.@TheSun’s campaign to help our NHS to roll out the UK vaccination programme as fast as possible is a fantastic initiative.
The British public volunteered in droves to support the NHS last year and I have no doubt they will be determined to help again.

Proud that the UK is taking over the 2021 Presidency of the G7 today. Hosting both the G7 Summit and @COP26 will make this a hugely important year for Global Britain and I look forward to welcoming our friends and allies as we beat COVID and build back better from the pandemic.

There will be plenty who will be only too happy to say goodbye to the grimness of 2020.
But this was also the year when we rediscovered a spirit of togetherness, of community.
In 2021 we have our freedom in our hands and it is up to us to make the most of it. Happy New Year!

Our NHS staff are always there for us in difficult times, this year perhaps more than ever, where they have been working heroically to save lives during the pandemic. It's fantastic news that 13,313 more nurses and 6,030 more doctors have joined our NHS to help care for others.

Very sad to hear the news of Margaret Tebbit’s death. She was a brave woman who showed enormous fortitude in her suffering after the 1984 Brighton bombing. My thoughts are with Norman and their family at this difficult time.

Fantastic to visit the @WeAreOpenreach training centre in Bolton as they announce thousands of new jobs and apprenticeships.
Their work has helped us stay in touch with our loved ones during the pandemic and will help level up all corners of the UK.

If you are forming a Christmas Bubble, it’s vital that from today, you minimise contact with people from outside your household.
Everyone must take personal responsibility to avoid passing the virus on to loved ones this Christmas.
