It is truly fantastic news - and a triumph for British science - that the @UniofOxford /@AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved for use.
We will now move to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible.

Thank you to all the scientists and volunteers who helped make this fantastic achievement possible.

I wholeheartedly welcome today’s political agreement between the UK and Spain on Gibraltar’s future relationship with the EU. The UK has always been, and will remain, totally committed to the protection of the interests of Gibraltar and its British sovereignty 🇬🇮🇬🇧

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!

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.

.@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.

Saddened to hear of the death of Sir Brian Urquhart, a renowned British diplomat who shaped the @UN & created the blue helmet peacekeepers. As we approach the 75th anniversary of the first Security Council meeting in London, his legacy lives on in the vital work of the UN today.

I want to say to everyone right across the United Kingdom that I know how tough this is, I know how frustrated you are, I know that you have had more than enough of government guidance about defeating this virus. 1/3

But now more than ever, we must pull together.
With every jab that goes into our arms, we are tilting the odds against Covid and in favour of the British people.
And, thanks to the miracle of science, not only is the end in sight but we know exactly how we will get there. 2/3

But for now, I am afraid, you must once again stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives. 3/3

We have now vaccinated over 1.3 million people across the UK.
We’re focusing our efforts on protecting the most vulnerable, reducing hospitalisations and saving lives.
1146
We are in a race to vaccinate the vulnerable faster than the virus can reach them.
And we need to give our army of vaccinators the biggest head start we possibly can.
That is why we must once again stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.

Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress. The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.

Excellent news the @MHRAgovuk has approved the use of the @moderna_tx vaccine.
Our national vaccine effort is accelerating to vaccinate priority groups with our existing two vaccines, and the Moderna doses will add to that when they become available in spring. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

Our hospitals are under more pressure than at any other time since the start of the pandemic, and infection rates continue to soar at an alarming rate.
The vaccine rollout has given us renewed hope, but it’s critical for now we stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
