Delighted to see a Labour Government. Socialist governments in London, Madrid and Gibraltar for the first time in history. Last week I met @AngelaRayner with @GemmaArias in London. I have met with @Keir_Starmer on a number of occasions to discuss #Gibraltar. Last week I met also with Neil Kinnock, the legendary Labour Leader. Looking forward to working with @DavidLammy and @SDoughtyMP.
Third times the charm, Wes.
It's like they learned nothing from the previous two mayoral campaigns.
After running a Tory Mayoral race this time round, it's @CountBinface this time.
A win for Susan Hall and the Conservatives is a win for racists, white supremacists and Islamophobes the world over.
Susan Hall’s campaign has been fought from the gutter with dangerous and divisive politics.
London, we cannot let her win. Vote Sadiq.

@CFOBUK@UKLabour@Conservatives@RicHolden@CCHQPress And to quantify my 🖕🏽. If your aim was as you stated. Why did a senior member of your team call me to help the hopeless mayoral candidate, Moz, "because he's Bengali". Are you in your game to prove @LeeAndersonMP_ right? Shut up or put up.
@CFOBUK@UKLabour@Conservatives@RicHolden@CCHQPress Typical self aggrandising bollocks from a rudderless organisation. What has sex or religion got to do with the leadership of an affiliate group of the @Conservatives? If you think gender and religious equality is a new thing then it speaks volumes about how backwards you are...
@CFOBUK Since the time I first met CFOB in 2009, under the same stagnant leadership, you've had the same aims. Don't you think it's odd that since then @UKLabour have achieved so much more without even trying. Maybe time to take a look inwards 👍🏽
@CFOBUK 2/2 The sad thing here is you sucked his 🍑 when no one else took you seriously and threw him under the bus when it was your time to let your wokery shine.
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

Had better days at work. Waited for 3 buses to get in this morning and then got the Spanish Archer this evening from my two ministerial positions in the reshuffle...
The Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his Foreign Secretary and I have gladly accepted.
We are facing a daunting set of international challenges, including the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East. At this time of profound global change, it has rarely been more important for this country to stand by our allies, strengthen our partnerships and make sure our voice is heard.
While I have been out of front-line politics for the last seven years, I hope that my experience – as Conservative Leader for eleven years and Prime Minister for six – will assist me in helping the Prime Minister to meet these vital challenges.
Britain is a truly international country. Our people live all over the world and our businesses trade in every corner of the globe. Working to help ensure stability and security on the global stage is both essential and squarely in our national interest. International security is vital for our domestic security.
Though I may have disagreed with some individual decisions, it is clear to me that Rishi Sunak is a strong and capable Prime Minister, who is showing exemplary leadership at a difficult time. I want to help him to deliver the security and prosperity our country needs and be part of the strongest possible team that serves the United Kingdom and that can be presented to the country when the General Election is held.
I believe in public service. That is what first motivated me to get involved in politics in the 1980s, to work in government in the 1990s, become a Member of Parliament in the 2000s and put myself forward as Party Leader and Prime Minister.
The UK’s Foreign Office, our Diplomatic Service, our Intelligence Services and our Aid and Development capabilities are some of the finest assets of their kind anywhere in the world. I know from my time in office that they are staffed by brilliant, patriotic and hard-working people. They have been well led by James Cleverly, with whom I look forward to working in his vital new role.
It will be an honour to serve our country alongside our dedicated FCDO staff and provide the continued leadership and support that they deserve.
In my interview with a former Israeli deputy Foreign Minister, he acknowledged that Israel is collectively punishing the people of Gaza.

Looking forward to returning to the UK after a fun and relaxing week in Gibraltar. From National Day to the launch of the election it's been a fun one. Thank you #gibraltar 🙏🏽
