Oliver Dowden 'We are holding Israel to INCREDIBLY high standards'.

Shameless

DUP thrown into yet another crisis in an election year and at a time of political fragility in the North.

The ECHR is integral to the GFA.

Perhaps you could have a word with Sunak?

PM willing to sacrifice UK’s commitment to human rights

Shame on him.
