In 2016 the British people voted to leave the EU, and 3 years ago we delivered on that historic vote.
Since then, we’ve made huge strides in harnessing these Brexit freedoms.

In conjunction with our allies, I am taking immediate steps to impose new financial sanctions on the Central Bank of Russia, Russian National Wealth Fund, and the Ministry of Finance.
We will continue to support the Ukrainian people in bringing this unjust war to an end.

Looking forward to it 👍 twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/…

I was honoured to be at the Cenotaph this morning to show my gratitude for the brave men and women who sacrificed so much in the service of their country.
You will never be forgotten. #RemembranceSunday

Congratulations @AnnelieseDodds on your appointment as Shadow Chancellor. It’s never been more important to work together and I’d like to invite you to an economic briefing (on zoom) to discuss the measures we are putting in place to protect jobs and business through coronavirus.

1/ I have decided today to cut stamp duty.
Right now, there is no stamp duty on transactions below £125,000 (or £300,000 for first-time buyers). I am increasing the threshold to £500,000. #PlanForJobs

The partnership the UK and France share runs deep.
From tackling illegal migration to driving growth in our economies to defending our common security, when we work together we all benefit.
It's in that spirit I'm looking forward to meeting
@EmmanuelMacron today.
234
Today I hosted the UK’s first Elective Recovery Taskforce – set up to tackle backlogs in the NHS.
I am working hard with @SteveBarclay @willquince and NHS experts to reduce wait times for patients ⤵️

One of the joys of my job is being able to meet some exceptional people.
Just like Dáithí Mac Gabhann. I gave him a Point of Light Award today for his tireless work campaigning to change the law for 'opt-out' organ donation in Northern Ireland.
Dáithí's Law will save lives.

Halve inflation. Grow the economy. Reduce debt. Cut waiting lists. Stop the boats.
Your priorities are my priorities. I will work night and day to deliver them and build a better future.

1/ We have just agreed the biggest trade deal since Brexit.
Joining 11 other countries in the Indo-Pacific, it’s set to boost the UK economy by £1.8bn.
Here’s how the CPTPP will deliver on our pledge to grow the economy 🧵

It’s Friday afternoon. Here’s a quick recap of my week 👇 [1/6]
239
From our new Energy Partnership to tackling illegal migration, the UK and France are looking forward to the future – bound by bonds of family, friendship, and solidarity.
Thank you @EmmanuelMacron for your gracious welcome. I’m looking forward to what we can achieve together.

2/ I would close all 30 of China’s Confucius Institutes in the UK - the highest number in the world.
Almost all UK government spending on Mandarin language teaching at school is channelled through university-based Confucius Institutes, thereby promoting Chinese soft power.
241
1/ I’m proud of what we’ve done so far, but I know that many self-employed people are deeply anxious about the support available for them.
So to support those who work for themselves, today I am announcing a new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme.
242
Thank you to everyone who’s worked hard to get their stores open safely today.
As our highstreets reawaken and non-essential retail opens for business, they’ll need your help. Get out there, shop safely and give your local businesses the support they need.
243
People should be able to get the health services they need at a location convenient to them.
That’s why Community Diagnostic Centres like here in Oldham are vital.
We’re delivering extra tests to diagnose conditions quicker and cut waiting times - one of our five priorities.
244
10/ We want to look back on this time and remember how, in the face of a generation-defining moment, we undertook a collective national effort - and stood together.
It’s on all of us.
245
As the MP for a military community in North Yorkshire, I know how much the men and women of our Armed Forces do for us as a nation.
I am so proud to pay tribute to them for their bravery, hard work and dedication in keeping us all safe – they truly are the best of us.
246
Great to be in Northern Ireland and join leaders at Stormont last night, to build relationships and discuss how to best deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.
I'm here in Belfast today meeting fantastic businesses and local communities.

Rest in peace Doddie Weir OBE.

The @JEFnations are some of Ukraine’s closest friends and allies.
We know that their security is our security.
The resolve around the table today was clear: we will continue to #StandWithUkraine

If you come to the UK illegally you will be stopped from making late claims and attempts to frustrate your removal.
You will be removed in weeks, either to your own country if it is safe to do so, or to a safe third country like Rwanda.
