Inspiring to have @ZelenskyyUa at the #NATOSummit today. We stand in solidarity with Ukraine’s fight for freedom and self-determination. Now is the time to double down and ensure Ukraine defeats Russia so President Zelenskyy can negotiate from a position of strength.
United, #WeAreNATO.

As union bosses waste time touring television studios, I'm getting on with the job at hand and modernising our railway.
This £1bn investment will replace outdated Victorian infrastructure with cutting edge digital signalling on the East Coast Main Line.

Tragic news from Texas.
My thoughts are with the families and friends of all those affected, and those still fighting for their lives in hospital.
Terrible to hear of the news from San Antonio. My thoughts are with the families of all those who've been lost and I wish those in hospital a safe recovery.
Huge congratulations on your appointment.

Large shopping mall in Kremenchuk with hundreds of civilians inside has been hit by a Russian strike. Russia is a disgrace to humanity and it must face consequences. The response should be more heavy arms for Ukraine, more sanctions on Russia, and more businesses leaving Russia.
Bombing a shopping mall in the middle of the day, when it would be at its busiest. It’s a murderous 🇷🇺 act that targets 🇺🇦 civilians. It adds to the rapidly lengthening justice tally sheet.
Our comprehensive, practical and durable solution will fix the current problems with the Protocol so that Northern Ireland can move forward - while protecting UK and EU markets.

#UK will remove the #visa requirement for nationals of @GCCSG , who wish to visit the UK, and move onto the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme when it rolls out in 2023.

Two decades of achievements underline the GP’s importance as a cornerstone of global efforts to combat the spread of #WMD #GPWMDOfficial

The Government is bringing forward legislation to fix the Northern Ireland Protocol and protect the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
As part of this we are engaging with businesses to discuss our solution. 👇
We must end Putin's stranglehold on grain which drives up global food prices, deprives Ukraine of revenue and puts millions at risk of starvation.
We will work with partners to end Russia's grain blockade and with Ukraine to repair vital railways.

NI Protocol Bill returns for 2nd reading today.
It will fix problems the Protocol has created in Northern Ireland & uphold the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. Our preference remains a negotiated outcome, but EU continues to rule out change to Protocol👇

As the @G7 gathers in Germany, Prime Minister @BorisJohnson and I want to be very clear about our support for Ukrainians and for President @ZelenskyyUa: It is unwavering. We stand with you, and we are staying the course.
Putin is using hunger as a weapon of war and we cannot allow his blockade of Ukrainian grain to continue.
Today the UK is pledging up to £10m in aid to help Ukraine repair its rail infrastructure so Ukrainians can resume their crucial exports. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

NEW: The @G7 has launched the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment to mobilise $600bn of honest, reliable finance into low and middle income countries by 2028.
Acting as an economic NATO, the G7 will offer an alternative to investment from autocratic regimes.
We must support Ukraine to strengthen their hand in both the war and any future negotiations.
President @EmmanuelMacron and I agreed to step up our military support for Ukraine at this critical moment, and to enhance Anglo-French cooperation on defence and security.
🇬🇧🇫🇷
The measures we have announced today will directly hit Russian oligarchs and strike at the heart of Putin’s war machine.
We need to starve the Putin regime of its funding. The UK and our allies are doing just that. https://twitter.com/10DowningStreet/status/1540998877825859584
Sanctions update:
New Russian gold will no longer be allowed to be exported to the UK, US, Japan and Canada – targeting Putin’s war machine.
UK import restrictions now apply to over £13.5 billion of Russian exports.
SANCTIONED: Russian gold exports, worth £14.4 billion to the Russian economy in 2020.
Working with our allies, we are cutting off funding for Putin’s regime.
The UK stands ready to guarantee a further £429 million of financial support for Ukraine.
This brings the total amount of UK loan guarantees to £1.3 billion – part of £1.5 billion of UK humanitarian support to Ukraine this year.

Today 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇯🇵 have led @G7 allies with sanctions to ban the import of Russian gold - cutting off funding for Putin’s war machine and further isolating Russia from the international financial system.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-sanctions-russian-gold-exports
Now is not the time to give up on Ukraine, they need the support and resolve of the @G7 more than ever.
The UK will continue to back Ukraine every step of the way, because we know that their security is our security, and their freedom is our freedom.
#Kyiv was shelled overnight by 🇷🇺. A residential district was targeted. Nothing military to see there. What murderous cowardice.

We've supported London transport with nearly £5bn of funding. To reach a long-term settlement that is fair to taxpayers, we must have all required info from TfL & the Mayor, which we have repeatedly asked for. TfL has asked for an extension to do this, which we have today granted
On #ArmedForcesDay, people across the UK are joining together to recognise all those who are serving and have served our nation.
Whether at home or overseas we say thank you for your courage, service, and sacrifice.

Educating girls improves lives and transforms societies.
That is why we are committed to getting girls across the Commonwealth back into education and campaign to give every girl 12 years of quality education.
The UK understands only too well the shock and pain of attacks on the LGBT community.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Norway in response to the Oslo attack, particularly those who are injured or have lost loved ones.
We must not, and will not, let hate triumph.
Our unique Commonwealth family is bound by our shared values and commitment to tackle today’s global challenges together.

The Commonwealth, a family of 54 countries encompassing a third of humanity is united by an invisible thread of shared values, history and friendship.
We now pass the responsibility of Chair-in-Office to Rwanda to continue the work of the Commonwealth.
We’re funding LGBT rights programmes across the Commonwealth.
We’re stepping up to tackle food insecurity fuelled by Putin’s futile and unprovoked war in Ukraine.
The UK is playing its part to address this deadly global crisis with a package of funding to support countries across the Commonwealth.
Sad to see @OliverDowden one of our Party Co-Chairmen stand down.
As the PM says, he understands his disappointment in the by-election losses.
They don’t tell you much about how GE’s pan out. We lost 15 by-elections between 1979 & 1992 but went on to win in 1983, 1987 & 1992.
Türkiye is an important partner for the UK. We are key European NATO allies.
I met Vice President @fuatoktay in Ankara & talked about the UK & Türkiye deepening our cooperation in areas including energy, defence and security. We continue to work together to support Ukraine.
Huge thank you to the oncology and surgical teams at Guys Hospital.
Susie has had her operation and it went well. Still some treatment left to go but this is a big milestone passed. #breastcancer
