Here’s a rundown of everything I’ve been working on this week 🧵

It's right that we reward our hard-working NHS staff.
Today's pay offer is affordable for taxpayers and continues to deliver on my promise to halve inflation.
I'm pleased staff can now get back to providing world-class care for patients. Just like they do here @StGeorgesTrust.

A busy week all round, but it fills me with pride to get out and see some of the brilliant work going on across the country.

As the world becomes more volatile and competition between states becomes more intense, the UK must be ready to stand our ground.
We’re investing in our armed forces for the long-term so we’re ready for the challenges of today and of the future.

I have seen first-hand the contribution made by ethnic minority communities to Britain’s history. That is why I backed the “We Too Built Britain” campaign and requested that the @RoyalMintUK introduced this new coin to celebrate it.

Parliament stands taller because of her service.

Thanks to the team for welcoming me.
