20 years after Mandela’s iconic speech, it was an honour to raise #MakePovertyHistory during #PMQs
I welcome the PM's response, reaffirming the UK’s commitment to ending poverty. This comes the day after an excellent event from @ONECampaign.

Nelson Mandela is hugely popular amongst the UK public. 74% of Britons view him positively.
He ranked joint-first with Martin Luther King, Jr. in favourability among 20th and 21st century leaders, ahead of Churchill, Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Gandhi

Climate change is making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three.
We must adapt water management so that people and ecosystems can survive and thrive in a changing world.

ALT A boy, Kicquer, walks on bricks near his flooded home. He is dressed in all black white white socks and sandals. His quote reads: "The floods really affected my education. I had just bought a pack of notebooks and a school bag, but all my materials went with the water. I didn't study for three months."
