Should the UK recognise a Palestinian state? Dame Emily Thornberry, chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, tells @annaefoster the UK would show itself as 'a force for good' if it were to recognise the territory. #R4Today
'We have to use our political capital and recognise Palestine as a state' @EmilyThornberry tells @SophyRidgeSky the government needs to recognise Palestine as a state and put pressure on Donald Trump #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📱 trib.al/ctguhoZ
PM @Keir_Starmer on strengthening 🇬🇧-🇪🇺 relations on defence: “NATO has been the cornerstone of our peace for decades. If it is to continue to be - and it’s our duty to make sure that it is - it requires some more heavy lifting from the Europeans.”
'I'm open to solutions from Israel... but they have no serious solutions' @EmilyThornberry throws open the question to Israel - "the Palestinians aren't going anywhere so what are we going to do?" #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d 📱 trib.al/ctguhoZ
PM tells @EmilyThornberry at Liaison C'tee that EU Summit is yearly "not just to monitor progress, but to go further". Hints that medicines and artists' touring visas are very much on the menu of "common sense changes... that have very little to do with the vote in 2016". ~AA

Today marks 30 years since the atrocities of the Srebrenica genocide. 8,000 Muslim men and boys slaughtered in less than a week. One group of people, racially and culturally the same, turned on purely because of their religion. It is a tragedy and should be a lesson to us all.
"There’s not going to be a Palestine left to recognize unless we get on with it." @EmilyThornberry (@CommonsForeign) speaking at Chatham House this week assesses the first year of the Labour government. Watch in full ➡️ bit.ly/45VtJTw
