The UK owes all ex-servicewomen and men a tremendous debt.
In my budget on Wednesday I’ll announce that employers will no longer pay National Insurance Contributions for ex-forces personnel for the first year of their work.
They do a job we help them get a job #Budget2020

If you or someone you know is suffering from #DomesticAbuse, isolation rules do not apply.
Police response & support services remain available. Find support at gov.uk/domestic-abuse or call 999 if you’re in immediate danger.
At home shouldn’t mean at risk. #YouAreNotAlone

If we let our farmers down, we will be rightly punished at the ballot box at the general election.
Our farmers are the lifeblood of our nation.
As PM, I would make sure that they are supported to underpin the food security that is so important to us all. twitter.com/Ready4Rishi/st…

We have seen what can happen when global energy supplies are disrupted.
That’s why we need an energy revolution.
Our Energy Security Plan will drive down households bills long-term, grow our economy and boost energy security - powering Britain, from Britain.

Today we remember all those who fought for freedom and peace and whose bravery helped bring the Second World War to an end.

Today @BorisJohnson has announced a further £175m of UK aid for Ukraine which will be provided directly to the Ukrainian Government.
This brings the total UK support announced during this crisis to around £400m.
514
This isn’t just about kickstarting our country’s economy – it is an opportunity to kickstart the careers of thousands of young people who could otherwise be left behind as a result of the pandemic.
The Kickstart Scheme launches today: gov.uk/government/new…

Today I pledged £500m every single year to tackle potholes.
That’s enough to fill 50 million potholes by the end of the Parliament. #Budget2020

1/ Our job retention scheme has now supported more than 8 million jobs and over a million businesses.
Today I announced the final phase of this eight-month scheme. This thread outlines how we’ll introduce flexible furloughing in the coming months.👇

Enjoyed speaking with India's Finance Minister @nsitharaman today.
Already over 800 Indian companies in the UK employ more than 110,000 people – and by strengthening economic ties between UK & India, we can create and secure even more jobs.🇬🇧🇮🇳 gov.uk/government/new…

In 5 days time we will lay the foundations for a decade of growth. #Budget2020

5/ To help businesses keep people in work, I'm deferring the next quarter of VAT payments.
No business will pay VAT from now to mid June. You'll have until the end of the financial year to repay those bills. That's an over £30bn injection to businesses equivalent to 1.5% of GDP
520
Over the last year we've helped the average household with £1,300 of support for their energy bills.
Now we're extending that support.
This is possible because we made tough but fair decisions in November and are taxing the wartime windfall profits of big energy companies. twitter.com/Jeremy_Hunt/st…
521
7/ I’m also strengthening the safety net for self-employed people by suspending the minimum income floor.
That means self-employed people can now access, in full, Universal Credit at a rate equivalent to Statutory Sick Pay for employees.

As chancellor, I introduced the largest cut to fuel duty in a generation, and as prime minister I will go further so that we stop the war on motorists once and for all.

The UK will, subject to market conditions, issue our first ever Sovereign Green Bond next year.
This will be the first in a series of new issuances, as we build out a “green curve” over the coming years helping to fund projects to tackle climate change and create green jobs.

Really enjoyed my first trip to Scotland as Chancellor last week.
It was fantastic to catch up with new @ScotTories leader @Douglas4Moray to talk about Scotland’s economic recovery. Luckily this photo was taken about 30 minutes before it started pouring with rain at Wemyss Bay. twitter.com/Douglas4Moray/…

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero will focus on giving the UK cheaper, cleaner, more secure sources of energy – cutting bills, cutting emissions, and cutting our dependence on international energy supplies, like those of Putin’s Russia. twitter.com/Conservatives/…
