The Global Disability Summit has just concluded in Berlin. It was a vibrant affair, packed full of organisations of persons with disabilities, governments, academics and innovators. The UK's delegation was led by Sir Stephen Timms, Minister for Social Security and Disability.

That’s the Equal Rights Coalition in Berlin wrapped up. A heartening coming together of over 45 member states and 200+ CSOs. But we are running headlong towards a precipice of funding cuts for organisations on the front line, as rights for LGBT+ people are under extreme and ever-increasing threat.

Important to be part of this delegation demonstrating UK commitment to protect LGBT+ rights at this worrying moment in time. It’s great to have our delegation led by Dame Andrea Eagle, a long standing champion.

Two very committed Ministers (for the price of one!) kick started 16 days of Activism to End Violence Against Women - Home Office Minister @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and FCDO International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds. A small snippet of a much greater effort both at home and overseas.

Like many, off X and trying this.. Let’s start with a couple of pictures from my visit to the Alhambra last week. Magical creative mindset of the Moors back in the 13th century.
