The UK government condemns all forms of political violence in the strongest terms.  As we monitor the shocking developments in Pennsylvania, our thoughts and best wishes are with President Trump - along with every victim and their families.

I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump's rally and we send him and his family our best wishes. Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.

Absolutely delighted to announce that I’ll be moving to Boston next month to take over as British Consul General to New England. Thank you Peter Abbott OBE for all the incredible work you have done in the role over the last four years.

Congratulations David Clay - welcome to the best job in the world! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

I respect President Biden's decision and I look forward to us working together during the remainder of his presidency. I know that, as he has done throughout his remarkable career, he will have made his decision based on what he believes is best for the American people.

Next week we say goodbye to our Consul General Peter Abbott OBE 😢. Here he is with a video message to say farewell and introduce his successor David Clay. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thoroughly enjoyed talking to Jared Bowen this afternoon on GBH’s Culture Show - some great questions about the Royal Family, democracy and elections … and why I have been drinking tea on the T! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

My final official act as Consul General was to sit down this afternoon and talk to Amory Sivertson at WBUR and reflect on the last four years. Thanks Amory for a great chat! 🇬🇧🇺🇸🎙️

It was an honor, and you’ll hear our conversation early next week on Radio Boston!

Just like that, four incredible years come to an end. It has been the honour and privilege of my life to represent the UK in New England. We fly home tonight with hearts full of all the friendships and memories we made in this very beautiful, very special part of America. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

After a few weeks off to relocate back to the UK, it’s back to work tomorrow, but not before a glorious #BankHoliday walk in the South Downs near our new home in Hampshire — plus a visit to the Poet’s Stone, a memorial to one of my favourite English poets, Edward Thomas! ☀️

After ten years working overseas, I’m thrilled to be back in London, at the heart of the greatest city on earth. Some things haven’t changed (like this view!), but many of the challenges and opportunities facing the UK have. I’m excited to get stuck in! #PublicService 🇬🇧

Working together, for a safe and secure future 🇬🇧🇫🇷 Today, Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited President Emmanuel Macron in Paris where they spoke about the importance of a strong relationship between the UK and France to tackle issues such as immigration.

I am completely shocked at the horrific and senseless killing of six hostages in Gaza by Hamas. My thoughts are with their loved ones at this awful time. Hamas must release all the hostages now, and a ceasefire deal must be agreed by all sides immediately to end the suffering.

The UK and Ireland share the strongest of ties, through our close geography, shared culture and the friendships of our people. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is on his first official visit to Ireland, with a mission to reset the relationship and make sure it is delivering for the

Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022.

It’s a pleasure to welcome Secretary Antony Blinken to London. The special relationship has been cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years, but together we are committed to supercharging our alliance to bring security and growth.
