My thoughts are with all those affected by the senseless Russian strikes on Kyiv which have damaged the British Council building. Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace. This bloodshed must end.

The 🇬🇧 flag flies half-mast in Baku in respect of Pope Francis. His last “Urbi et Orbi” speech epitomised his tireless desire for peace, including between Azerbaijan and Armenia. I hope+pray that we continue to be inspired by his legacy for a world without war and injustice.

People getting upset about seeing drag at Burns Night 😮💨 Burns was far from conservative and conventional- instead he celebrated authenticity and freedom. He was progressive and at times pretty radical himself (for his time). Historical rebranding has downplayed this side of him
Wishing Scots in the UK and around the world a very Happy Burns Night. Earlier this week in Downing Street we celebrated Scotland and honoured the life and legacy of Robert Burns.

In the region 🇦🇿 finds itself it’s a strong signal for these two leaders to meet. As UK prime minister @Keir_Starmer said “Putin’s ambition to wrench Ukraine away from its closest partners has been a monumental strategic failure”. It’s vital support continues.
During a meeting with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev @presidentaz, I once again expressed my condolences regarding the crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane and the loss of lives. The evidence from the crash site is clear, and it is essential to pressure Russia to compel
