An early start, last week, when we arrived into Darwin, Australia 🇦🇺

Stopping for a visit during our long patrol across the South Pacific 🌏

Time in Australia is always incredible & our partnership with the @Australian_Navy is invaluable 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺

[Christina Scott @CScottFCDO]

Sitting in as 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 and 🇬🇧 Foreign Ministers have their discussions an immense privilege.

Our countries and our Ministerial bosses: vital allies, close colleagues, and supportive friends.

Tomorrow a 62 round gun salute will be fired at the Tower of London to mark HM The King's Official Birthday 👑

The salute will be fired at 1pm by the Honourable Artillery Company on the Gun Park, located on Tower Wharf facing the River Thames.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.

I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Australia, Britain and Canada are the best of partners, and our alliance is more vital than ever today, built on strong relationships and shared values. I'm glad to welcome my friends @SenatorWong & @AnitaAnandMP to the UK for our latest ABC dialogue today.

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

The UK and Australia share a special bond stemming from our shared beliefs that resonate across generations of shared history. 🇬🇧🤝🇦🇺

In London today the Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP and the Foreign Secretary @YvetteCooperMP met with their counterparts for the annual AUKMIN summit.

From joint operations in the Indo-Pacific, sharing vital intelligence, developing innovative technology and the AUKUS submarine programme, our armed forces work together for global security and driving growth in both our nations.

@erinotoole I couldn't imagine any sensible rationality to reduce the F35A order for Gripens when like nations such as the UK, US, Australia have already invested into 5th/6th gen aircraft and wingman such as the Ghostbat, Singray, Valkyrie or GCAP Tempest, F-47 and F/A XX.

[Commonwealth Network @Commonwealth_NW]

@erinotoole Whilst 4.5th generation air superiority fighters would still play a massive role in modern and likely future warfare, it's role pales in comparison to 5th generation and 6th generation aircraft. It simply can't compete, it simply can't perform the roles required.

Proud to welcome HMCS William Hall – Canada’s 4th Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ship, commissioned in 2024 – to the Thames, where she’s moored alongside HMS Belfast until June 7. ⚓

[Councillor Tracy Kelly @Tracybelfast1]

The handover is very daunting moment and you feel huge pressure taking in such an important role in our wonderful City!

I handed over the chain and I wished Rois-Maire well and good luck!❤️

Other LM’s will agree it’s a nerve wracking night a little reassurance means a lot!

Euro-Atlantic security and Indo-Pacific security are indivisible.

This weekend the Defence Secretary @JohnHealey_MP has been meeting partners from across the Indo-Pacific, as part of the Shangri-La Dialogue.

Together, we are working to ensure the stability of this vital region.

Happy UK Overseas Territories Day! Celebrated each year on the first Monday in June this day is a wonderful opportunity to take pride in the extraordinary diversity of the Overseas Territories. #TristandaCunha

As the longest serving State Governor, the Governor of Queensland is serving as the Administrator of the Commonwealth while the Governor-General is absent between 30th May to 3rd June. That means that the standard of the Governor-General is presently flying at Fernberg.

Do you think a new Canada, Australia, New Zealand and UK alliance would be a good idea?

The CANZUK idea has been around for awhile this is what it would look like by the numbers.

According to CANZUK International (who promote the idea) It has the following support levels:

New Zealand - 82%
Canada - 76%
Australia - 73%
UK - 68%

Do you think it's an idea who's time has come?
