The UK is a firm and enduring ally of Ukraine and a supporter of Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and integrity.
It is vital that Russia steps back and chooses a path of diplomacy.

Travelling to Kyiv today to meet President @ZelenskyyUa for talks.
As a friend and a democratic partner, the UK will continue to uphold Ukraine's sovereignty in the face of those who seek to destroy it.

Levelling up means giving all young people, no matter their background, the skills they need to realise their potential.
So we’re targeting intensive support to 55 Education Investment Areas, raising school standards and helping children to succeed no matter where they live. twitter.com/nadhimzahawi/s…

A year ago the military junta seized power in Myanmar, trampling upon democracy.
The UK stands with the people of Myanmar in the face of brutal military violence, a humanitarian crisis, and the detention of political opponents.
Freedom and democracy must be restored.

Two years on from Brexit, we have taken back control of our money, our borders and our laws.
And we’re building back better from Covid, with one of the fastest vaccine rollouts in Europe.
657
We’re going further and faster to maximise the benefits of Brexit 🇬🇧
658
It’s two years since we left the EU, taking back control of our money, borders and laws.
Fantastic to be at the opening of Tilbury2, which will drive investment & create skilled jobs.
We’re maximising the benefits of Brexit and will bring forward a Brexit Freedoms Bill. 🇬🇧

Two years ago today, we Got Brexit Done 🇬🇧

Earlier this week, I was briefed by our defence chiefs on the situation on Ukraine’s border.
The picture is increasingly concerning – I continue to urge Russia to engage in negotiations and avoid a reckless and catastrophic invasion.

Tomorrow marks a tragic day in our history, the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. This was one of the darkest days of the Troubles. We must learn from the past, reconcile, and build a peaceful future for people in Northern Ireland.

As we come out of the pandemic our message is clear: we are focused on the big issues that matter in people’s lives.
So it was fantastic to visit Anglesey yesterday to see some of the brilliant ways we are levelling up in North Wales and right across the UK.

This #HolocaustMemorialDay it was a privilege to hear the testimony of Manfred Goldberg BEM, who survived the horrors of the Holocaust.
We must conserve memories of the Holocaust, banish any complacency & take action to stamp out antisemitism in this country.

I'm appalled by this despicable footage, and I thank police for making a swift arrest.
This attack is a terrible reminder, on Holocaust Memorial Day, that such prejudice is not consigned to history, but remains a very real problem in society. We must stamp out antisemitism. twitter.com/StopAntisemite…

There is no place in our society for the mockery and abuse of people living with dwarfism, or any other disability or condition. Thank you for meeting me Will, and I’m wishing you every success with your campaign.

Yesterday I met with @will_perryy, who represented @ParalympicsGB in the 2020 Paralympics and is now campaigning for a kinder and more understanding society for people with dwarfism. It was heart-rending to hear about the bullying and abuse that he has experienced.

The success of our booster rollout, the tireless work of the NHS and the amazing public response means Plan B measures have ended in England today.
The pandemic is not over – everyone should remain cautious, and I urge anyone who hasn’t yet got their vaccine to come forward.

The UK and India are tied by bonds that span over decades, through generations and across some of the greatest challenges we have faced.
I want to send my best wishes from the UK to the people of India, and to all British Indians, on India’s Republic Day 🇬🇧🇮🇳

Wishing our Aussie friends and allies a very Happy Australia Day!
Our historic trade deal last year marked a new dawn between our nations – underpinned by our shared history and common values. I look forward to strengthening this in the years ahead.

If President Putin were to choose the path of bloodshed and destruction in Ukraine, he must realise that it would be both tragic and futile.

We were the first nation in the world to administer a vaccine, and one of the fastest in Europe to roll it out.
We kept open this winter while others locked down.
And we’re the first to emerge from Omicron because we delivered the fastest booster campaign in Europe.
673
Confronted by the nation’s biggest challenge since the Second World War and the worst pandemic since 1918, any government would get some things wrong.
But this government got the big things right.

And it is because of the extraordinary booster campaign – together with the way the public have responded to the Plan B measures – that we can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire.

We’re the first to emerge from the Omicron wave, because we focused our NHS on delivering the fastest booster campaign in Europe.
