For the avoidance of doubt - again - I’m not bloody defecting.
To those anonymous colleagues spreading such rumours, my door is always open for a chat.
So, it turns out Durham Police, far from not doing retrospective fines, have issued 100 of them
No wonder @Keir_Starmer took so long over his questionnaire & took expert legal advice about completing it

Innovation, like science, requires collaboration.
If we continue to be blocked by the EU from Horizon, other international programs, like #Eureka, become even more key.
To Lisbon @ukinportugal for today’s #Eureka #GlobalInnovationSummit of 47 nations to deepen UK collaboration
Keir Starmer has spent 11 days refusing to condemn the rail strikes. On Wednesday he ordered his MPs not to take a stand against the militant unions.
Now we know why: In private, he's backing the strikes which will grind the country to a halt.

Remembering Jo Cox and her contribution to politics and public life. My thoughts are with her loved ones today.
We will never let those who commit evil and despicable acts to triumph over democracy.
Mr President, Volodymyr,
It is good to be in Kyiv again.
Strong trusts deliver transformative benefits for children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Today, I addressed the #CSTConf22 to reaffirm my vision for these trusts to play a leading role in our ambitions for children.

We will back Britain and we will back the British people for as long as it takes.
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'.
“I hope they don’t fine Starmer because I’d much rather face Keir Starmer than Wes Streeting in an election”
Conservative @AaronBell4NUL says that @Keir_Starmer is guilty of the same behaviour as @BorisJohnson, adding that he’s “not going down well in the Red Wall”.

I've though for a while that a Tory MP could profit from taking on the media agenda directly while live on screen. One could have done it on ITV News last night, but played it cautious instead. Lee Anderson just went for it. 👊 https://twitter.com/KEdge23/status/1534108728621924352
Brilliantly said Lee Anderson. Says what so many are thinking. It is a witch hunt against Boris.
People want the government to get on with the job and carry on delivering on their priorities. The media just want to keep talking about the same nonsense.
1/4 On afternoon of 23rd July 2020 when I was health minister you telephoned me to tell me that we had to handle the pandemic following the example set by the East/China. That people testing + should be removed from their homes and placed into isolation hotels for two weeks. https://twitter.com/Jeremy_Hunt/status/1533748389891940352
Anyone who believes our country is stronger, fairer & more prosperous when led by Conservatives should reflect that the consequence of not changing will be to hand the country to others who do not share those values. Today’s decision is change or lose. I will be voting for change
I will be voting (by proxy) today in full support of the Prime Minister. He delivered Brexit. He secured Covid vaccines freeing us from lockdowns earlier.
PM getting on with the job of tackling illegal immigration and Levelling Up.
Boris has my full confidence.
Never in my lifetime have we had a Prime Minister who has faced so much adversity and has got the big calls right.
From Brexit to Covid to support for Ukraine.
Boris has steered the ship. #BackBoris
Mission accomplished #GTFC
Well done @jstockwood @DebbieCGF & everyone at @officialgtfc
Paul Hurst - well done sir
Cracking match. Back in @EFL where we belong. Well done all at #GTFC #utm #grimsby
Wishing #GTFC the best today. Unfortunately due to illness, I’m unable to travel to the match but will be watching on TV. Let’s hope we get that win and promotion 🤞. I see Diana Ross was wearing our colours at the concert last night, so I’m taking that as a good omen! #UTM
Further details on today's excellent announcement.
Alongside the action we’ve already taken this year today's measures will ensure:
The vast majority of households receive £550.
Pensioners receive £850.
And almost all of the eight million most vulnerable households will receive support of at least £1,200.

The floating offshore wind market is set to boom - I want more parts made in the UK.
Today I’ve opened a new £160m fund to upgrade British ports so we can land those manufacturers.
Great for clean, home-grown energy, but also for jobs and growth 🇬🇧

Read my letter and the questions that Sir Keir Starmer must answer 👇
Here is the official moment that my Marriage Bill, which I have campaigned on for over 5 years, has passed through all its parliamentary stages and become an Act of Parliament.

Friday's Mail: Labour's lockdown lies and hypocrisy #TomorrowsPapersToday #DailyMail #Mail
The rules and the way they are interpreted should apply equally to the Prime Minister, @BorisJohnson, & to those who seek that office like @Keir_Starmer
And they should be applied equally by the police, whether @metpoliceuk or @DurhamPolice

As India celebrates its 75th year of independence, I’m hugely optimistic about the depth of the friendship between our countries, and the security and prosperity it can deliver for our peoples for generations to come.

Such a brilliant event at @NHM_London last night to launch our Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy 🌍🌳♻️
Great to be joined by so many incredible ambassadors.

Many people have contacted me about the use of St James Hotel for illegal migrants. I intervened as soon as I found out about the plans. Ministers agreed with me that it is an inappropriate location and have now withdrawn the plan. A good result for #Grimsby
.@FelicityBuchan says Labour briefings that Tory MPs who were warned they would pay the price for not backing the motion was “is threatening bullying toxic talk”
The government must do everything it can to deal with the cost of living challenges faced by people in the UK.
That’s what the Prime Minister told MPs tonight and he was completely right.
Together we will get on with the job and focus on the people’s priorities.
JUST ANNOUNCED: The UK has signed a ground-breaking new migration partnership with Rwanda to deter dangerous and illegal journeys to the UK.
The New Plan for Immigration promised bold action.
Today we’re delivering a key part of that.

With the unemployment rate returning to the lowest we’ve seen in nearly 50 years, it’s clear our #PlanForJobs has worked-protecting livelihoods & business throughout the pandemic. @DWP we’re doing all we can in our JCPs with our #WaytoWork scheme & supporting people to progress https://twitter.com/ONS/status/1513759342645891072

I am so horrified that someone could even contemplate saying such things, let alone say them
I am deeply concerned by NUS antisemitism, including the remarks of the new President and the previous suggestions that Jewish students should be 'segregated'. Students deserve better from their representative organisation.

At a handshake distance. @BorisJohnson and @ZelenskyyUa walked through the center of Kyiv and talked to ordinary Kyivans. This is what democracy looks like. This is what courage looks like. This is what true friendship between peoples and between nations looks like.
Great to hear the exciting plans from @RWE_UK. Investment means high skilled jobs in #Grimsby
A pleasure to welcome @lia_nici and @MartinVickers to the Triton Knoll O&M base this week to talk about our future investment plans.
RWE’s Grimsby Hub will be a state-of-the-art specialist base for major offshore wind component exchanges & repairs on our North Sea wind farms
A minister (for the first time?) welcomes the idea that fewer people might go to university in 10 years. As a former university lecturer (Kings College London + Leicester), @alexburghart, skills minister, knows some undergraduates would be better served doing an apprenticeship.
@KMHolmes97 @UKParlEducation It was a pleasure to have discussions with such well informed students.
Congratulations to the 152,000+ young people who have started in a Kickstart job since the #Kickstart Scheme began in Sep 2020
Each one a new opportunity for people to gain the vital skills they need to become the workforce of the future

We’re delivering our promise to match NICs and income-tax thresholds in full, this year.
It's the biggest single personal tax cut in over a decade.
70% of all workers will have their taxes cut by more than the amount they’ll pay through the new NHS & Care Levy.
From July, people will be able to earn £12,570 a year without paying any income tax or National Insurance.
It’s a £6bn personal tax cut for 30 million people in the UK.
It’s worth over £330 a year and is the largest increase in a basic rate threshold – ever.👇
