This government will always act to protect the most vulnerable in our society.
That’s why we are supporting around eight million of the lowest income households, with three instalments of the £900 Cost of Living Payment over 2023-24. twitter.com/DWPgovuk/statu…

1/ Growing our economy.
Supporting people with the cost of living.
Strengthening our global security.
Here’s a re-cap of my week⬇️
403
We're working round the clock to deliver further support to individuals and families whose jobs and incomes will be affected by COVID-19.
We are in this together, and will all have to play our part which is why today’s meeting with business groups and unions was so important.

🆕We’re fast-tracking our plans to scrap the reading tax. From tomorrow, VAT will no longer be paid on e-publications.
This could help slash the cost of e-books and newspapers making reading more accessible during the lockdown. gov.uk/government/new…

Cleaner energy. Cheaper energy. Creating jobs and growing the economy.
That is how we will power up Britain.

@HouseofCommons @UKParliament @PrifWeinidog @ediramaal @netanyahu And a personal highlight: Meeting @englandcricket. So great to catch up with our T20 Men’s World Cup champions.
I certainly wasn’t the only mega fan on the field...👀@theresa_may

Be in no doubt, the sanctions announced today are incredibly severe and designed to undermine Putin’s regime👇

Today the bidding process opens to establish at least seven new Freeports.
As we embrace new opportunities as an independent trading nation, Freeports will create national hubs for innovation, trade and commerce, levelling up communities across the UK. bit.ly/2Uwenid

Our Budget for Growth in 60 seconds👇
412
1/ We're increasing the support to the self-employed from 40% of trading profits to 80% for November.
SEISS is calculated over 3 months so this increases the total grant from 40% to 55% of trading profits for November to January and the max grant increases to £5,160.

Congratulations to Derby – a city which has a historic connection with the railways.
It became home to the iconic Midland Railway in 1844.
And today it’s the new HQ for Great British Railways, driving growth and investment to a city already brimming with the best talent. twitter.com/Mark_J_Harper/…

An enormous honour to meet Arek.
His message is a powerful reminder of our duty to remember the truth of the Holocaust and to fight antisemitism and hatred of all forms.
This #HolocaustMemorialDay, please listen to his words. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Good to hear Bounce Back Loans are being delivered quickly to the people who need them. twitter.com/Hulstone/statu…

We are extending furlough until the end of April 2021.
We will continue to pay 80% towards wages of unworked hours - giving businesses and employees across the UK certainty into the New Year.

It's great that so many people are enjoying our Eat Out to Help Out scheme.
1.4 million hospitality workers have been furloughed – the highest proportions of any sector so it's important we support them as we reopen the economy safely.

This year's honourees represent the very best of public service and community spirit right across the UK.
Congratulations to all recipients. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

The government needs to reflect the priorities of the British people and be designed to deliver for them.
These changes will focus teams on the issues that will build a better future for our children & grandchildren. twitter.com/10DowningStree…
421
See below for a list of the businesses and venues that will be reopening from #4thofJuly.
Hopefully, I'll have a photo outside all of them by the end of the summer.

3/ We’re bringing in mandatory reporting for adults working with children.
If they suspect or identify that child is being abused, they must speak out.
Authorities can stop the abuse, put perpetrators behind bars and get victims the support they need much sooner.
423
Constructive meeting with @PrifWeinidog earlier.
Today’s announcement of the new Anglesey and Celtic Freeports demonstrates that when the UK and Welsh Governments work together, we can get on and deliver for people across Wales 🏴
424
I’m sad that my colleague and friend @OliverDowden took the decision to resign this morning.
We all take responsibility for the results and I’m determined to continue working to tackle the cost of living, including delivering NICs changes saving 30 million people on average £330
425
Growing the economy is one of the best ways to help with the cost of living and that’s why I’m pleased today’s figures show the UK economy is continuing to grow.
The economy is now bigger than it was before Covid hit, and growing faster than the US, Germany, France, and Italy.
