We're seeing the significant impact of coronavirus on our country and our economy.
The action we’ve taken to provide lifelines that help people and businesses through the economic disruption will ensure our recovery is as strong and as swift as possible.

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.

I can’t wait to get back to the pub...and I don’t even drink.
Good news for business today and glad we’ll all have a chance to enjoy the summer safely. #4thofJuly

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.

Illegal wildlife trade is a transnational organised crime, generating billions of criminal proceeds each year.
I’m proud @hmtreasury has co-authored a report focusing on the financial aspects of this crime and how to combat wildlife-related money laundering. twitter.com/hmtreasury/sta…

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.

1/ We’re launching a new programme to give hundreds of thousands of young people the best possible chance of getting on and getting a job.

2/ The Kickstart Scheme will directly pay employers to create new jobs for any 16-24 year old at risk of long-term unemployment.
We will pay young people’s wages for six months, plus an amount to cover overheads. That means, for a 24-year-old, the grant will be around £6,500.
