As the new Labour government settles into power in the UK, it must navigate both domestic challenges and an increasingly complex international landscape. Much has changed in the world since Labour last held office 14 years ago. The UK finds itself outside the European Union and potentially facing a more isolationist United States. But as our Chief Sara Pantuliano and Global Strategy Director Mark Miller write, this precarious moment also presents a unique chance for the UK to redefine its role on the global stage. Here are four ways the new government can rebuild trust and reconnect Britain, both at home and abroad ⬇ #UKPolitics #UKElection #Labour

The Labour Party must navigate both domestic challenges and an increasingly complex international landscape as it settles into power in the UK, following a decisive election win. The new government are taking office at a precarious moment, but they have a unique chance to shape a new narrative and redefine the UK's role on the global stage, building on new Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s concept of ‘progressive realism’. Restoring trust among countries in the 'Global South' must be high on the agenda for new Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Cabinet, following years of reneging on international commitments by the UK and other Western countries. From sharing the benefits of #economictransformation and reframing the #migration question to championing a fairer international #finance system and #human rights, Mark Miller and I have identified four ways Labour can reconnect Britain, both at home and abroad. https://lnkd.in/d78cbGaT #UKElection #UKPolitics #Labour

With the Labour Party’s recent victory in the UK elections, the world is keenly observing how their foreign policy will shape under the leadership of Keir Starmer. After 14 years in opposition, Labour has pledged a foreign policy rooted in “progressive realism,” aiming to navigate the complex global landscape with a pragmatic yet ethical approach. One of the key areas of interest is Africa, a continent of growing political and economic significance. A Strategic Review and Increased Defence Spending Labour’s foreign policy under Starmer promises to undertake a strategic defence review within the first year, targeting an increase in defence spending to 2.5% of GDP. This commitment underscores the party’s recognition of the need for a robust defence policy that aligns with their broader international objectives, including those related to Africa.

🌍 Review: The recent Labour landslide in the UK elections signals potential shifts in the country's Middle East policy. Under Keir Starmer’s leadership, while radical changes are not expected, there will be important adjustments. Labour’s focus on resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict and engaging more with Gulf countries highlights a nuanced approach balancing internal party views and international alliances. Additionally, a review of foreign aid and migration policies is on the agenda, reflecting Labour's broader vision for a cohesive Middle East strategy. Read the full analysis on what the future could hold for the UK's Middle East policy under Labour’s governance: https://lnkd.in/ewrTQwGm #UKPolitics #MiddleEastPolicy #LabourParty #KeirStarmer #ForeignPolicy

ODI, a leading global affairs think tank, offers guidance on how #Britain can engage with the #Global #South as an equal partner, rather than a former Imperial Power. I hope the "progressive realism" advocated by UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy entails less PREACHING and more LEARNING from the Global South - which pioneered new management and economic paradigms like #frugal #innovation that can help revitalize UK's ailing economy. https://lnkd.in/eeSXKePE

Let’s hope the new Labour government can bring positive change for all. The current state of affairs is concerning, with many aspects in disarray. There is a shared belief that Great Britain and Northern Ireland deserve better. #Government #Change #BetterFuture
