Inspiring to see the @RevivalOcean 2020 team cross the finish line of their epic 3,700 mile row from New York to London.
You've done this country proud and raised huge funds for @oceangen_ and @theRMcharity in the process.
Congratulations.

A massive congratulations to everyone who is receiving their GCSE results today.

Encouraging economic growth figures this morning.
There will be challenges ahead, but our successful vaccination programme and #PlanForJobs combined with the strength and resilience of the British people puts the UK in a strong position as we #BuildBackBetter from the pandemic. twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/s…

Fantastic that 70% of adults under 30 have come forward to get vaccinated.
Please get your jab if you haven't already. It is our best route to beating the virus and getting back to the things we love.

My thoughts are with the friends and family of those who lost their lives and with all those affected by the tragic incident in Plymouth last night. I thank the emergency services for their response.

Thanks to UK donations, 3 million of the world’s most vulnerable will now have access to Covid vaccinations.
They join over 1 billion people around the world who have been protected by the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
The UK will continue to be a leading supporter of COVAX. twitter.com/gavi/status/14…

On the fourth anniversary of Anoosheh Ashoori’s wrongful detention in Iran, I reiterate my call for Iran to do the right thing and release him immediately.
Anoosheh and the other British nationals unjustly imprisoned in Iran must be able to return to their families in the UK.

It was a pleasure to visit the @RAFMUSEUM this week, where I was shown the medals awarded to my grandfather Wilfred for his service in the Second World War.
The bravery and sacrifice of the wartime generation will never be forgotten.

On #VJDay76 we honour and remember the many British, Commonwealth and Allied personnel who served in the Far East and Pacific, often in unthinkable conditions.
They fought for freedom, brought the Second World War to an end and restored peace and prosperity to the world.

Today's jobs figures are encouraging, showing signs of recovery across the country with employment up and unemployment down.
There is still work to do but our #PlanForJobs will give people the skills and experience they need to get back into work.

We have an enduring commitment to the Afghan people, and we will honour it.
A new resettlement scheme will create a safe and legal route for those in most need to come and live safely in the UK.
1713
We must help the people of Afghanistan choose the best of all their possible futures.
That is the critical task on which this government – working alongside our friends and partners around the world – is now urgently engaged.
1714
Good news that @MHRAgovuk has approved the first therapeutic treatment designed specifically for COVID-19.
Alongside our life-saving vaccine programme, this will be an important weapon in fighting COVID, particularly for those who are immunocompromised.

We owe the brave people who worked side-by-side with us in Afghanistan a debt of gratitude.
I’m proud to see our resettlement scheme welcoming Afghans safely to our shores.
We’re working to get as many people out of Afghanistan as possible in the coming days.
1716
Today I met a few of the Afghan former staff who have been resettled in the UK with their families.
They worked side-by-side with us and we stood by them and ensured their safety.
We're working tirelessly to help those in the country to whom we owe a debt of obligation.

I will convene G7 leaders on Tuesday for urgent talks on the situation in Afghanistan. It is vital that the international community works together to ensure safe evacuations, prevent a humanitarian crisis and support the Afghan people to secure the gains of the last 20 years.

Young people continue to be hospitalised with COVID-19.
Many of those becoming seriously ill are unvaccinated.
If you haven't done so already, please get your jabs as soon as you can.

Today I will hold an emergency @G7 meeting to coordinate our response to the crisis in Afghanistan.
I will ask our friends and allies to stand by the Afghan people and step up support for refugees and humanitarian aid.
1721
We will continue to use every humanitarian and diplomatic lever to safeguard human rights and the gains made in Afghanistan over the last two decades.
The Taliban will be judged by their deeds and not their words.

Today the @G7 committed to work together on the immediate evacuation effort to ensure this continues safely.
We also agreed we must have a shared roadmap for engaging with the Taliban that aims to preserve the progress of the last 20 years.
