It’s a privilege to be in the company of people like Sol & Elsie Sanderson and Dr. Steadward at this spring’s UofR Convocation - 55 years after my first convocation.
Great to see @HMS_Medway back in the Falklands after her mission to assist our friends in Tristan da Cunha. ⚓️
A cracking example of the UK family working together and supporting each other - a huge well done again to Medway and her crew. 🇫🇰🇹🇦🇬🇧
The UK’s Blue Belt @ukgovbluebelt programme is a real success story & partnership with our Overseas Territories we can truly be proud of - one that now includes Montserrat! 🇲🇸
Ten years since it began, more than 4 million sq km of ocean are now protected or sustainably managed.
Every voice matters. 💬

📜 The 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗻 𝗨𝗞 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 policy belongs in a museum — not in 2026.
More than 400,000 UK State pensioners worldwide are denied the annual increases they earned.
Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, it’s time to end this outdated policy.

🇬🇧 A Policy Older Than Most UK State Pensioners: Time to End the UK’s Freeze
The logic goes round and round:
🔒 No uprating without a reciprocal agreement.
🚫 No reciprocal agreement because the UK won’t change it.
The result?
👵👴 Over 400,000 pensioners worldwide are left behind.
Fairness overseas is not a favour.
It’s a right.
📢 Time to End It!

On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, we remember those whose service and sacrifice turned the tide of the Second World War, including Falkland Islanders Field Nurse First Class Robert Rumbles and Flt Lt Norman McLeod (pictured). #DDay82#DDay2026#WeWillRememberThem 🇫🇰🇬🇧
🌺 Today we remember the heroes of D-Day and the sacrifices made on June 6, 1944.
Their courage changed history and secured freedoms for future generations.
Lest We Forget.

It was an honour to be in Wales today, joining members of the East Glamorgan Branch of the @Official_1WG Association at their annual memorial service in Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, in honour of those killed on the RFA Sir Galahad in 1982. 🇫🇰🤝🏻🏴
Lovely to catch up with Hugo Burnand on Thursday, at the @DeLaRuePlc Diplomatic Dinner. Hugo took the portrait of HM The King that features on our new Falkland Islands banknotes, which are produced by De La Rue. 🇫🇰🇬🇧
