So proud of this UK-India work
Today is #WorldMalariaDay.
Thanks to UK-India collaboration the world now has two malaria vaccines.
But there's still more we can do.
We’re supporting @MedAccessUK to make malaria prevention tools like nets more available and affordable to people in lower income countries.

🇬🇧 Deputy High Commissioner @chandruiyer and colleagues visited @MicroncleanUK's factory at Vemgal, Kolar.

Watching #EnglandLionesses with my daughters. They’ve decided Spain are fire and England water.

Wellington, Shropshire has been my home for the last 6 months. I love these two buildings. Both built by the Methodists at the end of the Victorian Era, one remains a church, the other a mosque. 1/2
Every time I go to the supermarket I tell myself, “this time I’ll keep calm”. And yet somehow, here I am again, screaming “what do you mean “surprising item in the bagging area?! It’s a bag! It’s literally the least surprising item there could possibly be!”

Any direct attacks on the Indian High Commission in London are completely unacceptable.
We have made clear to @VDoraiswami and the Government of India that the safety of staff at the High Commission is paramount.

You can keep your extreme sports. For me, nothing beats the thrill of a day out with a 4-year-old who won’t use public toilets.

I have just lost my wedding ring - in Buxton Derbyshire - just after giving a talk this afternoon - dropped I think on St John’s rd - if anyone finds it I would be so grateful - it is an old gold ring with a cross on the face. V embarrassed + grateful for RTs.
Went to a repair shop in Beijing today to pick up our vacuum cleaner. First assistant turns to second and says, “这是你的外国人吗？ (Is this your foreigner?)”!

Today we tried to share on weibo 微博 the facts about the Sino-British Joint Declaration on Hong Kong: enduring past 1997; legally binding; registered at the UN. Censored after 30 mins. Even the words of PM Thatcher and President Jiang Zemin too sensitive? Here they are again:

Access to information is a fundamental right. #WorldPressFreedom Day acts as a reminder to all governments, including China, of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom and ensure journalists can work free from harassment.
