This is a few days old but is worth an X Tweet as it shows the close cooperation between Mount Pleasant and my old mob - the #Falkland Islands Defence Force - and long may it continue π«π° https://t.co/RJrIwUKeCK
41 years ago, today. The Falkland Islands were liberated.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
I am forever grateful. π«π°π¬π§ π¬π§π«π°
Here we go... The mask has slipped. Argentine President Fernandez has just announced his intention to militarise Antarctica with the installation of military forces at Marambio and Petrel bases, in violation of the Antarctic Treaty. It was always about Antarctica for Argentina...
On the 10th anniversary of our referendum, Falkland Islanders appreciate the ongoing commitment of the UK Government. Thank you, Foreign Secretary, for a positive & conversation, reaffirming support for our right to self-determination. #FalklandIslands#falklandislandsgovernment
10 years ago the Falkland Islands voted overwhelmingly to remain a British Overseas Territory.
This unique community has achieved so much, from protecting the environment π§ to education π
We will always support their right to choose their own future.

The Falkland Islands are British.
10 years ago, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders who voted said they wanted to stay a part of the UK family.

Our commitment to the Falklands is unwavering.
A disappointing decision after my constructive visit to Buenos Aires.
Β
Argentina has chosen to step away from an agreement that has brought comfort to the families of those who died in the 1982 conflict.
Β
Argentina, the UK and the Falklands all benefited from this agreement.
The Falkland Islands are British.
Islanders have the right to decide their own future - they have chosen to remain a self-governing UK Overseas Territory.
Deeply disappointing moves by Argentina this week.
The #FalklandIslands are British.
That is the decision of their people - and it is a decision that @uklabour supports 100%.
I was proud to visit last year.
