As Chancellor I put in place a significant package of support, but today we can see the situation has deteriorated so as Prime Minister I would go further.
My plans will support people with the cost of living challenges and grip inflation.

In many ways, Brexit was about changing our mindset.
It wasn’t just about what we couldn’t do, but what we didn’t do.

The film & TV industry supports over 180,000 jobs contributing £12bn+ to the economy annually but most of this is paused due to a lack of covid-related insurance.
Today we fix that with a new insurance policy helping people in the Arts get back to work. bit.ly/351kujz

4/ I’ve taken steps to make the scheme deliverable, and fair.
It’s only open to those with trading profits up to £50,000, who make a majority of their income from self-employment. To minimise fraud only those already in self-employment, who have a tax return for 2019 can apply.

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…

Great to see the UK’s fintech sector outpacing the rest of Europe with more than 10% of deals worldwide now landing on UK soil.
What's more, investment outside London is accelerating rapidly. $696m was invested outside the capital compared to $206m in 2020. twitter.com/CityAM/status/…

3/ You’ll be able to claim these grants and continue to do business.
We’re covering the same amount of income as we are for furloughed employees, who also get a grant worth 80%. That’s unlike almost any other country, making our scheme one of the most generous in the world.

We’re making the UK a Science Superpower – funding the fastest increase in R&D spending ever.
As part of that, we’re upping core science funding by £1.1bn, fully funding Horizon Europe, increasing Innovate UK’s budget, and funding £800m for ARIA and £1.7bn for Net Zero R&D.

The employee will keep their job. Anyone who as of yesterday is employed is eligible.

I know @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon and many others have been campaigning for years for the BAME people who built Britain to be recognised on legal tender.
Yesterday I wrote to The Royal Mint urging them to consider how to celebrate the achievements of BAME individuals on UK coinage.
