My message to those responsible for the recent armed robberies in BVI: you will be found and brought to justice.

Today we remember all those killed in the 9/11 attacks, including 67 British nationals.
25 years on, the UK stands with the United States in remembrance, solidarity and shared resolve.
We will never forget.

Protecting the viability of a two-state solution is the right thing to do.

[Uma Kumaran MP @Uma_Kumaran]

An honour to be given responsibility for my new Ministerial brief, covering: the Caribbean, the Overseas Territories, global tech and AI, and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

I look forward to working with global partners on our shared interests - from action on the climate crisis in the Caribbean, to tackling VAWG, to unlocking the shared opportunities of the AI revolution.

It's the honour of my life to be serving my country alongside our fantastic team in @FCDOGovUK.

I will always stand up for Britain’s interests, relationships and values abroad 🇬🇧

My statement on Iran.

We will never forget the sacrifices of those who served in Afghanistan.

Our position on Greenland is very clear – it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes.

We have also made clear that Arctic Security matters for the whole of NATO and allies should all do more together to address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.

Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be pursuing this directly with the US administration.

The Venezuelan people have long suffered at the hands of Nicolas Maduro's fraudulent regime.

The UK wants to see a peaceful transition to a legitimate government reflecting the will of the Venezuelan people.

We reaffirm our commitment to international law and the UN Charter.

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

The international community must come together to help achieve a peaceful transition to a democratic government in Venezuela, that respects the rights and will of its people, in line with international law.

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

.@YvetteCooperMP today talking to the FCDO staff working on the UK's response to the situation in Venezuela, including providing consular support to any British nationals requiring help or advice.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The UK has long supported a transition of power in Venezuela. We regarded Maduro as an illegitimate President and we shed no tears about the end of his regime.

I reiterated my support for international law this morning. The UK government will discuss the evolving situation with US counterparts in the days ahead as we seek a safe and peaceful transition to a legitimate government that reflects the will of the Venezuelan people.

Congratulations to all those who have been recognised in His Majesty The King’s New Year 2026 Overseas and International Honours list.

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

“Journeying is a constant theme of the Christmas Story. The Holy Family made a journey to Bethlehem and arrived homeless without proper shelter. The Wise Men made a pilgrimage from the East to worship at the cradle of Christ; and the Shepherds journeyed from field to town in search of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In each case, they journeyed with others; and relied on the companionship and kindness of others.”

In this year’s Christmas Broadcast or ‘King’s Speech’, His Majesty reflects on the theme of the journey, in religious life and more broadly. You can now watch in full on:

- The Royal Family Channel on YouTube.

- @BBCNews, @ITV and @SkyUK in the UK.

- If you live outside the UK, check your national broadcaster’s schedule.

A message from The King to the people of Jamaica and all those across the Caribbean affected by Hurricane Melissa.

I welcome the news that a deal has been reached on the first stage of President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall.

The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.
