In 2019 we promised to recruit 20,000 additional police officers in England and Wales to make our streets safer and protect communities.
Today, I’m pleased to say we have delivered that promise.

To protect our people and our allies we need to stay at the cutting-edge of advancements in defence.
That is why PM @kishida230, PM @GiorgiaMeloni and I have today agreed the development of the next-generation of combat aircraft – creating jobs and bolstering our security.

More trade, lower tariffs, a growing economy.
This is what we can achieve when we unleash the benefits of Brexit.

1/ One of our greatest strengths as a country is our civil society. The local charities who provide so much compassion, care and community to the most vulnerable in our country. You have not been forgotten.
Today I am announcing £750m of funding for the charity sector. 👇

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.

Last night I was honoured to present the 2,000th Point of Light award to @Rob7Burrow.
Rob's work shining a light on Motor Neurone Disease and funding research and care is nothing short of inspirational. It will change what it means to be diagnosed with #MND.
Thank you, Rob.

I am proud that we have protected more than 900,000 jobs and tens of thousands of businesses in Scotland.
Year after year, Scotland also benefits from levels of public spending substantially above the United Kingdom average, with a Union dividend of £1,941 per person. twitter.com/hmtreasury/sta…

As a GP, my Dad was an occupational health adviser for @jlandpartners so it felt good to be back today to help them prepare for shoppers.
Reopening retail on Monday is the next stage of us all slowly getting our lives back to normal in a careful, measured and safe way.

Like @michelledonelan I believe free press is a cornerstone of our democracy. In a world where aggressors like Putin spread lies and sew division, trusted and reliable news media is more vital than ever.
Proud to support #JournalismMatters week.

My priority now is to protect as many jobs as possible and for those who unfortunately lose their jobs, to make sure that the support is there to help them find new jobs and hopefully better jobs as quickly as possible.

James Brokenshire was a man of public service and the highest integrity. He was a valued friend and colleague and will be deeply missed.
My thoughts are with his family on this incredibly sad day.

I spoke to @AndrewMarr9 on @BBCPolitics this morning about the impact of coronavirus on the UK economy. I also outlined what we’ve done and will do to help people and businesses recover.

2/ For the first time in our history, the British government is going to step in and help pay people’s wages.
Government grants will cover 80% of the salary of retained workers, up to a total of £2,500 a month, that’s above UK median earnings level.

Tomorrow after PMQs I will update Parliament on the next phase of our recovery from coronavirus. #PlanForJobs

I am appalled by the disgraceful shooting of an off-duty police officer in Omagh tonight.
My thoughts are with the officer and his family. There is no place in our society for those who seek to harm public servants protecting communities.

📍This morning I visited Cromarty Firth Port, one of two new freeports being built in Scotland.
These freeports will unlock investment, level up and deliver on our promise to grow the economy.
