Deputy Ambassador, British Embassy Israel. Previously Tripoli, U.K. Mission to the UN, Afghanistan and the Philippines. RT is not endorsement. Views are my own.
In today’s #UNSC meeting #Russia again attempted to blame everyone else for the impact of its own war of aggression on #Ukraine. #Putin alone is to blame for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians. Putin could end his war today.
The Duke of Sussex is quite right: “we are no longer debating facts”. The fight against online disinformation and lies is one of the biggest challenges we face. Addressing it begins with educating our children to discern fact from fiction - we must do more
Against the backdrop of #Syria rejoining the #ArabLeague, we remind the #UNSC that the Syrian regime has murdered its own citizens on multiple occasions in #chemicalattacks It is shameful that the UNSC has failed to hold the regime to account for these abhorrent crimes 1/2
In #UNSC#Russia claims ‘with high degree of certainty’ that US sabotaged #Nordstream. However, the claim is based on an article by a journalist relying on a single secret source, the ‘facts’ of which have been debunked by @OAlexanderDK and others using open source material 1/2
Yesterday the comedian @jimmy_dore became the latest @TheGrayzoneNews collaborator to brief the #UNSC at 🇷🇺’s request - joining @MaxBlumenthal@raymcgovern@BowesChay
A short 🧵 comparing the rhetoric of these briefers and that of Oswald Mosley and British Union of Fascists 1/9
OPCW confirms what we have long said in the #UNSC - #Syria’s ‘Tiger Forces’ responsible for #ChemicalWeapons attack, including #Douma in 2018, involving chlorine dropped from helicopters. My thoughts today are with the families of the victims of the Douma attack.
🔴 Reasonable grounds to identify Syrian Arab Air Forces as perpetrators of 2018 #Douma#ChemicalWeapons attack, #OPCW IIT report concludes.

The outstanding issues on #Syria’s #chemicalweapons declaration that we discuss each month in the #UNSC are not academic. The regime has repeatedly used these weapons against its own people. We must not forget the victims #Accountability
It’s no coincidence that @RussiaUN has decided to focus on this issue with such urgency during the week that marks one year since the start of its devastating full-scale invasion of #Ukraine
In 1939, Mosley and the BUF defended Nazi Germany, claiming Poland was ‘corrupt’ and a ‘puppet of the West’, which itself was responsible for a ‘strangulation policy’ that had caused Germany to feel ‘embattled’. They echoed genocidal Nazi rhetoric 4/9
Really excited to start my journey as 🇬🇧 Deputy Ambassador in 🇱🇾 at the beautiful Bayt Ali Gana.
Where should I visit next as I learn more about this fascinating country?
The White Helmets is a humanitarian organisation responsible for heroic lifesaving work. Abhorrent accusations by #Russia and the #Assad regime represent #disinformation designed to undermine the evidence of atrocities documented by @SyriaCivilDef@SyriaCivilDefe
