It's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek, and I want to remind everybody of the important chat I had with the brilliant #DrAlexGeorge.
Talking about mental health is so important, and if you’re a young person who is struggling please do reach out for support.

The behaviour directed at the Leader of the Opposition tonight is absolutely disgraceful. All forms of harassment of our elected representatives are completely unacceptable.
I thank the police for responding swiftly.

Whether it’s recruiting 50,000 extra nurses, building 48 new hospitals or delivering a record-breaking increase in funding, this government has never been shy about its support for the NHS.
We’re taking action to deal with the Covid backlogs.

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister @IngridaSimonyte of Lithuania today.
We agreed to strengthen our close, historic ties.
We discussed our shared concern over the tensions with Russia on Ukraine’s border and agreed on the need for de-escalation.
2130
Looking forward to meeting fellow @NATO leaders today in Brussels and Warsaw.
As an alliance we must draw lines in the snow and be clear there are principles upon which we will not compromise, including the right of every European democracy to aspire to NATO membership.

Today’s crisis is not solely about avoiding the blood-soaked tragedy of another Russian invasion of Ukraine – heartrending though that prospect is – but about preserving the essential principles that allow nations to live in peace and freedom.

The United Kingdom’s commitment to the security of Europe — with NATO as the indispensable guarantor — is unwavering.

Ukraine asks for nothing except for peace and sovereignty, able to choose its own destiny and seek its own alliances like any other independent state.
Britain has always stood for these principles and we will not flinch now.
2135
Productive discussions with Prime Minister @MorawieckiM.
Our nations are long-standing friends with deep bonds. We agreed on the importance of pursuing diplomatic dialogue with Russia and ensuring a coordinated package of sanctions are ready to go if needed.
Solidarność 🇬🇧🇵🇱

I want to thank every member of our Armed Forces currently serving in Europe, standing side by side with their NATO counterparts at its eastern flank.
We stand united and resolute in our commitment to the security of Europe against those who would seek to undermine it.
2137
NATO is a defensive alliance that is fundamental to global security.
Today I have agreed a package of support with Secretary-General @jensstoltenberg to further strengthen our collective security, sending troops, planes and ships to defend NATO from North to South.
2138
Dame Cressida has served her country with great dedication and distinction over many decades. I thank her for her role protecting the public and making our streets safer.

Today's GDP figures confirm the UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 in 2021.
Thanks to the incredible resolve of the British people and our great British vaccination effort the economy is bouncing back strongly🇬🇧
2140
We’re relaxing COVID-19 travel rules – good news for families, businesses and the travel sector, making journeys easier and cheaper.
It’s thanks to the millions who got vaccinated and boosted that we now have one of the most open borders and societies in Europe. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

When @NATO was founded, allies made a historic undertaking to safeguard the freedom of every member state.
The UK remains unwavering in our commitment to European security.

Levelling up means having access to good healthcare, good education, skilled work and reliable transport no matter where you live.
We’re getting on with the job, delivering on our mission to unite and level up the whole United Kingdom.

The defence of the realm is the first duty of government – that’s why we’re strengthening our Armed Forces, ensuring we can protect UK interests and be a force for good in the world. twitter.com/10DowningStree…

We are on an edge of a precipice but there is still time for President Putin to step back. We're urging everybody to engage in dialogue and for the Russian government to avoid what would be a disastrous mistake for Russia.
2145
Fantastic to see the growth of the @RoyalNavy fleet with the new Type 31 frigate.
In Rosyth, our plan to level up across the UK is coming together.
We’re creating jobs and protecting our security interests around the world.
2146
President Biden and I agreed this evening there is a crucial window for diplomacy & for Russia to step back from its threats towards Ukraine.
We are united in the face of such threats.
Further incursion into Ukraine will result in far reaching damage for Russia and the world.
2147
Our economic recovery continues with the strongest growth in the G7, low unemployment, redundancies at a record low and the number of payrolled employees at a record high.
Our #PlanForJobs is creating opportunities so anyone ready to work can get a job faster than ever before.
2148
There are signs of a diplomatic opening with Russia, but the intelligence we are seeing today is not encouraging.
We have a tough package of sanctions ready if Russia chooses war.
We maintain that diplomacy and de-escalation is the only way forward.
2149
I thank President @vonderleyen for her close cooperation on sanctions so far.
We will continue working with our allies to prepare a package of economic measures that would punish Russia if Ukraine's sovereignty is breached.

I spoke with Prime Minister @kishida230 this morning and we both agreed that the international community needed to stand united against an invasion of an independent country – which would carry severe consequences.
Both the UK and Japan will not tolerate Russia’s aggression.
