The NI Protocol is undermining the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. The EU are unwilling to change the Protocol, therefore we must act.
Read my @FT piece on how our legislation will fix the practical problems the Protocol is causing👇

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.
Our servicemen and women give us much to proud of, whether in the @BritishArmy @RoyalAirForce or the @RoyalNavy. #ArmedForcesDay is a great opportunity to thank them for their dedication to keeping us safe, and protecting our interests across the globe.
The rise in global food prices are hitting poorer countries hardest, including many of our friends in the Commonwealth. I welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment of £372m in aid to for immediate and longer-term relief at #CHOGM2022
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.
Ready to entertain again 🦁

Families are facing global cost of living pressures. Labour's response? Backing today's rail strikes.
Their union friends admit it will cost families, yet Labour won't condemn it 👇
Congratulations to @MattFitz94 on winning his first major title with victory in the #USOpen this weekend. Hoping this is the beginning of a successful summer for English sport!

Getting more people on the housing ladder is a key priority for this Government. I welcome the Prime Minister’s speech today to reverse the decline in home ownership and ensure the incentives are there to save for a deposit.
We're tackling the rising cost of housing.
By extending the right-to-buy scheme to housing associations, a further 2.5 million households will be eligible to purchase their own home.
We're reviewing access to mortgages so those in 'Generation Rent' can become 'Generation Buy'.
Our ocean is essential to all life on this planet and home to vital ecosystems 🌊
By working together, we can ensure it is healthy - which will help us fight #ClimateChange 🌍
We're leading 115 countries committed to #30x30 for our global ocean.

With this funding we can also reduce waiting times, improve outcomes for patients and tackle the backlogs caused by the pandemic. Pleased to see my colleagues at @DHSCgovuk delivering on the people’s priorities, and giving the NHS the support it needs.
Patients in England will have early access to potentially life-saving drugs through a new fund.
The Innovative Medicines Fund will use up to £340 million to fast-track cutting-edge treatments to give NHS patients the best chance of survival and recovery.

The PM has secured the support of Conservative MPs - now we must carry out what we were elected to deliver - levelling up, cutting crime, securing the benefits of Brexit and improving public services. Let’s get on with delivery and focus on the people’s priorities
The Prime Minister has got the big calls right in the last few years, and we need strong leadership going forward as we deal with the cost of living issues, levelling up our country, and helping Ukraine fight back against Putin’s aggression. He will have my full support tonight.
1/3: As this weekend of #PlatinumJubilee celebrations draws to a close today, we reflect on 70 years of devoted service to public life by Her Majesty. Her leadership has provided continuity and inspiration for many through the good times and the more challenging times.
WHAT A MAN!! 🦁🦁🦁
A huge win to start the summer!
🏴 #ENGvNZ 🇳🇿
I hope everyone across Halesowen & Rowley Regis has an enjoyable few days as we mark the #PlatinumJubilee this weekend. There are so many festivities both locally and nationally, as we come together to celebrate Her Majesty’s seven decades on the throne. #HM70.
Judges sat for a record 330,000 days last year, the highest number since 2003, reducing backlogs & delivering justice.
Removing the limit on sitting days for another year, extending Nightingale Courts & increasing magistrates’ sentencing powers will reduce the backlog even more.
1/2: The cost of living is causing concern to households up and down the country, and I know many of my constituents in Halesowen & Rowley Regis will welcome today’s announcement by my colleague @RishiSunak
We’re doing even more to protect victims and improve the support they receive.
Our Victims Bill will ensure they are better informed, served & protected – giving them the confidence to come forward, so we can bring more criminals to justice. https://twitter.com/MoJGovUK/status/1529387835148709889
Today’s draft Victims Bill will put victims’ needs & voices at the heart of the justice system.
It will help ensure victims receive consistent, high-quality support from vital roles such as IDVAs & ISVAs.
Hear more about this crucial support👇

Horrified by the news of a fatal shooting at a Texan primary school. My thoughts are with the people of Texas and all those affected by this dreadful attack.
🚨 Last night, Labour & the Lib Dems voted against our Public Order Bill to stop dangerous protest tactics.
🚑 Rather than side with law abiding majority, they chose a selfish minority blocking roads and emergency services.
1/2: I’m pleased to see that @Windsor_Tweets in Halesowen has seen the benefits of our Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, not only saving money but building a sustainable legacy for the future.
"Our energy bills reduced by 50%"
@Windsor_Tweets School cut emissions and bills through our Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
Making public buildings greener saves taxpayers millions a year. 160 public bodies will benefit from this round of grants: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/public-building-upgrades-to-save-taxpayers-650-million-per-year
Fantastic that over 1 million more disabled people are in employment compared to 5 years ago.
We're investing £1.3bn in employment support for disabled people and championing inclusive recruitment through our Disability Confident Scheme.
This is levelling up. https://twitter.com/dwppressoffice/status/1526511764413759488
Today, the Government has reached and exceeded its goal, set in 2017, to see an additional one million more disabled people in work by 2027
New data released today shows that 1.3m more disabled people are in employment, compared to five years ago

Today's UK Labour Market figures from the @ONS show:

Knife crime has a devastating impact on families up and down the country, and I welcome the news that my colleague @pritipatel is removing restrictions to allow Police Officers to keep stop and search powers in place for longer. One life lost to knife crime is a life too many.
Congratulations to Ukraine for winning the @Eurovision Song Contest 2022.
It is a clear reflection of not just your talent, but of the unwavering support for your fight for freedom.
Incredibly proud of @SamRyderMusic and how he brilliantly represented the UK tonight.
Nurses are often the one constant in a patient’s life, a voice in times of need and a hand to hold when the going gets tough. There is no greater privilege.
In total awe of nurses today as I was of my amazing colleagues those many years ago. Thank you 💙

1/3: Today is the #StateOpeningofParliament, which this year will be given by HRH Prince Charles in the absence of Her Majesty. I’m sure everyone will join me in sending best wishes to HM for a speedy recovery, particularly with the forthcoming Jubilee celebrations.

I’ve championed better support for mental health at both a local and National level during my time as an MP. We’ve made great strides in the past twelve years but there is always more to do, and #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek is a good time to reflect on that.
We all have mental health and a part to play in changing things for the better, for everyone.
As part of our new 10-year mental health plan, we need your views on how we can improve mental health and wellbeing.
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #TalkMentalHealth
Have your say 🔽
On VE Day, as we remember those who sacrificed their lives in WW2, we also think of those who've died and suffered in Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Our respect for those who fought strengthens our determination to support Ukrainians today.
#WeStandWithUkraine
Good luck to all our Conservative candidates today in Halesowen & Rowley Regis, looking forward to a busy day ahead for the final furlong of the campaign! Don’t forget to #VoteConservative today for lower Council taxes and better services. #LocalElections2022
Tomorrow, your choice is clear.
Conservative councils who deliver better local services and the lowest council tax or Labour and the Lib Dems who waste time and money playing political games.
#VoteConservative
This is Ukraine’s finest hour, an epic chapter in your national story.
Your children and grandchildren will say that Ukrainians taught the world that the brute force of an aggressor counts for nothing against the moral force of a people determined to be free.
New proposals to protect and support the nation's public service broadcasters 📺

We’re reforming & boosting consumer protection rights & competition rules so that:
🛍️ customers get a fairer deal
🏪 businesses benefit from a level playing field
Consumers will be able to spend with more confidence & businesses will thrive.

A very Happy Easter to everyone across Halesowen & Rowley Regis. My thanks to all those in @WMPolice @WestMidsFire , @OFFICIALWMAS and in our local NHS services who are working as normal this weekend to look after us.
I agree with Simon. It is right that the PM and the Chancellor have apologised and accepted the police’s decision. They both have my full support in getting on with the job of dealing with the big challenges we face domestically and on the international stage.
The PM and Chancellor have my full support. Their efforts during the pandemic have ensured the UK is now free of restrictions and avoided economic catastrophe. I for one am grateful to them for everything they have done for our country. (1/2)
Today I am thinking of my dear friend Sir David Amess. My thoughts are with him, his family & the people of Southend, a place he devoted his life to serving.
David was a kind, compassionate and loyal colleague. He represented the best values of our parliamentary democracy. 1/3
