As a father to daughters, I cannot imagine a world in which they’re denied an education.
The women of Afghanistan have so much to offer. Denying them access to university is a grave step backwards.
The world is watching. We will judge the Taliban by their actions.

Great to meet @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets today.
Farming is the lifeblood of our nation. As Prime Minister I will always back our farmers and make sure they have what they need to produce more high-quality, affordable British food.

Over the last few days Ukraine has suffered one of the worst waves of missile strikes.
Ukrainians remain undeterred. The UK in turn will continue to provide them with support to defend themselves.
Today, we’re announcing new demining and anti-explosives kit. twitter.com/DefenceHQ/stat…

I am saddened to learn of the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
He was a great theologian whose UK visit in 2010 was an historic moment for both Catholics and non-Catholics throughout our country.
My thoughts are with Catholic people in the UK and around the world today.

I’m so proud of this country and I can’t wait for 2023.
Happy New Year! 🇬🇧
