Sir David Amess was a beloved colleague, public servant and friend who championed the city of Southend in everything he did.
My thoughts today remain with Julia, the Amess family and all those who knew and loved him.

We cannot allow our country to be dependent on Russian oil & gas.
An important part of the British Energy Security Strategy is our plan to deliver eight new nuclear reactors, the equivalent of one a year, powering millions of homes with clean, safe, and reliable nuclear energy.
437
Nuclear is a reliable, safe and constant source of clean energy. It’s absolutely crucial to weaning us off fossil fuels, including Russian oil and gas.
Hinkley Point C will generate low-carbon electricity for six million homes.

For years, governments have dodged the big decisions on energy, but not this one.
Our Energy Security Strategy sets out our plans to make British energy cleaner, more affordable and more secure.

The discovery of more mass graves outside Kyiv is sickening. The UK will not stand by whilst this indiscriminate and unforgivable slaughter takes place.
We are working to ensure those responsible are held to account.
We will not rest until justice is done.
446
73 years ago today the founding members of @NATO came together, united by a shared belief in liberty and sovereignty. That conviction endures today.
The people of Ukraine are fighting for that same freedom. We will continue to work with our allies to ensure Putin fails.
447
Putin will never break the spirit of Ukraine’s people or conquer their homeland.
Ukraine will rise again and take her place among free and sovereign nations once more.
🇬🇧🇺🇦

I will do everything in my power to starve Putin’s war machine. We are stepping up our sanctions and military support, as well as bolstering our humanitarian support package to help those in need on the ground. 3/4

The UK has been at the forefront of supporting the @IntlCrimCourt’s investigation into atrocities committed in Ukraine, and @DominicRaab has authorised additional financial support and the deployment of specialist investigators – we will not rest until justice is served. 4/4

No denial or disinformation from the Kremlin can hide what we all know to be the truth – Putin is desperate, his invasion is failing, and Ukraine’s resolve has never been stronger. 2/4
