Great to speak to 6 brilliant and diverse businesses earlier last week.
It’s more important than ever that we recognise the fantastic contribution small businesses make to the UK economy, and that we continue to provide support + protect jobs.

We’ve set a new target to cut emissions by at least 68% by 2030.
The fight against climate change is a global challenge and the UK is leading by example.

It’s heartbreaking that this virus has separated us from family and friends. I know it's been tough but your sacrifices have saved lives.
That's why I am delighted that visitor testing has begun in care homes, enabling people to finally be reunited with loved ones safely. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Deeply saddened to learn that four people have lost their lives in the water works explosion in Avonmouth. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families.
Thank you to the emergency services who attended the scene.

On #IDPWD2020, I pay tribute to the extraordinary contribution people living with disabilities make to this country.
Next year we will publish the most ambitious disability plan in a generation - so there are no barriers to anyone realising their full potential. #PurpleLightUp

The approval of a vaccine is a huge step towards normality, but the rules in your area have not changed.
Please keep following the restrictions to protect those around you.

Today I am proudly wearing purple to celebrate the International Day for Disabled People, which is tomorrow.
And I know that all of my colleagues will welcome the fantastic news that the MHRA has formally authorised the Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19. #PMQs

Good to be chairing Cabinet this morning. We’re continuing in our efforts to fight the virus, but we must hold out against it. We now have reason to hope that by spring, community testing and vaccines will combine to end this era of restrictions.

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember those who have died of AIDS and stand with those living with HIV today.
Our aim is to end HIV transmission by 2030 and help better the lives of HIV+ people with quick access to antiretroviral therapies and the roll out of PrEP across the country.
1691
We're preparing now so we are ready to roll out vaccines as soon as they have gone through all the safety and regulatory checks.

Warmest wishes to the Sikh community commemorating Guru Nanak #Gurpurab – the birth of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, founder of the Sikh faith.
Celebrations sadly won’t be the same this year, but I enormously appreciate the monumental effort you’ve made in helping us to fight this virus.

A very Happy #StAndrewsDay to those celebrating across the UK and around the world 🏴🇬🇧

Colombia has committed to an impressive 51% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.
Together we can build back greener. I welcome President @IvanDuque's leadership & look forward to working together ahead of the Climate Ambition Summit on 12 Dec and @COP26 in Glasgow next year.

Earlier I went to @PHE_uk Porton Down to see work on the rapid lateral flow tests that have been used in Liverpool to find asymptomatic coronavirus cases.
We want areas in Tier 3 to think about community testing so that together we can beat the disease.

My thoughts are with my friend @TaylorOBE on the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of his son Damilola Taylor. Whilst we cannot gather in memory today, we can remember that Damilola wanted to make the world a better place to live in & we can work together to make that happen. twitter.com/DTTlondon/stat…

Hugely promising breakthrough that could transform how we diagnose & treat cancer which still takes too many before their time.
Another example of UK scientific leadership. Thank you to all our brilliant scientists and our NHS who helped make this happen. twitter.com/NHSEngland/sta…

Together we have prevented our NHS from being overwhelmed, but those dangers have not gone away.
If we ease off now, we risk losing control of this virus all over again. The tough measures in our Winter Plan are the best way to avoid this outcome.
