Cheers. 🫡🍷

本日、キア・スターマー首相＠Keir_Starmerと日英首脳会談を行いました。 １月の東京での首脳会談以来、今度は英国の地でキアと再会でき、心から嬉しく思います。 今回の会談では、安全保障上も極めて重要なパートナーである英国との間で、二国間及び国際場裡における両国の更なる連携を確認しました。 特に、エネルギーを始めとする経済安全保障と先端技術分野での協力を推進することで一致しました。 この度、キアとの間で「経済安全保障協力に関する日英首脳共同宣言」及び「日英フロンティア・テクノロジー・パートナーシップ」を発出し、これらの重要分野での今後の日英協力の方向性を打ち出しました。 防衛・安全保障分野では、グローバル戦闘航空プログラム（GCAP）の下、次期戦闘機の共同開発を加速することで一致しました。 防衛産業、サイバー等の分野でも、今後一層協力を深化させていきます。 また、現下の中東情勢についても、ホルムズ海峡の自由で安全な航行の確保の重要性を確認するとともに、事態の早期沈静化に向け、必要な外交努力を粘り強く行っていくことで一致しました。 中国をめぐる諸課題や北朝鮮への対応、インド太平洋情勢、ウクライナ情勢についても、明晩から始まるＧ７エビアン・サミットを見据え、戦略的な議論ができました。 さらに、日英両国のビジネスリーダーの方々が出席するビジネス・ラウンドテーブルにも、キアと共に参加しました。 今回の日英首脳会談の機会に、洋上風力、原子力、サイバーセキュリティ、半導体といった幅広い分野で、両国関係機関・企業間の協力覚書が結ばれました。 こうした具体的な協力が着実に進展していることを、喜んでいます。 １月の訪日の際には、キアは猫がお好きであるということが話題になりましたが、今回、英首相官邸を訪問し、英国首相官邸「ネズミ捕獲長」の猫の「ラリー」にも会うことができました。 先日19歳の誕生日を迎えたという大ベテランですが、元気な様子を見て安心しました。 「強化されたグローバルな戦略的パートナー」である日英両国は、いまや、いわば「準同盟国」とも言えるレベルの関係を築いています。 このような日英関係を更なる高みに引き上げるべく、今後、日英関係をアップグレードしていきます。 そしてこれからも英国と手を携え、地域や国際社会の平和と安定に貢献してまいります。

Good to speak to my Ukrainian counterpart @FedorovMykhailo today. I updated him on the shadow fleet operation, and we discussed the UK’s steadfast support to Ukraine’s defence as we prepare for the UDCG meeting that I will chair alongside Germany next week. Slava Ukraini.

Delighted to be in the USA watching Scotland play Haiti tonight, honouring a promise I made to my youngest many years ago that if Scotland qualified we'd go together to see them play... and hopefully win.

Arise... Sir Kevin Sinfield. The rugby league legend, who has raised over £11 million for MND causes, inspired by his late friend and team-mate Rob Burrow, has become Sir Kevin in the King’s Birthday Honours list. He spoke to Sally Nugent for #BBCBreakfast bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c07…

On the BBC news at one just now the tag for the headlines 'David Hockney resigns" Well that's one way of looking at it I suppose.

Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.

My thoughts are with the victim of the horrifying attack in Belfast. Our emergency services responded bravely to the shocking violence that followed it. Those responsible will face the full force of the law.

Foreign states are increasingly hiding behind proxies to carry out hostile attacks against our country. That's why we’ve today introduced the National Security (State Threats) Bill: arming law enforcement with stronger powers to better protect the public.

Big Tech companies like Apple and Google have been given three months to activate built in safeguards on smartphones and tablets to detect and block nude images for children. This will prevent predators from exploiting and abusing victims through their devices, as well as stopping children accessing pornography. If companies do not act within three months, the government will bring forward legislation to force them to activate the technology. This will include fines for companies and, as a last resort, we are exploring criminal liability for tech bosses who fail to comply. 91% of online child sexual abuse reports recorded in 2024 contained self‑generated content. Children as young as five are being groomed, manipulated and coerced by online predators into creating and sharing explicit images. Predators then use these images to blackmail children into creating more extreme content and, in the most horrific cases, children have committed suicide on livestream or engaged in self‑harm. These features are not about surveillance or policing people’s phones - they are about protecting our children from vile predators. Over‑18s will still be able to view adult content by providing proof of age. There is no data collection, no monitoring and no reporting. The device will simply block harmful content across all apps and services. This will make Britain the first country in the world where it is impossible for children to take, share or view naked pictures on their devices.

This day in history 6 June 1944, #DDay, British soldiers landed in Normandy alongside Allied forces to begin the liberation of Europe 🪖 Today, we remember their courage, sacrifice, and service 🫡 Lest we forget.

Never forgotten. #DDay

The more I see of this, the more I can't wait to go and see it. #DisclosureDay 👽
