In Polish Senate to mark 3rd anniversary of Russian invasion of Ukraine. At a time when our key alliances are under strain, uncompromising support for Ukraine from Deputy PM @KosiniakKamysz & others really matters. #Ukraine #MSZ #MON #CommunityofDemocracies
A lovely autumn day for a walk in Warsaw, which is a greener city than many people think. After 15,000 steps, I think I earned my brunch at Warsaw’s Sunday breakfast fair in the Mokotów district. #Warszawa #walking #breakfast
Budapest is a favourite city of mine, even in a heatwave. The St Stephen’s Day fireworks were spectacular, the Hungarian dishes still delicious & Budapest‘s own Opera gin an unexpected treat. And the history speaks for itself! #summerholidays #Budapest
Such a privilege to be at the Warsaw Uprising Museum for an 80th anniversary event marking the extraordinary heroism of the AK insurgents & to talk to a few of the last survivors. #WarsawUprising #ArmiaKrajowa #SiłyAK #museumpowstaniewarszawskiego
Shocked to hear of Tommie Gorman’s untimely draft. He was a remarkable journalist with a deep understanding of Northern Ireland, as well as a lovely man. I learnt so much from him. RIP Tommie.
Great to be back in Istanbul enjoying its rich history & culture, as well as the vibrant street life. A timely reminder too for me of the strategic significance of the Bosphorus. #Turkey #Bosphorus #Istanbul
A few days in London reminded me of things I miss: the infectious buzz of a global city, a boat ride on the Thames, Chinatown, fish & chips with malt vinegar, and pubs with real draught ales, not to mention a full English breakfast. #London @londonpubs – at London, England
Good to speak at the Warsaw launch of volume 3 of @CharlesMooreUK biography of Margaret Thatcher po polsku. Her role in ending the Cold War matters a lot here but the panel discussed whether her brand of economic liberalism has a future. #economics #freedom – at Warsaw, Poland
We shall remember them. An honour to attend Warsaw’s UK & Commonwealth Service of Remembrance. It is fittingly held at the RAF Liberator memorial stone commemorating the brave pilots who gave their lives trying to supply the Warsaw Uprising. #RemembanceDay – at Warsaw, Poland
#11listopada a day to celebrate Poland’s hard won independence & to enjoy a great atmosphere, ceremony, music & bigos (hunter’s stew) here in Warsaw. Niech żyje Polska. 🇵🇱#Poland #Polska – at Warsaw, Poland
Naprawdę bardzo zasłużony zaszczyt dla wyjątkowego Dyrektora @MuzeumAuschwitz Gratulacje. – at Warsaw, Poland
Nadzwyczajne osiągnięcia Piotra Cywińskiego jako Dyrektora @MuzeumAuschwitz zostały dziś docenione odznaczeniem OBE (Oficera Orderu Imperium Brytyjskiego) w imieniu JKM Króla Karola III. Miałam zaszczyt wręczać tę nagrodę wraz z Pełnomocnikiem Premiera ds. Holokaustu @EricPickles
Discussing NATO’s eastern flank with @BartosiakJacek @BeataGWinter & others. Among key issues: sustaining support for Ukraine, need for agile European NATO forces to respond to threats & strategic role of Baltic Sea region & Romania. #NATO
So sad that Sir Bobby Charlton, a hugely talented European & World Cup winner has died. He was a true gentleman who my Dad took me to watch for the first time in 1965 & I later met. It’s the end of an era. May he RIP. #ManchesterUnited @EnglandFootball – at Warsaw, Poland
Sadly, the Swiss golden autumn is almost certainly an effect of climate change but there’s no question it also made for a glorious few days around Lake Geneva. #LakeGeneva #UNFCC #Vaud – at Geneva, Switzerland
