homegrown energy.

More than 800 Palestinians have been killed as they queue to get aid, including by IDF fire. This is abhorrent. Every day without a ceasefire, the hostages’ suffering increases and the death toll in Gaza rises. A deal must be reached and Israel must let the United Nations save lives.

"This is a historic day for German-British relations" – Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz. Germany and the UK have signed a landmark friendship treaty at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The horror in Gaza must end. We're stepping up our humanitarian efforts with new healthcare, food and water for Gazans. We need an immediate ceasefire now, the release of all hostages and a surge in aid.

The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.

June was the deadliest month in Ukraine yet. July is set to be even worse. From 18-23 July, Russia attacked Ukraine with over 940 drones and 59 missiles. Russia is mocking the diplomacy it claims to support. Ukraine has agreed to an immediate ceasefire. But Putin prefers war.

With the strength of our Armed Forces, the UK is protecting vital trade routes and supporting a free and open Indo-Pacific. Fantastic to visit the Carrier Strike Group in Darwin with John Healey Senator Penny Wong Richard Marles. Peace through strength and allies🇬🇧🇦🇺
