Today at the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting, I set out the UK’s commitment to multilateralism.
We will always stand up for Britain’s values and interests in the world.
In the plenary, I told the Russian Foreign Minister that he should have the courage to tell Putin that Russia will not win this war.

Friends,
I've been contacted by the heads of Ukrainian hospitals and state institutions asking for help in obtaining generators.
They are very difficult to source these days, and you know how critical the need for them is in Ukraine.
If anyone knows how we could obtain these generators, or has contacts with suppliers, donors, or organizations that might be able to assist, I would be extremely grateful.
All generators will be officially registered as assets of the receiving institutions, and their proper operation and maintenance will be ensured. All letters and documentation necessary will be provided.
Below is a detailed list:
▪️ Fuel Storage Facility (Krenychi)

Captain Kirk is officially a flat-earther.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
William Shatner called flat Earth theories "bizarre" and "the madness that some people want to believe" in a 2024 interview. He has tweeted that the curvature of the Earth can be seen from mountains and that on a flat Earth the sun would never set. nypost.com/2024/08/20/ent… x.com/WilliamShatner…

Again, the UK is free to deregulate away (remove) all the EU level (workers, consumer & environmental) regulations it wants: which ones specifically do Brexiters want to remove?
Meaning UK businesses would sell fuck all in the EU27 (& EFTA4) for equal compensating sales where? To sell in "their neighbouring countries" they need to be producing to EU standards. No business wants to be producing to two different standards. Better to be producing to one standard that can be sold as easily in "their neighbouring countries". The Single Market levels the playing field for SMEs, when members of it, to compete equally, which otherwise means they are priced out of this & all other markets, by the international barriers to trade, that they cannot as easily overcome as the "giant multinationals"..
World wide companies buy from (including formerly the UK) EU/EFTA nations because of the world recognised high standards they are assured of: it is the EU selling feature.
What would the UK (deregulated, from EU standards, products & produce) selling feature be for these more distant overseas buyers? If not the guaranteed higher quality (CE mark) produce standards, then what? To be cheaper than what they can buy more from *their* closer neighbours? How?

Watching huge numbers of greylag geese arrive to roost at Pegwell Bay as darkness falls is quite something! 🦆✨
In autumn, these wonderful flocks gather in massive numbers as part of their seasonal migration and winter grouping behaviour.

Millions of UK workers withdrawing from pension schemes to make ends meet
Consequence of low wages and high cost of living. Living now v income in retirement.
They will have lower private pension in later life and state pension isn't enough even now.

They’ve been dumping shit in the rivers for six years and the punishment is a fine smaller than the CEO’s annual bonus. We get the sewage and the price rises, they get the dividends. It fucking stinks, in more ways than one.
South West Water (SWW) has been fined almost £8m for hundreds of sewage spillages across Devon and Cornwall over a six-year period.

This is an accurate summary of my position :-)
From AI to research, skills & growth, @ProfBrianCox’s message with @siennamarla was clear: build an educated, adaptable workforce, protect world-class research & give science the freedom to explore the unknown. #Lab26 @TheHouseMag
