“Britain cannot afford to retreat on the world stage” – Lisa Nandy

Lisa Nandy MP, Labour’s Foreign Secretary, responding to a report by the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, said:

“Today’s striking report reveals a government with no clear strategy for engaging with the world. Our foreign policy is adrift and our international reputation has been significantly damaged.

“Britain cannot afford to retreat on the world stage, breaking alliances and weakening our global influence. The Foreign Secretary must come to the House and show that he has a plan to repair the damage this Government has done to Britain’s standing in the world.”
