Congratulations Tom! The best job in the Service (OK I’m biased) at a very exciting time, with the UK-French relationship turbocharged by a chaotic and unpredictable world. Living conditions are a bit cramped, but apart from that…!
I feel very privileged to be appointed His Majesty's Ambassador to France – such a critical partner for the UK at this time of global change and a country I first lived in over 45 years ago.

‼️🇫🇷 President Emmanuel Macron accused Vladimir Putin of lying about Ukraine today but the real, and scarcely disguised target, of his comments was Donald Trump. “France’s position is unchanging,” Macron said. “We believe in the sovereignty of peoples & territorial integrity” 1/

Today Elon took the Blue Tick away. Remember been so happy when I finally got verified. But that’s life! As an experiment to see if my reach has been affected: If you follow me, and you see this tweet, can you please retweet it 🙏🏻? This is my pinned tweet, which got me verified.
The moment I got to confront Chairman of the Brexit Party and founder of the Leave. Eu, Richard Tice on what he had to say about Northern Ireland, the border and Brexit. I may not have received a coherent response but getting to say ‘How Dare You’ was still a moment #HeadtoHead

Let me take off my journalist’s and put on my blue French beret with yellow stars. After all the doubts and nonsense of recent weeks (of course I never doubted Macron would win, hem hem) this is a wonderful night for France and for Europe. 2/2

N’importe qui peut lire le programme de Le Pen et voir que c’est faux. Blocages des traités, rejet du droit européen, réduction unilatérale du budget français versé à l’Europe. Ce sera soit la paralysie générale de l’UE, soit Frexit. Dans tous les cas, l’isolement de la France.

My greatest career exhilaration & pride has, hands down, come from Bandit Country (1999), Dead Men Risen (2011) & First Casualty (2021) - white-knuckle rides & labors of love, sleepless nights & eureka moments, plaudits & lawyers at dawn. Happy #nationalbookday to my readers!
