We’re having a great Platinum Jubilee weekend so far with communities across the Harewood Ward.

During Monday’s plenary of the #NATOPAVilnius Spring Session, the Assembly adopted 2 resolutions by #NATOPA President @GerryConnolly and @MichalSzczerba, #UNIC co-chair calling for further support for 🇺🇦 and long-term #NATO adaptation to counter 🇷🇺's threat. Declarations 👇

Mr Shelbrooke, MP for Elmet and Rothwell, has in the past few weeks described what went on in Downing Street as "indefensible".

But he says the PM is leading global response & the instability of a leadership contest "would be a gift to Putin and his brutal invasion in Europe"

NEW: Quite a statement from Tory MP @AlecShelbrooke head of UK delegation to Nato assembly, who says it's not the time to change PM because of the real prospect of naval conflict with Russia & "high risk of death to British service personnel"

My draft of the declaration on Standing with Ukraine adopted unanimously by #NATOPA.„We urge @nato countries to increase substantially the supply of military equipment, particularly anti-aircraft, artillery, ammunition, anti-missile, and anti-ship systems which🇺🇦 urgently needs!”

Our Borders Bill makes it easier to remove dangerous foreign criminals, introduces an Australian style, points-based immigration system, and brings in harsher punishments for people-smugglers.

Conservatives have been getting on with the job – in the last 48 hours alone, we’ve brought 19 more crucial acts into law.

We’re clamping down on terrorism in prisons – here’s how 🔻
