As Foreign Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, I helped rebuild Britain’s relationships with our European allies after the catastrophic Brexit years, stood steadfastly with Ukraine in its darkest hours, championed a new partnership of equals with the Global South and was proud to play a leading role in Britain’s recognition of the State of Palestine."I worked to secure the Special Relationship with the United States in a new era and deepened our partnerships with the Gulf and India to deliver trade, growth and security for the British people.

In 2017, I set up a group that played a significant role in exposing and driving out the anti-Jewish racists who’d occupied our party and led it to being found institutionally racist. I was proud to be part of the team that then turned the party around under Keir’s leadership and took us forward to a landslide election victory.”Mr Reed went on to list some of his achievements within Government as environment secretary and later housing secretary, before issuing what appeared to be a warning to the incoming Prime Minister about his devolution plans.He said: “You can’t make funding fairer for the rest of England by making it unfair on Londoners. I’m proud to be a London MP and I’ll always fight to ensure London is treated fairly as you explore new models of devolution, taxation and funding.”‌
