MPs today debated the foreign policy priorities set out by the new British government. Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry MP called out Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s “shameful inaction in holding Myanmar to account for its genocidal treatment of the Rohingya” during his time as Foreign Secretary. Bob Blackman MP raised how the UK need to help Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh with aid, and support their repatriation to Burma under safe and secure conditions.
