In 2019 I promised to equalise National Insurance and Income Tax starting thresholds – today we deliver on that promise.
From July people can earn £12,570 a year without paying any tax – that's £330 more in people's pockets.

An appalling tragedy. Boris survived four concentration camps & dedicated his life to ensuring the horrors of Nazism wouldn't be repeated.
Putin's claim that his invasion of Ukraine is 'de-Nazification' is a grotesque lie. Instead we're seeing the bombardment of innocent people. twitter.com/KyivIndependen…

We need to work together with partners around the world to help stabilise global energy markets, massively invest in renewable technologies and protect UK consumers.
That’s how we can stand up to Putin’s blackmail.

The ability of a free press to hold the powerful to account is fundamental to our democracy.
We must put a stop to oligarchs and the super-rich abusing our legal system to silence critics. twitter.com/MoJGovUK/statu…
