Great to see @asda returning to majority UK ownership for the first time in two decades today.
The new owners have already committed to investing over £1 billion in the next three years and increasing the proportion of UK-based suppliers. I wish them the best of luck. twitter.com/BBCNews/status…

Met some brilliant students at Erasmus Darwin Academy yesterday.
In difficult economic circumstances, we are investing more in education – because giving our children the best start is the key to unlocking opportunity right across our country.

One of the first things I did as Chancellor was hang a picture of Nigel Lawson above my desk.
He was a transformational Chancellor and an inspiration to me and many others.
My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

Family is important to me - it's the love of my wife and children that sustain me in the most difficult moments in this job.
Today Akshata and I visited families and staff at the St Austell Family Hub in Cornwall, where we saw first-hand the life changing support they offer.

My constituency is home to hundreds of beef and lamb farmers and I am committed to supporting the fantastic industry they represent.
People’s food choices are their own. I would lead a government that champions our livestock farmers at home and abroad.

More trade, lower tariffs, a growing economy.
This is what we can achieve when we unleash the benefits of Brexit.

A pleasure to welcome @POTUS to Belfast, 25 years on from the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.

My focus is on building a better future for people here and right across the United Kingdom.

Giving children the highest possible standard of education is the single most important reason I came into politics.
It's the best economic, social and moral policy there is.
I’m determined to support good teaching, improve attainment & drive excellence across our schools.

The PM has won the confidence vote and now it’s time to move forward.
Tomorrow we get back to work growing the economy and delivering better public services.

These are tough times and as I’ve said before, we can’t protect every business and every household. The OBR today have been clear that if we had not taken the actions we have, the situation would be much worse.
In other words, our plan is the right one.

Britain is a global leader when it comes to innovation. Our start-ups and businesses driving research and development are one of our great economic strengths.
That’s why today I’m launching a billion-pound support package for innovative firms hit by coronavirus. #FutureFund
