@StevenWignall And a really well argued judgement. When I left Mauritius in 2017 a very senior official, who was close to the government, told me that things would not change on LGBT issues. I disagreed and today she was proved wrong. #therightsideofhistory
“Today’s British Jewish community is descended from refugees and/or migrants. We have significant concerns at the potential for newly proposed migration legislation to breach both the Refugee Convention and the Human Rights Act.”
To mark the final day of #LGBTplusHM, we invited some of FLAG's founding members and pioneering LGBT+ diplomats to discuss their experience 🏳️🌈🇬🇧
It was an honour to listen to their stories and learn more about the early days of our group as this year is our 25th anniversary! 🎂
A terrible loss. A brilliant scientist from the day I met him in the 1990s as a youngish BAS secondee - David's clarity on climate science was incredible & revelationary. When he visited Mauritius in 2016 for a Presidential lecture he was as ever clear in his call for action.
It is with deep sorrow we report the death of Emeritus Fellow, Professor David Vaughan. He was suffering from cancer and passed away peacefully at home on Thursday 9 February 2023.

@FCDOGovUK@NneNneUK This is a great and inspirational video and I'd like to share it with people who don't have access to mainstream social media. Are you able to post on youtube or vimeo please?
@LauraClarkeUK @UKinNZ@FCDOGovUK You were always an inspirational colleague and a pleasure to work with: you epitomised true public service. Congratulations on your FCDO career and on taking your next step. 👏
I had a great evening today speaking with students at @univofstandrews on LGBTQ+ issues and foreign affairs. They are going to be formidable advocates and activists for further change and equality across the world! Impressive.
@BrianJJonesUK@PaulWelsh_UK@ukinfiji Very many congratulations Brian! And you are very lucky to have Paul there working with you. And Fiji is lucky too: Two of the very best diplomats I have known.
