I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility. We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

A pleasure and an honour to welcome @ZelenskyyUa back to London today - and to recognise the strength and determination of his leadership. We stand with him and we stand with Ukraine.🇺🇦 🇬🇧

In a trilateral format with Prime Minister of the United Kingdom @Keir_Starmer and @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte, we discussed joint weapons production and coordination in this direction to strengthen Ukraine and all of Europe. It is important to continue strengthening our air defense and ensuring it has a sufficient number of missiles for air defense systems. In particular, the decisions adopted during the Ramstein-format meeting must be implemented as soon as possible, and the PURL initiative must be replenished with additional contributions. I thank Keir and Mark for their efforts to support Ukraine and to maintain focus on Ukraine and the swiftest possible achievement of a dignified peace.

Working together with our allies, we will deliver security at home.

As we step up our defence partnership with Ukraine, the UK remains determined: we will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes. A privilege, as ever, to have you with us today @ZelenskyyUa.

I began my working visit to the United Kingdom with an audience with King Charles III. I thank His Majesty and the entire Royal Family for their unwavering support and solidarity with Ukraine. @RoyalFamily

Working together with our allies, we are continuing our diplomatic response to the situation in the Middle East. This matters for Britain’s security, and the cost of living. Brilliant to see you today, @MarkJCarney - and happy birthday!

This is deeply disturbing. Under our laws, online platforms have a duty to keep people safe online. We're already tightening the rules on AI chatbots and I'm ready to take further action if necessary. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Indeed. Thank you to both teams for a great game - and congratulations to France for the win.

@TomDrewUK Félicitations 🎉 Tom 🇲🇨 🇬🇧

I’m now official… Ravi d’avoir présenté mes lettres de créance à S.A.S. le Prince Albert II de Monaco en tant qu’ambassadeur du Royaume-Uni. Je me réjouis de continuer à renforcer les liens entre le Royaume-Uni et la Principauté.

Thank you Assistant Secretary General @JoyceMsuya for your tireless and passionate work for the UN and humanitarian action, including over four packed years @UNOCHA.

A highly productive UK-Ireland Summit with @Keir_Starmer. The relationship between our two countries has never been more vital. By working together on energy, security, and the economy, we are building a fairer, more resilient, and prosperous future for both nations.

Deeply saddened by the death of a French soldier and the wounding of French personnel in Iraq. My sincere condolences to the family, their comrades, and to our French allies. These incidents remind us of the dangers our forces face to keep us safe.
