Ahead of any sanctions being imposed on #Russia we must address the loophole in how 🇷🇺 gets its currency. Next year the IMF’s SDR prog. could go from $650bn to $2tn. Last year @RepFrenchHill & I wrote on how the SDR helps fund rouge states & urged leaders to address this issue. https://t.co/XTn9jqzAUK — PolitiTweet.org

14 years today the world 🌎 lost one of its finest to a callous act of terrorism. MBB Benazir Bhutto paid the ultimate price for fighting for democracy and empowering all in society. It was a privilege and an honour to be part of her team 1999-2007, that worked on this. https://t.co/GvX235QDB7 — PolitiTweet.org

Having previously questioned social media companies back in 2017 as member of Home Affairs Select Committee on their failure to take down hate content - which can feed into extreme views & ultimately violent extremism - I believe Gov’t now needs to take decisive action on this https://t.co/iyOX1YL0z9 — PolitiTweet.org
