I spoke to @vonderleyen this evening on UK-EU negotiations, stressing time is short and the EU position needed to change substantially.

This week @carriesymonds & I had a wonderful chat with Christine and Chitra to support the Christmas Together Campaign.
It's been a tough year for all - a phone call makes all the difference in helping someone who is feeling lonely. Let's all give someone a bell this Christmas.
1655
This Christmas it is vital that everyone exercises the greatest possible personal responsibility. Think hard and in detail about the days ahead and whether you can do more to protect yourself and others.
A smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas.

Great news Prue! Wonderful to see so many in the UK getting vaccinated. Many thanks to the health workers who are working tirelessly to get this vaccine to people up and down the country. twitter.com/PrueLeith/stat…

As things stand we are still very far apart on key issues. There’s still a deal to be done, but the most likely thing is that we've got to be ready for Australia terms on 1st January.
Go to gov.uk/transition to get prepared.

Fantastic to see 75 nations coming together to pledge #ClimateAction today. Ultimately, our ability to protect our planet will come not from timidity or caution - but decisive ambition from all.
Looking forward to driving this forward ahead of @COP26 next year.
1660
As we today host the Climate Ambition Summit, I’m pleased to announce the UK will be ending taxpayer support for fossil fuel projects overseas.
By taking decisive #ClimateAction now, we will create the jobs of the future, drive the recovery from COVID & protect our planet.

There is a way to go in the negotiations, but it is looking very, very likely that we will have to go for an Australia-style solution.
1662
On the advice of our Chief Medical Officers after a comprehensive review of the evidence, the self-isolation period will be reduced to 10 days from Monday across the UK.
It’s essential we self-isolate when instructed to break the chain of transmission.

So sad about Barbara Windsor, so much more than a great pub landlady & Carry On star. She campaigned for the lonely and the vulnerable - and cheered the world up with her own British brand of harmless sauciness & innocent scandal. Thoughts with Scott and all her family & friends.
1664
Now is the time for the public and businesses to get ready for the Australian option on January 1st.

A pleasure to meet with Crown Prince @MohamedBinZayed today. I look forward to strengthening the close ties between our countries in a range of areas - including green technology - ahead of @COP26 next year. 🇬🇧🇦🇪 twitter.com/MohamedBinZaye…

Welcome news that we’ve secured a fantastic trade agreement with Singapore 🇬🇧🇸🇬
This is an important part of our vision of the UK trading with a network of dynamic nations across #AsiaPacific
Well done @trussliz & all those involved in the negotiations. twitter.com/trussliz/statu…

On my way to Brussels to meet @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen.
A good deal is still there to be done. But whether we agree trading arrangements resembling those of Australia or Canada, the United Kingdom will prosper mightily as an independent nation 🇬🇧

The residents of Weatherfield have entertained us for six fantastic decades with gripping storylines & characters loved by many. Coronation Street is not only a great British institution but a place where many across our country feel at home. Happy 60th Birthday @itvcorrie

It’s incredible to see the first clinically approved vaccine being given to people today, something that is happening across the whole of the United Kingdom.
1672
Today the first vaccinations in the UK against COVID-19 begin. Thank you to our NHS, to all of the scientists who worked so hard to develop this vaccine, to all the volunteers - and to everyone who has been following the rules to protect others. We will beat this together. twitter.com/NHSEngland/sta…

This evening I spoke with @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen.
We have asked our Chief Negotiators and their teams to prepare an overview of the remaining differences to be discussed in a physical meeting in Brussels in the coming days.

It was fantastic to visit some local shops in Uxbridge today, alongside our candidate for Mayor of London @ShaunBaileyUK.
Small businesses have heroically adapted to keep customers safe, and we will continue to do all we can to support them.
1675
It’s been a hard year for all of us, but especially for small businesses who have adapted to the rules to help us drive down the virus.
On #SmallBusinessSaturday ensure you get out and show your support for the millions of brilliant small businesses across the UK. #SmallBizSatUK
