@SMcDonaldFCO's reflections on the diversity of today's Foreign Office inspired me to share the story of Sir Horace Phillips, whose autobiography I have been reading. He was the first British Jewish career ambassador. 1/9 👇🏾

DAY 3: We unpacked race, police brutality and all the existing movements showing us that change is possible when we organise and rise up. We’ve also learnt that TikTok can be a powerful education tool from Malika! (Class of 2017)

Thanks to UN Library,we have a list of all #UNbudget resolutions since 1946: research.un.org/en/docs/budget… The list suggests that the delay in budget adoption for the 2021 United Nations budget is without precedent since the 1965 budget (when the adoption of the budget failed to happen in 1964).

l'm concerned & disappointed that the UN 2021 budget & plan haven't been adopted yet. United Nations has a responsibility to address the pressing challenges we are facing because of the pandemic. If Member States fail to reach agreement, the consequences for UN work will be dire. 🇺🇳#UNGA75

In the midst of all this, the Democrats have just taken the Senate. AP has called the Georgia race for Jon Ossof. On January 20, 2017, the Republicans controlled the presidency, the House and Senate. On January 20, 2011, the Democrats will control all three.

Today we remember the victims of persecution during the Holocaust and other genocides, and the kindness of individuals, like the Maharaja of Nawanagar (present-day Gujarat) who took in 1,000 mostly Jewish Polish child refugees in 1942. They called him Bapu. #LightTheDarkness

Great honour & privilege to meet #Holocaust survivor Ray Kaner and hear her extraordinary story. She survived Auschwitz and was liberated by British troops from Bergen-Belsen in 1945. Kaner reminds us why we confront hatred and oppression and celebrate human dignity & spirit.

Very proud to honour Sir Horace Phillips, the UK’s first Jewish career ambassador, by dedicating the new ‘Phillips Room’ in Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office King Charles Street building. 75 years since he joined the Diplomatic Service, his story and achievements remain an inspiration.
