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.

Progress is possible if we believe.

South Africans today commemorate 35 years since Nelson Mandela walked out of prison. Here in London today, we'll also mark 20 years since his historic speech in Trafalgar Square, when he called on 'a generation to be great' #Mandela20 is underway...

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.

This mirrors my husband's experience in hospital. It is so frustrating when a sudden stop in medication on admission into hospital can cause various problems including hallucinations and confusion.

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

"My everyday care out of hospital is superb...that seemed to stop at the hospital door."

Hear how Margot's, and her daughter Vicky's, lives were impacted when a lack of communication from hospital staff meant that she couldn't self administer her Parkinson's medication.

[WaterAid @wateraid]

One more time for the people in the back: clean water is a basic 👏human 👏 right 👏

Despite this universal truth, almost 1 in 10 people still don't have clean water close to home.

“The water that we extract from nature for various uses must be managed as a common good, a shared good that must be accessible to all, but not appropriated by anyone,” says Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation.

❗The climate crisis is a water crisis❗

People experience #ClimateChange through too much or too little water – floods and droughts – and the impacts are devastating.

Decision makers at #COP29 must take urgent action to solve these dual crises.
