Following the Government statement on the Southport murders, former Home Secretary James Cleverly highlights the need to revisit the distinction between a terrorist incident and a non-terrorist incident and the consequent response, he specifically calls for the review to consider removing the arbitrary distinction of motivation and instead focus exclusively on the risks and actions.
James Cleverly emphasises the importance of preserving the bond of friendship between the UK and Ukraine, even after the scars and pain of the conflict have subsided. He calls on the Government to take steps now to support British-based businesses and investors going to Ukraine, in preparation for the day when Russia is expelled from Ukraine’s sovereign territory, allowing Ukrainians to fully rebuild their homeland.
Following the Foreign Secretary’s update to the House of Commons on the deal announced between Israel and Hamas, James Cleverly cautiously welcomes the deal and urges the Government to do everything possible to help ensure the hostages are released promptly and the aid gets to the people who need it.
