In my view, all political parties in the UK should do everything they can to support the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
I’m not the last Prime Minister of the UK. I’ll be the first to rewire it to make it work properly in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and England.
Politics has become too suffocating. We need greater ambition. The country is not where it should be and nothing simple gets us out of that. We need to show a journey and a longer-term plan.
