Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory! ⚽️ #WEURO2025
WE NEVER GIVE UP. WE ARE #WEURO2025 FINALISTS.
What a performance, @Lionesses! Into the final and inspiring the nation Let’s bring it home.
And now I am really sad not to be in Geneva - what a match! Fabulous comeback @Lionesses 🏴
WE'RE IN THE #WEURO2025 FINAL! 🙌
Great podcast by @ImogenFoulkes with the one and only @DapoAkandeLaw Chichele Professor of Public International Law at @UniofOxford (and 🇬🇧 candidate for the ICJ…).

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…
I welcome the deal agreed between the DRC government and AFC/M23 yesterday in Doha. This marks a significant step towards peace in eastern Congo. I am grateful to Qatari mediators, who made this agreement possible.
And what diplodog 🐕🇬🇧would not? Bonne route and good luck to you both.
Starting to feel real now @SimonManleyFCDO. Ellie the DiploDog starting to get excited about her new life in Geneva
Russian spies are trying to destabilise Europe, undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and threaten the safety of British citizens. Today we are exposing this activity and sanctioning those responsible. Protecting the UK from harm is fundamental to this government’s Plan for Change.
Ahmad was in a critical condition after an airstrike in Gaza. At a UK-Med field hospital, he's now had life-saving surgery and physiotherapy. With support from UK government funding, @UKMed is delivering vital healthcare to Gazans and has provided over 500,000 consultations.
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…
Deeply concerned by the Israeli Civil Administration’s plan to revive the E1 settlement programme. If implemented, this would critically undermine a future Palestinian state and the path to a two-state solution - crushing the hopes of millions who wish for peace.
I welcome the news that the Government of DRC, through Qatari mediation, have agreed a Declaration of Principles with Alliance Fleuve Congo/M23. This is an important step towards peace.
Horrified by the violence in Southern Syria. A sustainable ceasefire is vital. I spoke to Syrian Foreign Minister @AsaadHshaibani yesterday as part of UK efforts to urge a peaceful resolution. We want to see the fighting ended, civilians protected and humanitarian access…
A final farewell message - with thanks to the current generation of inspirational leaders of multilateral Geneva, my diplomatic colleagues across the city for their collaboration, cooperation and commitment, and of course my team at @UKMissionGeneva 🇬🇧🇺🇳
🚨 SANCTIONED: three GRU units and 18 of their military intelligence officers responsible for spreading chaos and disorder on Putin’s orders.
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 ⬇️
Geneva, you are spoiling us A final sunrise concert 🎶 Such happy memories of this place We will be back

What a game ! Congratulations to the @Lionesses on a fantastic result. On to the Semi-Final. Well played @svenskfotboll Exceptional commitment from both teams. @WEURO2025
