Labour’s next Foreign Secretary, Douglas Alexander MP, our next International Development Secretary, Mary Creagh MP, our next Climate Change Secretary Caroline Flint MP and our next Defence Minister Ian Lucas MP will all speak on our panel, which will be followed by a Q&A and a drinks reception. The event will be chaired by Mary Riddell, columnist for The Daily Telegraph.
Internationalism is in Labour’s DNA. From Indian independence, to the anti-apartheid struggle, and the last government’s tripling of aid and rescuing of the global economy, the Labour Party has a record to be proud of. In a year that will see Britain go to the polls, a new set of Sustainable Development Goals agreed, and a global climate deal negotiated, how can that great tradition be carried forward? How can Britain once again become a progressive powerhouse, leading global efforts for a more equal, safer, and more prosperous world?
