Today marks my first working day in a new environment. As of today, I am moving from @CZECHIAinEU to @EU_Commission, where I will take up the role of Head of Cabinet for Commissioner @JozefSikela.

The head of my cabinet, @luciesestakova, excels with her deep understanding of everything important at the 🇪🇺 European level and her admirable dedication. I witnessed this during our successful Czech presidency, then as a minister and also during my preparations on the role of the European Commissioner. I’m very much looking forward to continuing our successful cooperation.

The world is forgetting about the people of Sudan. Half of the country’s population needs lifesaving assistance. But they need more than humanitarian support. They need an end to the bloodshed. They need peace. The only path out of this horror is a political solution.

@slgarbett I’m equally impressed at the marital achievement and baffled by what a colloque is

15 years wed. It's going well, I think. We marked it on the right day this year, at least. I'm spending the evening chairing a virtual Five Eyes Crisis Colloque. Seemed the obvious celebration. Anyway, he's a keeper.

The beginning of the end! Coming close to wrapping up four years in amazing Zimbabwe 🇿🇼. A privilege to spend an evening celebrating and thanking friends working on gender, disability, LGBT+, social protection (and many more). Shout out to my co-host @edbell75 - it was a blast!

Margaret’s story is one of fighting for the freedom to achieve one’s potential and the wasted opportunities when barriers are put in women’s way. I am the product of strong women and I am proud to play my part in the global fight for women’s #RightsFreedomPotential 6/6

In 🇮🇳 she specialised in women’s health & building local expertise. Relatives say she had a deep sense of duty. When she returned to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, she was reported to be somewhat depressed – understandable considering the loss of her life’s work and identity. 5/6 #RightsFreedomPotential

On this International Women’s Day, I would like to share the inspirational story of My Great Great Aunt Margaret McNeil who was defiant against social norms and expectations in 1800s Scotland to achieve her dreams. 🧵 1/6 #IWD #RightsFreedomPotential

Incredible anecdote about one of the first women to have a child while being a diplomat. Grateful for generations of women before me who have refused to accept the status quo, determined to do my bit in turn via FCDO Women’s Network 💪 and happy parental leave to @dave_clay!
David Clay@dave_clay

Previous generations weren’t so lucky. Relieved that the Foreign Office has moved on from the (not so distant) days when a female diplomat had to occasionally hide her baby in a filing cabinet because of the lack of provision for young families 👇🏻 (2/2)
