Amidst our many tasks, challenges and worries, today we should pause and at least for one brief moment think of the earth — beautiful, fragile, threatened, ours. #EarthDay https://t.co/z5BN03EmSI

Proud to be part of @EduCannotWait’s Steering Group and to contribute to its key goal of pursuing education for all, especially young people left furthest behind — children in conflict, refugee girls, and those impacted by COVID19 or climate change. @GordonBrown @YasmineSherif1 https://t.co/fEiwMitsYn

I join @DeborahLyonsUN and @UNAMAnews in extending condolences to the families of those killed or injured in today’s horrific and coward attack against a Kabul school. Afghanistan’s ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity is at great risk. It must be respected and kept safe.

The UK will send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be processed, shifting its responsibilities to another country and undermining the practice of asylum globally. The same practice which has saved thousands of refugees, from Ukraine and many other places.
