Some family news. My kid sister will be the next Mistress of @GirtonCollege Cambridge. Could not be prouder of you @Dr_E_Kendall!
Lis will follow in the footsteps of such great women as Sarah Emily Davies and Baroness Warnock. No pressure! girton.cam.ac.uk/news/dr-elisab…
Tomorrow is #InternationalWomensDay2022, what a proud moment for our family that our Lissie should be appointed to this position at the first women’s college at @Cambridge_Uni, and the first university college in England to admit women.
I’m not remotely jealous of her success.
I wish dad were alive to see it. You always were his favourite Lissie!
Gonna keep posting these until I embarrass her
Your nephew says can he have his 4th birthday party at Girton High Table please
See @Dr_E_Kendall? Science!

Indulge me in this thread about what I've heard someone call "a brilliant week for the EU" (in terms of its policy response, not in a wider sense of course - the past week has been a disaster for all of us, not just #Ukraine).
As someone who has spent my career working in EU foreign policy, I do find it tremendously heartening to see us win praise for getting it largely right, acting quickly and decisively. This is why I joined - to see the EU use its weight to defend our values from bullies.
And from where I sit it is rather stunning to see us deliver a truly punchy sanctions package, and mobilise EU funding to deliver arms - even fighter planes - to our friends to help them defend themselves.

This has to be career ending.
Remember when Julian Clary was cancelled for years because he made a gag about Norman Lamont’s red box? Come on @Channel4 @NetflixUK this is way over the line.
So I did verify that he said it. I’m afraid he did. I’m afraid I’m now falling into the trap of helping it go viral which rather seems to have been the point. But it’s Catch-22 - if we say nothing then this will be seen as OK. It isn’t.

I remember the round of FCO cuts in 2011 when they were already cutting into bone. Many smaller embassies were run by two UK diplomats only, including the ambassador, leaving most actual diplomatic work to local hires. This now has to mean embassy closures.
When a core set of tasks that can only be done by diplomatic staff (eg cypher work) is done by the Ambassador and the DHM, because there’s nobody else qualified, that leaves the usual diplomatic reporting, representation etc to local staff. Is that what Tory backbenchers want?
Local staff are great, don’t misunderstand me; but I don’t believe that many people back home really appreciate how much of British diplomacy is conducted by foreigners on their behalf.
