Congratulations to @LulaOficial on his re-election. Together, our two governments have promoted shared values of democracy, social justice and climate action since 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so. His victory is a historic win for the global progressive movement.

We welcome @MariaCorinaYA's return to Venezuela. It is another encouraging sign of the progress being made towards a more open and democratic future. The UK will continue to support an inclusive political process that delivers free and fair elections for all Venezuelans.

81 years ago, the @UN Charter came into force, with international law at its core. The UK believes international law must apply equally and fairly to all. That’s why we back @DapoAkandeLaw for the @CIJ_ICJ: an exceptional, independent lawyer who shares those values.

Conflict. Climate change. Migration. Economic shocks. New technologies. No country can tackle the biggest challenges facing our world alone. When the challenges are shared, the solutions have to be shared too. #UNDay

My X anniversary. 13 years since I was preparing to head to @ukinspain in my first post as ambassador. I would celebrate with a beautiful autumnal shot from my morning run 🏃‍♂️ but it's pouring down ☔️ in London so here's one from yesterday morning with thanks to all my followers

A pleasure to speak to the UN diplomatic community about the role of @CIJ_ICJ in peacefully resolving disputes and upholding human rights. If elected to serve, I will draw on my global experience to strengthen the rule of law.
UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳

Outstanding legal expertise. Global experience. Independence. Integrity. Professor @DapoAkandeLaw would be a powerful champion for the rule of law and justice for all. The UK is proud to support his election as a judge of the International Court of Justice.

My statement on the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender ⬇️
STATEMENT ON E1 SETTLEMENT EXPANSION 19 October 2026 The decision by the Israeli Government to open tenders for settlements in E1 is a direct threat to the prospect of a two-state solution and has been widely condemned by the international community. Today is the deadline for bids for the E1 settlement tender. I want to be very clear with those considering engaging in the tendering process: we have created new powers allowing us to sanction individuals and companies involved in the construction of illegal settlements such as E1. We urge businesses and individuals not to proceed with bids for E1 construction tenders. They should be aware of legal and reputational consequences, including the risk of involving themselves in serious breaches of international law. FULL STATEMENT CONTINUES ON GOV.UK

Nice to see some proper autumn 🍂 colours emerging in West London - rather than just the desiccated browns of our drought-ridden summer...
