I am so so so in awe of this Chelmsford constituent - well done Cait!!!
3x🏅🏅🏅in @britishswimming
Cait has a very rare condition called PKU and has been on a long battle to get the drug she needed.
Thank you to all at @NSPKU & everyone who fought for these kids!
RT @foxcot: Gold medal number 3 for Cait at British in 800 free ⭐️⭐️⭐️
RT @BorisJohnson: I welcome today’s announcement of the @UN-brokered deal to get grain out of Ukraine via the Black Sea and end Russia’s blockade.
UK support for @ZelenskyyUA and his people is unwavering, and we’ll continue to bolster Ukrainian defences as they repel Russian aggression.
RT @FCDOGovUK: Unblocking Ukraine's ports is a vital step, but threats to food security remain as long as Putin’s war continues: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/foreign-secretary-stresses-the-need-for-full-implementation-of-important-deal-to-get-grain-out-of-ukraine
The UK is working to alleviate the food crisis, but Russia must end its disastrous war.

The wonderful Nana from my office is heading to a new role at @FCDOGovUK. She cooked me some Jollof rice today. YUMMY!
Ps Nana is from Ghana - but I’m open to trying all styles 😀
About to leave the @FCDOGovUK for the start of summer recess and head off to Chelmsford where England Women will play South Africa tonight!

More Sudanese people face catastrophic food shortages than ever before, exacerbated by political and economic crises at home. The UK, with other donors, has agreed with @WorldBank to redirect $100m immediately to @WFP to help people of Sudan

The Chelmsford work experience students particularly enjoyed seeing all the democracy in action outside Committee Room 14.
Thank you @trussliz for taking a moment to say hello on her way to vote.
Today in Westminster I have been joined by a group of Chelmsford students for work experience. They have been learning about how the @HouseofCommons works and the many things that happen in Parliament.
RT @GuyOpperman: Also inspiring to listen to our ambassadors, and in country infrastructure teams, in Africa, Vietnam, Indonesia, India and at the @FCDOGovUK
More to do but this is a win win for UK pension funds, UK 🇬🇧 influence abroad and all of us on the climate transition journey🌍#proud 3/
RT @GuyOpperman: Massive thanks to my good friend @vickyford, the Africa Minister, for her enthusiastic embrace of this project to get UK pension finance partnered up with emerging markets 2/
RT @GuyOpperman: Progress!
Great joint @DWP and @FCDOGovUK meeting today with 12 large UK based Pensions Funds, who have come together to drive forward long term investment (with sustainable returns) in the climate transition in emerging markets around the world 🌍 1/
#LuxembourgPride saw Ambassador @FleurThomasFCDO 🇬🇧 rally her fellow ambassadors to Luxembourg 🇱🇺 on the #DiplomatsForEqualities float. @RealCultureClub joined the/our ambassador in the 🇬🇧 Residence to talk LGBT+ rights, diversity and inclusion. #GREATLove knows no borders 🏳️🌈
As the @UN launches its #CAAC report, the 🇬🇧 will continue amplifying voices of young people who simply ask for the chance to go to school & right to a childhood free from fear.
These should not be big asks. 🌍 must do more to protect children in conflict

In other news I am greatly enjoying my bar of chocolate from Côte d’Ivoire which has the added benefit that - like much African chocolate - it doesn’t melt in a #heatwave. 🍫
RT @ranil: 💷 “The next election is going to be about the economy.”
🇬🇧 “Britain’s best days lie ahead.”
✅ @TrussLiz has shown what she can do on Brexit, on trade and on Ukraine. That’s why she is #TrustedToDeliver.
