Labour unveils foreign policy pledge to fix Britain’s ‘tarnished’ international reputation

Foreign policy ‘has never been more important for working people’s lives’ says David Lammy

Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy promises a ‘reset’ (PA)

Labour would seek a new security pact with the EU if elected and establish a “threats cell” to tackle interference from powers such as Russia and China, David Lammy will say on Tuesday.

The shadow foreign secretary will pledge a “reset” of relations with Brussels by boosting trade, repairing science and research ties and fixing the Northern Ireland protocol.

A Labour government would also push for climate action to become another pillar of the United Nations alongside peace and security, human rights, rule of law, and development.
