The UK’s promise at @COP26 to support South Africa’s #JustEnergyTransition is a vital part of protecting our planet from climate change.
Pleased to be back in South Africa today & keeping this and other important work going.
Many congratulations @AliciaH_1 - your work has helped make sure millions of girls around the world get a quality education. 👏👏
More to do, and I know you are up for doing it!
RT @AliciaH_1: Special moment at Holyrood Palace when I received my #OBE from Princess Anne for services to @FCDOGovUK.
Immensely grateful for the support of family, friends and colleagues over the years.
RT @tariqahmadbt: The situation in Sri Lanka is alarming. The political & economic challenges will not be solved by violence. Peaceful protests must be protected & all those on the streets as well as security & police forces must show restraint. By working together solutions can be found.
RT @sumuvuori: It was such a pleasure to visit 🇬🇧@HouseofCommons when Minister @vickyford gave the Ministerial Statement to support the fast-track of ratification of Finland & Sweden to become members of @NATO. Thank you so much for your support and good bilateral discussions in Westminster.
Today in @houseofcommons I have been giving the Ministerial Statement to support the fast-track of ratification of Finland & Sweden to become members of @NATO. This is vital for peace and our security. Standing together against Russian aggression.
RT @trussliz: Important moment signing the instrument of ratification to fast-track @NATO membership for Finland & Sweden 🇫🇮🇸🇪. It will now go to Washington to come into force.
Russian…
Good to be back in the EP meeting many former colleagues.
As a former chair of @EP_SingleMarket I know how important protecting EU single market is. I believe that the UK “red lane/green lane” proposals do this & also protect Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. #EPlenary
At #EPlenary to discuss solutions to Northern Ireland Protocol.
Vital to protect Belfast Good Friday Agreement & peace & stability in NI - and our proposals also protect EU #SingleMarket
UK wants negotiated solution, but changes are necessary.
RT @KeepBritainTidy: This month is #PlasticFreeJuly.
If we all make small, everyday changes, like using reusable coffee cups, water bottles, and shopping bags, we can make a big difference on the issue of plastic pollution.
Thank you so much Nurse Tyrrell for all you have done for so many years. I hear you have worked in the NHS all over Essex from Southend to Basildon, Rochford & Canvey Island - and I understand a spell in Australia too!
RT @jajtyrrell: My Mother has just retired after nearly 50 years public service as a Nurse. She’s not on social media, but I couldn’t let the occasion pass without saying thank you for your service and dedication. Yo…
RT @UKinSudan: #مليونية30يونيو
We are appalled by the loss of life in yesterday’s protests. Our deep condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones. We call for full and transparent investigations into all the killings since 25th of October. Impunity must stop👇
Day one of #PlasticFreeJuly - thank you to Sandwich Plus in Chelmsford for this yummy coronation chicken on granary in a paper bag.
RT @BorisJohnson: 25 years ago we made a promise to the people of Hong Kong.
We intend to keep it.
A day to be a very proud parent 🎓

Awesome to meet legendary #Niger designer Alphadi, he has alsoworked with 🇬🇧 Embassy in Niamey to support empowerment of women.

At #CHOGM22 the UK announced we will invest > £370m in global food security this year to support the worlds poorest people #foodisnotaweapon #UnitingForFoodSecurity
In Berlin at #unitingforfoodsecurity conference.
Russia’s illegal war has turned a storm of hunger into a hurricane.
There are no western sanctions against food & fertiliser to vulnerable countries.
Russian blockades stop Ukraine’s wheat feeding the world.
RT @trussliz: Food should never be used as a weapon of war.
RT @trussliz: Putin is weaponising hunger. He is using food security as a callous tool of war.
Talked about steps to get grain out of Ukraine with Turkish Foreign Minister @MevlutCavusoglu.
Vital these are implemented in the next month.🇬🇧🇹🇷🇺🇦
