Our country has a proud history of helping those in need. We will prove that once again through our support for the Afghan people we’ve welcomed to the UK. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Tonight’s UN Security Council resolution, led by the UK with our allies, makes clear that the international community stands with Afghans.
There can be no return to repression or terror. We will push as one voice for safe passage, humanitarian access & respect for human rights.

My letter to all those who served in Afghanistan.
Whether you are still serving or a veteran, a loved-one, a relation or a friend, you all played your part and you should feel immense pride.

On the end of military operations in Afghanistan.

Operation PITTING is a mission unlike anything we have seen in our lifetime, helping 15,000 people to safety in just under two weeks.
I want to thank everyone involved and the thousands of those who served over the last two decades. You can be proud of what you have achieved. twitter.com/BWallaceMP/sta…

This has been an operation of unprecedented pace and scale. Thank you for everyone who has contributed to the amazing effort. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

The tragic loss of two UK nationals and the child of a UK national underlines the urgency of our evacuation effort and the bravery of everyone involved.
We will continue to move heaven and earth to get people out and to safety.
1033
The UK has always been a generous and compassionate country, and I’m proud of how our officials, Armed Forces, charities and local communities have responded in the last few weeks to the situation in Afghanistan.
1034
Operation PITTING has been evacuating people from Afghanistan at an unprecedented scale and pace.
Thank you to everyone involved in this operation. We continue to do everything we can to help those to whom we owe a debt of honour.
1035
I utterly condemn the barbaric terrorist attack in Kabul in which Afghans and members of the US military lost their lives.
The threat of terrorist attack is one of the constraints we’ve been operating under, but our evacuation effort continues with over 12,000 extracted so far.
1036
An incredible achievement. Congratulations @DameSarahStorey! twitter.com/ParalympicsGB/…

I'm very proud of our incredible Armed Forces who are working flat out to support the evacuation operation in Kabul. twitter.com/10DowningStree…
1038
Today the @G7 committed to work together on the immediate evacuation effort to ensure this continues safely.
We also agreed we must have a shared roadmap for engaging with the Taliban that aims to preserve the progress of the last 20 years.

Good luck to our brilliant and inspirational Paralympians! 🇬🇧 twitter.com/Tokyo2020/stat…

I want to wish our brilliant Paralympians the very best of luck as the Tokyo Paralympic Games kick off today.
We’re all willing you on. Go for Gold @ParalympicsGB! 🇬🇧
1041
We will continue to use every humanitarian and diplomatic lever to safeguard human rights and the gains made in Afghanistan over the last two decades.
The Taliban will be judged by their deeds and not their words.
1042
Today I will hold an emergency @G7 meeting to coordinate our response to the crisis in Afghanistan.
I will ask our friends and allies to stand by the Afghan people and step up support for refugees and humanitarian aid.
1043
Young people continue to be hospitalised with COVID-19.
Many of those becoming seriously ill are unvaccinated.
If you haven't done so already, please get your jabs as soon as you can.

I will convene G7 leaders on Tuesday for urgent talks on the situation in Afghanistan. It is vital that the international community works together to ensure safe evacuations, prevent a humanitarian crisis and support the Afghan people to secure the gains of the last 20 years.

An update on the situation in Afghanistan.
1046
Today I met a few of the Afghan former staff who have been resettled in the UK with their families.
They worked side-by-side with us and we stood by them and ensured their safety.
We're working tirelessly to help those in the country to whom we owe a debt of obligation.
1047
We owe the brave people who worked side-by-side with us in Afghanistan a debt of gratitude.
I’m proud to see our resettlement scheme welcoming Afghans safely to our shores.
We’re working to get as many people out of Afghanistan as possible in the coming days.
1048
Good news that @MHRAgovuk has approved the first therapeutic treatment designed specifically for COVID-19.
Alongside our life-saving vaccine programme, this will be an important weapon in fighting COVID, particularly for those who are immunocompromised.

We must help the people of Afghanistan choose the best of all their possible futures.
That is the critical task on which this government – working alongside our friends and partners around the world – is now urgently engaged.
1050
We have an enduring commitment to the Afghan people, and we will honour it.
A new resettlement scheme will create a safe and legal route for those in most need to come and live safely in the UK.
