Taiwan are such good friends of the U.K. Particularly during the Pandemic and during our recent bilateral trade talks. Great catch up with Taiwan in the UK Representative Kelly Hseih. I first visited Taiwan in 1991 and have been an enthusiast ever since!

I offer my sincere condolences to all those affected by this morning’s rail accident in Taiwan. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and those injured.

As UK trade envoy to Taiwan I am shocked and saddened by today's appalling rail accident, and send my deepest condolences to everyone affected.

Starting now in #HouseofLords, @richardfaulkne8 presses government on plans to reform governance of English football to prevent breakaway of six Premier League Fans clubs into a #EuropeanSuperLeague x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We will always need to transport freight, but how can we do this in a climate emergency? The answer: by rail. So what’s the best way to unclog our railways to facilitate this? The answer: shift the capacity-clogging expresses onto their own network. The answer is #HS2.

Greens for HS2 The benefits of HS2 phase 1 to release paths on the southern WCML are huge. And not factored into HS2 Co2 savings x.com/EngFocus/statu…

Beautiful 🙌🏻

. GWR calling it right on face covering announcements and social media. Well done & a nice way to start the week.

Love the birthday tee from my boys 😂 ❤

Sweet Caroline, the perfect choice - Ed Balls gets the chance to conduct Knottingley Silver Band at the @NPCLabour summer garden party

At @tradegovuk we now have the largest network of Prime Minister’s Trade Envoys ever! Great to welcome, with Liz Truss, existing Envoys and new ones to the department yesterday.

The people of #Taiwan join the world #StandWithUkraine & its people. Proud that our people, private sector & NGOs have together raised more than NT$200 million in 3 days for a fund set up by 外交部 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROC (Taiwan) 🇹🇼 to provide humanitarian aid, with more coming in every day.

RAIL Magazine Thanks Nigel - the credit for the prog must go to @yellowbarrels and Terrier Productions Ltd - they played an absolute blinder. What a privilege to work on it. Richard Faulkner has done great work in furthering the message of reg and richard.

Glorious 70 seconds of Nigel Farage going from uber-confident, to absolutely crestfallen.

Outrageous that this is not how the Queen will return to London. Flying is SO much more convenient for officialdom, eh? The hundreds of thousands of Scots and Northerners who cd have paid their respects at the line side? What do they matter? Disgusting

God Save The King.

Love the tradition that the Royal beekeeper has told the Queen's bees that "the lady has died" and tied black ribbons to the hives. As I gave The Late Queen a jar of Head Gardener honey each year, I’ve just told my three queens about Queen Elizabeth’s death and our new King.

To all of our customers, colleagues, and friends - from all of us at GWR, have a Merry Christmas ❄️🎄
