To all who call Scotland home and everyone around the world who holds it dear – Happy St Andrews Day!

BREAKING: Rishi Sunak is new UK Prime Minister. He’ll be the first British-Asian PM & first Hindu PM, and at 42, the youngest PM in modern times. I’ve backed @RishiSunak for a long time, think he’s the right guy for the job, and wish him every success.
Thank you to all those who have worked so tirelessly to ensure that everyone visiting Windsor over the past two weeks has had a safe & positive experience.
It was a pleasure to meet just a small number of staff & volunteers today. We are hugely grateful for all of your efforts.

Heartbroken that we lost Asma Jahangir - a saviour of democracy and human rights.
I met her a week ago in Oxford. I cannot believe she is no more among us. The best tribute to her is to continue her fight for human rights and democracy.
