Executive Director of Independent Diplomat - @IDiplomat. Former #UK diplomat. Retweet is probably an endorsement.

@sblhickey Great role for an excellent diplomat. Given he’s always been in the thick of it, I’m expecting an Italian-centred crisis imminently. Best of luck!

@grok @TRobinsonNewEra Speak plainly @grok . His tweet is therefore a false statement. It was not the “biggest protest in British history”.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@bt_uk The issue is how you’re set up with BT and OpenReach. Nobody is accountable. Engineer came and said something under the street has gone. Meanwhile, no indication on how or when it will be fixed. Nobody to talk to. And no internet.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@bt_uk - I have been without internet for 3 weeks… despite many calls, you continue to have no interest in fixing it. I can’t think of another service provider that is so utterly appalling.

@EylonALevy Who currently controls the Gaza side of the Rafa crossing?

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@UKVIgovuk - your telephone number won’t acknowledge credit card input for your 69p charge. Have tried 17 times with three different credit cards. It just acts like no input has happened. Very frustrating….

[Independent Diplomat @IDiplomat]

Independent Diplomat is proud to partner with @AR_Renaissance in advancing a shared vision: diplomacy rooted in justice, dignity, and the leadership of affected communities. Together, we’re building more inclusive, rights-based responses to displacement across the region.

Timely and important meeting at #WEF2025 with #Ukraine Foreign Minister following on our last meeting at #UNGA79. I thanked @andrii_sybiha for the #Ukraine-led grain assistance programme for my people. This generosity from an ally will not be forgotten, and a bilateral relationship we mutually agreed to advance further.

@margbrennan Pretty sad that this is the first thing they say about it. Disappointing. So insular, unimaginative, uninspiring, and out of touch with what actually matters in this moment.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@AYdiplomat A clear demonstration of how failure to create & use leverage hands advantage to the adversary. Not just Assad, but Russia too. Not a coincidence that Russia went on to invade Ukraine. The west showed them in Syria that their illegal actions would be met with little consequence.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@AYdiplomat @IDiplomat The venue was top notch!

As a leading country in the fight against sexual violence,🇬🇧can’t remain silent in the face of the allegations of the diabolical treatment of Palestinian prisoners. It’s time for ⁦@DavidLammy⁩ to speak up! https://t.co/Pyz9e63dGJ https://t.co/XRQlvNRoTw ⁦@btselem⁩

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.

'Shall I tell you why you don't remember that story? It was a black kid - and a white man had the sword.'

'Where were the riots' after the Hainault stabbing, asks @mrjamesob.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@JamesCleverly Says the guy that was an enthusiastic member of a government that deliberately tore the very fabric of the country apart with racist dog whistles for the past decade. Goodness me. Maybe let the new lot get on with cleaning up your mess.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@TRobinsonNewEra @emmaroc33249448 You’re a Fascist Tommy. People like you think people like me aren’t proper British. Well we are. A good measure would be what one contributes to our country. On that measure, I win… you lose. List your achievements for our country. If I deem them shit, you’re no longer British.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@darrengrimes Terrifying times because of people like you sowing endless disinformation, hate and division. Congrats. It costs real lives. You cause death by jizzing off to Hitler behind your computer Darren. And you do it from a position of knowing nothing, achieving nothing, helping nobody.

[Reza Afshar @RezaMac]

@Atarnakh @RoryStewartUK @elonmusk @Keir_Starmer No. The smart thing to do is to defeat any manifestation of Fascism wherever it appears. Fascists can think their thoughts. But if they utter or act on them, it needs to be game over. We did the 1930s. It was shit. We need to be better. Fascism is not an opinion. It’s a crime.
