75 years ago, brave men and women from many nations stood together in the Far East to bring an end to the Second World War. They fought for freedom, won the war and secured the peace.
Today, as every day, we will remember them.

Tonight I am thinking of the British, Commonwealth and Allied servicemen who, 75 years ago in the Far East, were just hours away from peace.
Tomorrow and everyday, we will remember them.

I was delighted to meet 95 year old Maureen Lightbody in Northern Ireland, and award her a Point of Light.
Maureen is a veteran who served with the Wrens in the Second World War. Her inspiring fundraising has raised over £20,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. Thank you Maureen.

Today I’ve been in Northern Ireland, to meet with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister.
Westminster and Stormont have worked closely together throughout the crisis, and we will continue to do so as we recover.

Today I visited Northern Ireland to meet with the First and Deputy First Ministers, and to express my thanks to emergency workers who have been working incredibly hard throughout the pandemic.

The UAE and Israel’s decision to normalise relations is hugely good news. It was my profound hope that annexation did not go ahead in the West Bank and today’s agreement to suspend those plans is a welcome step on the road to a more peaceful Middle East.

We will stand side by side as we build back better, constructing the kind of exciting, strong, prosperous Northern Ireland that all of us want to see.

I visited Hereford County Hospital today, one of the twenty hospitals getting a major new upgrade thanks to a boost in NHS funding.
We’re also making sure A&Es are ready for winter with a £300m package.

This morning I visited Hereford County Hospital and saw how extra funding is helping them build new wards and prepare for winter.

Today I visited two schools in Upminster to see the steps they’ve taken to safely welcome back pupils in September.
It’s vital that we get children back to school, restore some normality to their lives and ensure they don’t miss out on their education because of coronavirus.

Great to visit St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School and Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School today, and find out how they are preparing for the return of all students next month.

The UK is committed to supporting the Lebanese people after the explosion in Beirut, and we are pledging another £20m to help the most vulnerable 🇬🇧🇱🇧
Thank you @EmmanuelMacron and @AminaJMohammed for convening today's virtual conference on the crisis in Lebanon.

Keeping our schools closed a moment longer than is absolutely necessary is socially intolerable, economically unsustainable and morally indefensible.

The current planning system wastes time and taxpayers’ money.
That’s why we’re going to cut the red tape, overhaul the planning process and build better, greener homes faster.

Tonight a candle has been lit in memory of John Hume and placed in the door of Downing Street. A symbol to all of us of the peace he was so instrumental in securing, and a reminder of the long-lasting impact he had on the world. #JohnsLight

The pictures and videos from Beirut tonight are shocking. All of my thoughts and prayers are with those caught up in this terrible incident. The UK is ready to provide support in any way we can, including to those British nationals affected.
