I am honoured to be appointed a Minister in the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office I will support the Government’s mission to reconnect Britain around the world to deliver economic growth, climate action, and equality. 🇬🇧

And it was great to be there.

#NEDENG hard to feel bad about that goal. It was a fantastic shot 😡

The drama of #NEDENG match - can’t take your eyes off the game for a second 🫣😱

Yeeeeeeesssssss 2-1 #NEDENG #EURO2024 England in the final!!!!!!

“The Emperor is at his most dangerous when he is being nice to you”. Brilliant discussion with Mary Beard about her latest book Emperor of Rome which is going straight on to my Xmas list The British Academy #summershowcase

Here we go #EURO2024 #Spain_England #EnglandSpain 😬😬

It’s time to reset our relationship with Europe. #EPC2024

I won't allow Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers, and the dirty money it generates, to flow freely through European waters and put our security at risk. Ukraine is, and always will be, at the heart of my government’s agenda.

I dunno Lime this looks less like a cool way to get around town and more like…litter

Walked past this cafe by chance. I was never not going to go inside for 🇺🇦 coffee and cake!

Many congratulations Kaimo Kuusk 🇬🇧🇪🇪🇺🇦

A trip to Amsterdam turned into an encounter with 🇺🇦

Oleg Verniaev 🇺🇦 is smashing it in the #Paris2024Olympic men’s gymnastics. Which is really something for an athlete whose country is under fire.

Never underestimate a Ukrainian 🇺🇦 woman #Paris2024

The exercise book I grabbed to use for my language training. It’s not Ukrainian that I’m learning this time. But old habits die hard.

My local area, where a racist gathering was planned yesterday, looks calm and normal this morning. Cafes and shops opening as usual as people head to work. Nothing of any interest to see at all. But perhaps that is what unbowed looks like. It is def what community looks like.

In The Eye of the storm is a beautifully curated exhibition of 🇺🇦 art from the early 1900s to 1940s. A great portrayal of the distinctive contribution of 🇺🇦 artists at that time. Really worth a visit to Royal Academy of Arts to see it.

Thought of my 🇺🇦 friends during today’s bombardments from 🇷🇺. “Retaliation for Kursk”? Give me a break. 🇷🇺 has been bombing 🇺🇦 unprovoked for 2 and a half years.

My social media “memories’ regularly include memorials of 🇺🇦 people who lost their lives in 🇺🇦 - bombed in their homes, while fleeing, or captured and killed. It’s one year this week since I left Kyiv. But those memorials will last a lot longer.
