Back in a familiar setting with grey hulls in sight! A very constructive day in Portsmouth, meeting with the Royal Navy Strategic Studies Centre and the UK's Joint Maritime Security Centre. Looking forward to working more closely with both both partners in #maritime #security

Desperately sad to learn of the death of Dave from Hairy Bikers. Together with Si they introduced me to cooking. I love their books and programmes, including the one on TV at the moment. Rest In Peace Dave Myers. Thoughts and prayers with Dave's family and friends.

For all involved in D-Day - in whatever capacity - thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Desperately sad news about Michael Mosley. He was a wonderful communicator. I thoroughly enjoyed his programmes and he got me thinking about food and health more than most. His death is a huge loss. May He Rest In Peace. Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.

Belated post #BISA photo. Great time at the conference in Birmingham last week. Great to present with my colleague Robert McCabe on public-private cooperation and subsea infrastructure protection. Got to present from the rather stunning Birmingham City Library. #maritime #security

Excellent post from a top quality journalist. Rigorous in his analysis with a superb ability to elaborate complex international issues to a wider audience. Thank you Mark Urban

All the best to the world’s greatest ever pace bowler, and one of our own, Jimmy Anderson on his 188th and final Test Match for England 🏏

Frank Field was a titan in British politics. He was a dear friend of mine and I miss him greatly. This week, I make my maiden speech in the House of Commons about what Frank taught me: how to disagree well, and learn always. Full speech available here: youtu.be/8rH4eKQ71HQ

I want to highlight the wonderful advice service provided by The RHS. As a novice gardener and newish RHS member it has been invaluable. I also just had a very detailed and helpful plant pathology report back on a sadly deceased Rose. Thank you!! #gardening

Sad to read of the death of Dame Maggie Smith. A wonderful actress who performed in some of my favourite television shows and films. RIP

Very sad news about the death of Alex Salmond. A towering figure in UK/Scottish politics. RIP

The best response to a bully is to stand up to them. The best thing for Europe and the UK to do is to step up, fund our security properly ( not with Treasury tricks and spin) and be prepared to use all means possible to ensure Putin fails in Ukraine. 1/2

Appeasement leads to wars. Corporal JD Vance should read his history and do his homework. He has never visited Ukraine and was wrong on his facts at Munich. 2/2

I’m sickened by that degrading spectacle. And to think the bust of Winston Churchill was in the same room as it unfolded. He would be turning in his grave if he saw that happen. Ukraine’s people, led by President Zelenskyy, have fought bravely to hold off Putin over the last

What a deeply depressing and unpleasant spectacle in the Oval Office as the US President and Vice President undermine and shout down President Zelensky, a man who has bravely led his country against Russian aggression. We must be resolute in supporting #Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

"We must be the great arsenal of democracy." Franklin Roosevelt rousing the American people to stand up to autocracy and dictatorship in 1940. This is how it should be done. youtu.be/G7BKvlobfBY?si…

PM speaking for the nation.

The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
