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

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.

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

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.

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…

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.

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.
1087
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

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.

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…

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.

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

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 🇬🇧

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…

Now is the time for the public and businesses to get ready for the Australian option on January 1st.

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.

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.
