As post-Brexit Britain charts an independent course in international policy, the Consular Corps of London is delighted to host Tom Tugendhat MP, the chair of the influential Foreign Affairs Select Committee of the House of Commons, to find out what ‘Global Britain’ means and what role he sees the UK carving out in a world of competing powers.

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate.
Less than 10% of speakers this week are women.
This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.
Our priorities at UNGA are simple:
➡️ A reset with the Global South.
➡️ A reset on the climate and nature emergency and restoring our leadership on international development.
➡️ Promoting security at home and abroad.
➡️ Boosting economic growth for the UK.
