The first speech I gave, I think as shadow foreign secretary in parliament was in response to this new imperialism that we’re seeing from Vladimir Putin. And I recall the fact that my ancestors know what it is to face the barrel of a gun. We’re having this conversation here in Singapore. Singapore is a country that feels very generous towards the UK, recognises a colonial past, but actually has been able to work in partnership with the UK going forward. I welcome the fact that our new King has said that he wants to look closely at these issues. I think he’s started a new initiative to examine the royal family’s historic relationship with these issues. Join David as he talks to Rory and Alastair about Labour, international development, US politics, life in New York City, and the International Rescue Committee. To answer these questions and more is the first woman leader of the National Farmers Union, Minette Batters. Alexander Litvinenko: the man who solved his own murder after being poisoned by the Russian State in London.

The shadow international development secretary, Lisa Nandy, will be representing the Labour party. The shadow foreign secretary, David Lammy, has proposed regular meetings between UK and European Union ministers, as part of a major reset of British foreign policy under a Labour government. Then Lammy will travel to Washington with the shadow defence secretary, John Healey, later next week for meetings with US Democrat and Republican politicians and officials.
