An honour to meet Prime Minister @narendramodi. The UK and India share a unique living bridge that enriches both our countries. We are working together to accelerate climate action while creating opportunities for British and Indian businesses.
A pleasure to meet UK FS @DavidLammy. Appreciate the priority accorded by PM @Keir_Starmer to broaden and deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Remain committed to elevating the ties. Welcome the bilateral Technology Security Initiative and the desire to conclude a mutually beneficial FTA.

Welcome @DavidLammy on his first visit to India as UK Foreign Secretary. Looking forward to our conversation. 🇮🇳 🇬🇧

Thank you @David_Cameron not only for your kind words, but for treating the democratic transition with bipartisan spirit and grace. This government will continue the UK’s leadership on Ukraine and our ironclad commitment to Ukraine’s security.
Congratulations @DavidLammy on your appointment as Foreign Secretary. At a time when the world is more dangerous, more volatile, more confrontational, than most of us have ever known, your new role is more important than ever. The @FCDOGovUK is full of great talent and experience that exemplifies the very best of the British civil service. I know they will serve you as well as they have served me. I will be willing you on as you get to work, standing up for Britain’s interests, and wish you well.

Lots of respect for Sunak & Starmer for their words today. Feeling proud to live in a country where power can be handed over so peacefully, respectfully & graciously. The speed is also breathtaking. This morning Sunak was still PM - 1.5hrs ago I stood to 'clap in' my new boss 🇬🇧

Do you ever feel that older cities are just more interesting than new ones? Well, it isn't just because they're old. It's because of something called "vernacular architecture"...

The suggestion from Raab and others that this happened because some civil servants don’t like Brexit is pretty breathtaking. The people who made Brexit happen were countless officials who were asked to deliver an unpicking 50 years worth of political and commercial relationships.

👏👏👏👏
Russia in the UN Security Council meeting accused the West of Russophobia. The UK had a brilliant strategy - they turned the tables on Russia and accused the Kremlin of ruining the reputation of Russia. @ferguseckersley spoke in Russian. This is really good. 🇬🇧👏

I’ve just had of those train journeys you’re never going to forget The guy next to us starts talking. He says he wants to say something - and that we are free to ignore him after he finishes. Naturally people sitting around stare awkwardly at the floor, pretending not to hear
