It has been an honour, a privilege and a pleasure to serve as British High Commissioner to Australia.  

Our 🇬🇧-🇦🇺 partnership is strong, broad, deep and enduring.   Friends working together.  Sharing ideas. Supporting security. Investing in each other.

We wish Sir David Attenborough a very happy 100th birthday.

His passion for the natural world has galvanised international action to preserve it like nobody else.

Today we summoned the Russian Ambassador to revoke the accreditation of a Russian diplomat, responding to the unjustified expulsion of a British diplomat and hostile public targeting of our staff.

We will not tolerate intimidation and will respond accordingly.

Today is #ANZACDay – which honours the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Honoured to stand alongside diplomatic colleagues today as we commemorate Anzac Day—remembering the courage, sacrifice, and enduring legacy of those who served. Lest we forget.

[UK in Australia 🇬🇧🇦🇺 @ukinaustralia]

We will remember them.

Today, the UK stands with Australia and New Zealand in remembrance, honouring all who served and sacrificed.

Great to welcome the UK’s Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Darren Jones MP, to the Parliament today 🇬🇧🇦🇺

We were joined by Acting British High Commissioner Dr Brian Jones & Deputy Consul-General Ed Kitt - thank you both for your work strengthening the ties between NSW & UK

[UK in Australia 🇬🇧🇦🇺 @ukinaustralia]

Our very own @BrianJJonesUK & @EdKitt were thrilled to join the Cowra community at the Cowra International Festival of Understanding, where the 🇬🇧 was proud to be host nation—celebrating deep UK–Cowra ties, marked with the planting of an English oak 🌳

[Ed Kitt @EdKitt]

Great to get a #parkrun in with @BrianJJonesUK whilst visiting Cowra, NSW for 🇬🇧 Festival of Understanding — the best way to start the day.

Only problem… getting Charlie to pose for the photo 🐕📸😂

[Ed Kitt @EdKitt]

Fortunate to spend the week in Papua New Guinea with the team—listening and learning about domestic and foreign policy issues.

Inspired by the opportunities for 🇬🇧 🇵🇬 ties to grow further, and how much more we can achieve together as our partnership continues to deepen.

[Sarah MacIntosh @SarahMacFCDO]

Today is International Women’s Day. 🇬🇧 Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has put combatting violence against women and girls at the heart of foreign policy. 🇬🇧 is acting through the All In Coalition & with @StopNCIIorg.
Rights. Justice. Action. For all women and girls.

Four years into the Kremlin’s assault, meeting Ukrainian MPs reinforced our admiration for Ukraine’s courage and determination. The UK is proud to have committed £21.8bn to support Ukraine and to keep working with our Australian partners in this effort 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺

@SarahMacFCDO

[Ed Kitt @EdKitt]

4 years on from the Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, I joined consular colleagues to stand in solidarity with Ukraine.

Proud to hold 🇬🇧 alongside Michelle from the local Ukrainian community.

Our support for Ukraine will endure for as long as it takes 🇺🇦 🇬🇧

[Ed Kitt @EdKitt]

Fantastic to have Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy in Sydney for the AMR Summit.

AMR is a global threat that needs global solutions - stronger partnerships, shared research and coordinated action to protect the medicines we all rely on.

@ukinaustralia

[Prof. Dame Sally Davies @UKAMREnvoy]

Honoured to meet the female trailblazers in AMR and hear about their inspiring leadership, commitment, and impact around the world. Grateful to @CSIRO and the FlemingInitiative for making this possible.

Last week a team from @UKinAustralia visited @OurBigKitchen in Sydney.
While we chopped carrots, Rabbi Dovid Slavin shared how OBK deliver 250,000 meals a year, support 33 charities as well as individuals and families in need, and offer a place for community.

We were pleased to host Ukrainian Ambassador @AmbVasyl, and Kateryna Argyrou, HonConsul, today.

We learned about the ongoing devastation and urgent need to stand with Ukraine now more than ever.

Heartening to see strong bipartisan support from across NSW politics 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇦🇺
