    The re-election of Donald Trump, along with the red wave that swept through the U.S., is likely to have significant repercussions for China at a sensitive time, and with no end in sight.

I have just asked @AngelaRayner to commit to Free Vote before any further UK military support to Israel. There is strong consensus across the House to prioritise de-escalation & diplomacy in the rapidly escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. https://t.co/zidPhBGhMC

'On the basis of our own evaluations, we came to the conclusion that we could not affirm that there is any systematic effort in Iran to manufacture a nuclear weapon' The nuclear watchdog does not believe Iran was trying to develop a nuclear weapon, its chief tells @SkyYaldaHakim https://t.co/HOuagHMsQ8
