https://t.co/wKSCYZTpar once again the @UN #Decolonisation Committee fail to uphold the basic fundamental #humanright for our people of the #Falklands. How long can they support #Argentina campaigning to turn us into a #colony of theirs against our peoples wishes.

Falkland Islanders โ Michael, Emmaleigh and Nick โ are at the @UN to advocate for their right of self-determination. In 2013, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders voted to remain British. Their choice should be respected. The UK will always defend their right to decide their destiny.

The US claim that the #Falklands impose an 82% tariff may come from dividing the trade deficit ($18.7m) by Falklands exports to the US ($22.8m). But thatโs not how tariffs workโtrade deficits โ tariff rates. This method is misleading. #tariffs #trade

Happy #Falklands Day! In 1592 Captain John Davis made the first recorded sighting of #Falklands on his ship the Desire. We are a growing, diverse and resilient community that has prospered over time thanks to the generations of people who have made these islands their home.

Thank you to Armed Forces Minister, @LukePollard, for this strong message in support of Falkland Islanders' right to self-determination and the defence of the Islands. We are incredibly grateful to those who liberated the Islands in 1982, and those who guard our security today.

There are historic links between the Falkland Islands and Scotland. It was a pleasure to visit @UKGovScotland, to meet with @ScotSecofState, @IanMurrayMP. Great discussion on trade, tourism, economy, and the modern relationship that we are proud to enjoy with Scotland. ๐ซ๐ฐ๐ค๐ป๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

Today I laid a wreath on behalf of the UK Government at the Falkland Islands Remembrance service to remember those who never came back from war and those who returned forever changed. We will remember them.
