We've reached a significant milestone with 1 in 5 adults now having had two COVID-19 vaccine doses. This is a huge UK-wide effort that has already saved thousands of lives.
Thank you to everyone involved.

In supporting #StephenLawrenceDay we are reminded of Stephen's many talents, and our duty to stop racism and give young people the best possible future.
My thoughts are with Stephen’s parents Doreen and Neville, and the many families that have lost loved ones in their prime.

The world’s tropical forests are the lungs of our planet and yet we’re losing these great, teeming ecosystems at an unconscionable rate.
I’m pleased the UK is joining this hugely exciting coalition to protect our tropical forests and tackle climate change. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

I welcome the Court of Appeal's decision to overturn the convictions of 39 former sub-postmasters in the Horizon dispute, an appalling injustice which has had a devastating impact on these families for years.
Lessons should and will be learnt to ensure this never happens again.

This is a landmark achievement by the team at @UniofOxford who developed the COVID-19 vaccine.
Malaria kills hundreds of thousands of children a year. An effective vaccine holds out the possibility of ending this global tragedy.

This is the story of the UK vaccine rollout which has already saved thousands of lives.
A huge thank you to everyone involved from the scientists, to our NHS, the Armed Forces and the many volunteers.

We stand side by side with India in the shared fight against COVID-19. Vital medical equipment is on its way from the UK to India to help stop the tragic loss of life from the virus and we’ll continue to work closely with the Indian government during this difficult time.

Iran's decision to sentence Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to another year in prison is cruel, inhumane and wholly unjustified. She must be allowed to return to her family in the UK and we will continue to do all we can to get her home.

Fantastic to be in Wales today, campaigning with our @WelshConserv candidates.
The team have a plan to drive forward Wales' economic recovery, creating 65,000 new, well-paid jobs and investing in infrastructure like the A55.
Vote Conservative on May 6th.

Fantastic news that 16,500 young people have now started jobs through our Kickstart scheme.

Today I spoke with President Kenyatta @StateHouseKenya ahead of the joint UK-Kenya Global Education Summit.
We agreed to work closely together to ensure 175 million more children get into school around the world. There’s a huge amount the 🇬🇧 and 🇰🇪 can achieve together.

Dame Cheryl Gillan was a great servant to the people of Chesham & Amersham. She made a huge contribution to our party and country, and we will sorely miss her.
My thoughts are with her family and friends. twitter.com/caca_tories/st…

Vaccines have saved thousands of lives so far and now this data shows they could also protect others by cutting transmission of the virus – which will be crucial in helping us beat the pandemic.
I urge everyone to book their jab when called.

Great news that the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of our zero tariffs, zero quotas Trade and Cooperation Agreement.
Now is the time to look forward to a new relationship with the EU and a more Global Britain.

I want to thank Arlene Foster @DUPleader for her dedication to the people of Northern Ireland over many years. She will continue to play a vital role as First Minister until June and I hope that she stays in public service for years to come.
