In the lecture I offer some suggestions as to how governments, civil society and indeed all of us concerned to build a better future should respond. I’ll post a copy of the speech on Linkedin for those interested.

I spoke about how the post 1945 rules-based order is under unprecedented strain at the very time international cooperation is needed most. We need values based international cooperation to deal with the immense challenges of our time, such as climate change, AI and pandemics.

After a relaxing summer it’s great to be back talking about the issues I am most passionate about. It was a pleasure to be asked to deliver the Singapore Attorney General’s Biennale lecture last week.

It has been the privilege of my life to serve my country as Attorney General over the last two years. I’ve been so lucky to be a part of Keir’s team, as he delivered for the public at home while rebuilding the UK’s reputation abroad, in particular on the rule of law.

This Labour government has done some remarkable things. In just two years, under Keir, we have ended austerity, with record investment in public services. We have ensured the NHS is on track to cut waiting times at the fastest rate in its history. (1/2)

Because of Keir Starmer's leadership, the UK is once again the centre of gravity internationally. That is of massive benefit to the British people. I spoke with @adamboulton.bsky.social on Keir's legacy, defending the independence of the judiciary & why int law is in the UK's national interest.
