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.

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.

I said we would stop the boats.
Today we have taken a big step forward to do just that, working closely with our French allies and friends. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Close neighbours. Great friends. Historic allies. 🇬🇧🇫🇷
It's great to be in Paris @EmmanuelMacron.
82
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.

I’m proud that today we’re levelling the playing field for the next generation of @Lionesses.
That means:
➡️Putting £600 million into school sports
➡️Giving girls access to the same sports as boys in school
➡️Delivering a minimum of two hours of PE every week

Last year the @Lionesses changed the game and changed our country.
On #IWD2023 I am pleased to say from now on every girl will have the opportunity to do the same sports as boys in school – with a minimum of 2 hours of PE.
So future generations can bring it home. twitter.com/Lionesses/stat…

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.
86
Today we are introducing new laws that mean if you come to the UK illegally you will be banned from ever re-entering our country.
This is how we will break the business model of the people smugglers; this is how we will take back control of our borders.
87
If you come to the UK illegally:
➡️ You can’t claim asylum
➡️ You can’t benefit from our modern slavery protections
➡️ You can’t make spurious human rights claims
➡️ You can’t stay

The Illegal Migration Bill ensures that if you come to the UK illegally you can’t stay.
People must know that coming here illegally will result in their detention and swift removal – once they do, they will not come, and the boats will stop.
89
Over 45,000 people illegally crossed the Channel in small boats last year.
That is unfair to those who come here legally and unfair on the British people who play by the rules.
Today’s Illegal Migration Bill introduces new laws to stop the boats.

I will be holding a Stop the Boats press conference today at 5.30pm where you can hear how we’ll go further than ever before to tackle illegal migration.
92
I visited Dover today to speak to staff working day and night to stop the boats.
The Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman and I have introduced the Illegal Migration Bill so that people know if they come here illegally they can’t stay.

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.

Today we've announced a bold new plan to make the UK a beacon of science, technology, and innovation.
This will help deliver one of my five priorities to grow our economy – creating new jobs for decades to come. twitter.com/michelledonela…

Congratulations to @officialABAT on his victory in Nigeria.
The UK-Nigeria relationship remains strong. I look forward to working together to grow our security and trade ties, opening up opportunities for businesses and creating prosperity in both our countries.

Great to be in Belfast today speaking to businesses on the Windsor Framework.
This agreement is written in the language of laws and treaties. But really, it’s about much more than that.
It’s about stability in Northern Ireland. It’s about real people and real businesses.
