@SamanthaJobUK @KungligaOperan Reminds me of when I studied Norwegian in Florence 😂

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer’s statement on the one-year anniversary of the October 7th attacks.

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

Interesting piece

[Anthony Browne @Browne_Anthony_]

At the end of the last Parliament, I was the only MP who had been a political journalist. Some reflections on what I learnt when I went from poacher to gamekeeper.

An honour to meet Prime Minister @narendramodi.

The UK and India share a unique living bridge that enriches both our countries.

We are working together to accelerate climate action while creating opportunities for British and Indian businesses.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Thank you @DrSJaishankar for the warm welcome. The UK-India relationship is indispensable.

It’s fantastic to be in Delhi as we announce a UK-India Technology Security Initiative to boost investment, create jobs, and address future challenges. 🇬🇧🇮🇳

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

“We’ll take the world-class scientific community we have here and be the partner they need to get to the next level.”

@peterkyle sets out his priorities to maximise the UK’s potential in science and tech to grow the economy, transform public services and improve people’s lives👇

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Thank you @David_Cameron not only for your kind words, but for treating the democratic transition with bipartisan spirit and grace.

This government will continue the UK’s leadership on Ukraine and our ironclad commitment to Ukraine’s security.

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

Lots of respect for Sunak & Starmer for their words today. Feeling proud to live in a country where power can be handed over so peacefully, respectfully & graciously. The speed is also breathtaking. This morning Sunak was still PM - 1.5hrs ago I stood to 'clap in' my new boss 🇬🇧

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

@LucyFergusonDip LDRs are hard. Sending you strength & all the best! 💪

@AshUKTrade That 'early morning' in Whitehall must have been taken on a sunday, pre-8am or during covid. It literally never looks like that.

THREAD: How to verify images online?

Social media is awash with false or misleading images, some of which get millions of engagements.

So, here's a simple guide on ways you can quickly check the veracity of an image you see on your social media feeds.

@TheWeekUK Is it possible to get the 10 things to your inbox, without signing up for any other mailings from the Week? Thanks!

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

@dave_clay @CMaguireFCDO Ha I agree with this one more!

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

Do you ever feel that older cities are just more interesting than new ones?

Well, it isn't just because they're old.

It's because of something called "vernacular architecture"...

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

They're just so PRETTY 🤩

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

The suggestion from Raab and others that this happened because some civil servants don’t like Brexit is pretty breathtaking. The people who made Brexit happen were countless officials who were asked to deliver an unpicking 50 years worth of political and commercial relationships.

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Our goal: to become a tech superpower by 2030 🥅 🦾

The UK's International Tech Strategy, unveiled yesterday at @SamsungUK, will tackle malign forces that threaten democracy online, whilst supporting UK tech at home and abroad.

[Nicola Di Luzio @ndiluz]

👏👏👏👏

[Ivana Stradner @ivanastradner]

Russia in the UN Security Council meeting accused the West of Russophobia. The UK had a brilliant strategy - they turned the tables on Russia and accused the Kremlin of ruining the reputation of Russia. @ferguseckersley spoke in Russian. This is really good. 🇬🇧👏
