WITH the general election only days away, international solidarity is an area of policy which has not been high on the agenda of any of the major parties.  

As an organisation committed to supporting those on struggle across the world, Liberation is calling for a just and equitable foreign policy on the part of the British government, whoever is in 10 Downing Street from July 5 onwards.

Such an approach would mean addressing the assumptions in a document called Global Britain in a Competitive Age, the Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy, published in March 2021, setting out the government’s vision for Britain’s role in the world over the next decade and actions that will be taken up to 2025.
