The UK stands for freedom – and that means freedom of all. The strongest, safest & most prosperous societies are those that are open, inclusive & diverse.
On the eve of @budapestpride & @DublinPride, proud to join many of my fellow Ambassadors here in Hungary in affirming our solidarity with this great nation’s LGBTQ community - and the right to free assembly here & elsewhere.
Like others across Europe I am hugely alarmed 🇭🇺 authorities have declared @BudapestPride illegal.
Implying that LGBT+ people are threat to children has no place in society.
Last week I urged 🇭🇺 Dep Foreign Minister in person to allow Pride to go ahead, free of fear & sanction.
A just and lasting peace for Ukraine is vital — for the people of Ukraine, for Britain, and for Europe as a whole. That is why we are so determined to deliver it.

Today on #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the 6 million Jewish people and all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. Their stories remind us why we must all stand against hatred and ensure such atrocities are never repeated. #NeverAgain

During the meeting with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, we discussed the implementation of the Victory Plan and support for our defense industry.
An important element of the Victory Plan is providing Ukraine with long-range weaponry and granting permission to use it against military targets on Russian territory.
I am grateful to Keir Starmer and the entire British people for standing with us during this challenging time. We take great pride in the strong bilateral relations between our nations.
Great catching up with @Keir_Starmer today.
We are united in tackling global challenges, starting with our unwavering support to Ukraine.
The strength of our historical bond makes us great partners for the future.
