At the UN in New York, I attended informal talks with all parties to work towards progress which benefits all Cypriots. As a guarantor power, the UK is committed to @UN process on settlement. I welcome commitment from all sides to continue discussions & work with envoy Holguín.
The horror in Gaza must end. We're stepping up our humanitarian efforts with new healthcare, food and water for Gazans. We need an immediate ceasefire now, the release of all hostages and a surge in aid.
The UK & EU are turning the screw on the Kremlin’s war chest by stemming the most valuable funding stream of its illegal war. This step will target Russia’s oil revenues & ramp up the pressure on Putin by exploiting his biggest vulnerability while keeping energy markets stable.
The UK and our allies are striking at the heart of Russia's energy sector by lowering the Oil Price Cap. This will directly hit Putin's most critical revenue stream and drain his war chest. We will keep up economic pressure as we stand by Ukraine. gov.uk/government/new…
🚨🎥 WATCH: The Government has announced its first "sanctions regime" targeting those behind the small boat crossings It means anyone involved could have their assets frozen and be banned from entering the UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy announces the changes
I said we’d put people smuggling gangs out of business — I meant it. From tomorrow, we’ll have new powers to freeze their assets, shut them off from the UK financial system, and ban them from travelling to Britain. Secure borders are a foundation of our Plan for Change.
This is my message to people smugglers: there is nowhere to hide. We’re coming for your profits. We’re going to freeze your assets. And we will do everything in our power to put you out of business.
Labour is in Parliament announcing plans to clean up Britain’s waterways and protect consumers. Nigel Farage's Reform haven't even bothered to show up.
Putin has built a war economy utterly dependent on his oil revenues - and the increasingly desperate gambles he's taking to cling on to them. Working with others, we will continue to choke off this war chest. x.com/FCDOGovUK/stat…
🚨 NEW SANCTIONS hammering Russia’s energy sector and further cracking down on shadow fleet operations. Every blow we strike against Russia’s oil revenues is another step towards a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, and a safer UK.
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We need an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages and a full resumption of aid. gov.uk/government/new…
Last night, the #Falklands community wished farewell to HE Alison Blake CMG & Col. Pete. On behalf of @FIAssembly, MLA Pollard said “You’ve carried out the role with clarity, purpose & grace. You’ve always been a tireless advocate for our right of self-determination - thank you”

Combatting Russia's threat to the UK and our allies is at the core of this government's work to protect the British people. By exposing the sinister activities of Putin's spies, and sanctioning those responsible, we are defending our security. 🇬🇧 x.com/FCDOGovUK/stat…
Russian military intelligence routinely uses cyber and information operations to sow chaos, division and disorder in Ukraine and across the world. Today, the UK is exposing this activity and sanctioning those responsible ⬇️

All my thoughts are with the parents and loved ones whose children were involved in the school coach crash in Somerset. It is heartbreaking to learn that a child has sadly died. Thank you to all the emergency services working to respond to this awful tragedy.
Never lose sight of the war in Ukraine. Never lose sight of Putin’s brutal, illegal invasion. 🧵Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP updates on UK support to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Absolutely right that 16 and 17 year olds should be allowed to vote in elections. They are part of our present as well as our future.
"This is a historic day for German-British relations" – @bundeskanzler. Germany and the UK have signed a landmark friendship treaty at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Side by side, we're working with Germany to crush the people smuggling gangs and boost our defence exports. Today we've signed a first of its kind agreement to deliver security, growth, and jobs for working people.
Great news that e-gates will be opened in stages for UK travellers to Germany! Prost 🇩🇪 mirror.co.uk/travel/europe/…
