Global action on unsustainable debt is essential to mobilise private investment and strengthen resilience to climate and economic shocks.
My speech at the @RockefellerFdn event in Bangkok on reforming the global financial system 👇

We wholeheartedly welcome @Ed_Miliband’s call at the IMF & World Bank Meetings for urgent reform to the global financial system. Developing countries need fairer finance, debt relief and investment in climate resilience. 🌍 theguardian.com/politics/202…
Cutting aid doesn’t just cost lives - it makes us all less safe.
This is an unserious, recycled announcement from the party that created the mess in our prisons: a desperate bid to claw back Reform voters - not a serious response to Britain’s challenges.
Kemi Badenoch has announced the Conservatives will spend £2bn annually to create the extra spaces within seven years of taking power.
The Tory leader said the move – largely funded by cutting foreign aid to just £1bn a year – would be the biggest prison-building programme since the Victorian era and enable the Tories to cancel Labour’s early release of “dangerous” offenders to tackle jail overcrowding ⤵️

I did 17 events at Labour conference but they all had one message: people can’t be expected to feel concern for the stranger if they've had no love from their neighbour. Connections here at home and the bonds of solidarity that bind us internationally are not separate causes.

“If you come to us and tell us to do something because it’s fundamentally the right thing to do, you will have a hearing from this government purely on that basis” - my favourite quote from #LPC26. From the brilliant @kirstyjmcneill at @LabourCID @bondngo development rally

Generations of Labour & Co-operative campaigners have worked to put our shared values into power.
Today, for the first time ever, a Labour & Co-operative Prime Minister addresses Labour Party Conference. 🌹🐝
We were delighted to host
this “In Conversation With” Minister for International Development & Africa @kirstyjmcneill - alongside @BritainLeads @LabourFPG @labourforces
Many people in Britain are unaware that UK aid is saving lives overseas.
That was the message from @kirstyjmcneill, Minister for International Development and Africa, at our “In Conversation” event at @UKLabour Conference.
Kirsty joined Heather Stewart, Economics Editor @guardian, to discuss the UK’s commitment to multilateralism, the role of development in crisis prevention, and tackling violence against women and girls.
Thanks to Kirsty, Heather and our partners: @LabourCID, @labourforces and @LabourFPG.
.@MariaFFinnerty chaired a hopeful session on the UK's 2027 G20 Presidency: A Historic Opportunity to Fix the System. @liambyrnemp @josephpowell @MazzucatoM @dhnnjyn @romilly_bond shared their vision for how we can make progress, across debt, global tax & illicit finance
“We believe in dignity, in solidarity, & in the idea that everyone - no matter where they are born - can live a decent life.”
Our chair @staff_heather spoke at the LCID & @bondngo reception with @kirstyjmcneill, where we were delighted to be joined by a packed room of partners
It was excellent to see @staff_heather, chair the @FairtradeUK @thefabians event on the G20 opportunity, with @kirstyjmcneill.
