The coronavirus pandemic has placed significant strain on already-weak healthcare systems in developing countries, putting millions of lives at risk both at home and abroad.

In his foreword to the Integrated Review, the Prime Minister said the UK will remain a world leader in international development, and that we will return to our commitment to spend 0.7% of gross national income on development when the fiscal situation allows. It was right for this promise to feature prominently in a document with security and resilience at its heart.

Coalition for Global Prosperity CEO Ryan Henson responds to the publication of the UK Government’s Integrated Review.

The G7, NATO and COP are all incredibly important groups and institutions. Of this there is no doubt.

The poll, conducted towards the end of 2020, looked at attitudes towards Global Britain and the UK’s place on the world stage. CGP spoke to voters in parts of the North of England that make up the “Red Wall'“ constituencies who voted Conservative in 2019 but voted for other parties in the 2017 General Election.

Red Wall voters reshaped British politics in 2019 and who they vote for in 2024 will largely decide who wins the next election. Ensuring public policy is adjusted to account for this powerful new group understandably occupies the thoughts of Westminster decision makers.
