In the wake of Labour’s first budget, and the 2024 US election result returning Donald Trump to the Oval Office, Ryan joined Sky News to discuss the impacts this could have on development and the importance of development aid for UK businesses.

If reports are to be believed, the Government plans to make further cuts of over £2 billion to the UK’s international aid budget, which was already cut by around £4 billion 4 years ago.

A further cut would harm the millions of people around the world who rely on the UK’s development expertise and lifesaving support. It would do real damage to Britain’s reputation on the world stage.

Britain has shown itself to be one of Ukraine’s most significant and unwavering allies. It was a Conservative Prime Minister who first stated that Vladimir Putin must fail. The significance of the conflict is so great that the new Labour government has wasted no time in matching both the rhetoric and the substance shown by their predecessors.

The era of the long Parliamentary apprenticeship, during which a newly elected MP might hone their speechmaking or develop policy ideas, appears to be over.

Each generation of Parliamentarians will have crises they need to confront. The current Parliament has arguably faced one of the most challenging international environments in recent memory with Covid, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and now the Israel-Palestine conflict. But when MPs enter Parliament, with the exception of a few, none will have ever considered geopolitics and conflict.

During Conservative Party Conference 2023, Chief Executive Ryan Henson joined GB News to discuss why the UK Aid Budget should not be cut.

Today, the United Kingdom faces its own set of challenges, and a new Marshall Plan for overseas aid and development could be the answer to fostering national security and alleviating poverty on a global scale.

I’m an optimist. Optimistic for the prospect of a better country, a better world, and an increasingly important role which the UK can play within it – now, in 2030 and in 2050. That is why today, alongside former International Trade Secretary Liam Fox MP, I am launching the Coalition for Global Prosperity’s report, Global Britain, the confidence to lead.

Getting Global Britain right will be essential to making Levelling Up more resilient and therefore more likely to succeed. James Cleverly as the UK’s new Foreign Secretary is more than up to the task, as is Vicky Ford the new Development Minister who will attend Cabinet.

The July 2022 Edition of the Global Britain Magazine from the Coalition for Global Prosperity.

Levelling Up and Global Britain are two sides of the same coin. The Levelling Up agenda exists because the UK voted to leave the European Union. Brexit voters like me took a hard look at the UK’s relationship with the world, and its impact on our lives at home, and decided business as normal would not do.

This brand new publications features articles and insights from Parliamentarians as well as comment from our Chief Executive Ryan Henson. We also take a look back on 2021 as an incredibly exciting year for Global Britain on the world stage.

King Charles Street has a new occupant, one committed to helping ‘Uber riding, Air BnB'ing, Deliveroo eating, Freedom Fighters get on in life.’ A champion of capitalism, Liz Truss is now in pole position to put the values and economics that have lifted more people out of poverty across the globe than any other system in the history of mankind, at the heart of British international development policy.

Ryan Henson, CEO spoke on GB News about UK Aid and how the UK can remain a force for good on the world stage.
