Foreign Affairs Questions: Alison McGovern

During foreign affairs questions to foreign secretary Liz Truss, Labour MP Alison McGovern called into question the “adequacies of the home office in foreign affairs”.

McGovern referred to the UK response to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine as having the “same administrative failures that hampered our response to Syrian refugees”.

Liz Truss admitted that the UK “didn’t do enough to tackle Putin and Russia” and that the UK “didn’t respond strongly enough to what happened in Crimea and Donbas”. She also said that she was “determined to do thing differently”.
