Ahead of the NATO and G7 meetings this week, I spoke with Quint leaders to discuss our ongoing military, diplomatic and economic support for Ukraine.
Together, we need to maintain the pressure on Russia’s barbaric invasion and ensure #PutinMustFail.

Five years on from the tragedy in Westminster, we celebrate the lives of the victims & extraordinary heroism of PC Palmer. They live on in all our hearts.
The selflessness of those who rushed to the aid of strangers that day represents the spirit of this unique, fantastic city.

An appalling tragedy. Boris survived four concentration camps & dedicated his life to ensuring the horrors of Nazism wouldn't be repeated.
Putin's claim that his invasion of Ukraine is 'de-Nazification' is a grotesque lie. Instead we're seeing the bombardment of innocent people. twitter.com/KyivIndependen…

Today @narendramodi and I spoke about the grave situation in Ukraine and agreed its sovereignty must be respected.
The UK-India relationship continues to go from strength to strength, and we'll build on our trade, security & business ties in the coming weeks and months.

We're cutting taxes for hardworking people:
- Matching NICs and Income Tax thresholds so you don't pay tax on the first £12,570 you earn

Those lost to Covid will never be out of our hearts and minds, and today we reflect as a nation.
The National Day of Reflection is a chance to come together, mourn, and offer our support and sympathies to all those grieving, and to thank those who cared for us throughout.

I spoke to President @ZelenskyyUa and reiterated the UK’s horror at the bombardment of Ukraine and admiration for his armed forces.
At tomorrow’s G7 & NATO meetings I’ll be urging international partners to send more defensive lethal aid to Ukraine and step up pressure on Putin.
2285
In 2019 I promised to equalise National Insurance and Income Tax starting thresholds – today we deliver on that promise.
From July people can earn £12,570 a year without paying any tax – that's £330 more in people's pockets.

The UK will provide an additional 6,000 missiles to Ukraine, in addition to the 4,000 NLAW's and Javelin missiles already supplied.
Lethal defensive military aid, including Starstreak high-velocity anti-air missiles, will help Ukrainians continue to defend themselves. 2/6

We're providing £25 million in financial backing for the Ukrainian military, which is on top of the £400 million we've committed in humanitarian and economic aid. 3/6

I’m at @NATO where I’ll be urging our allies and partners to step up military and economic support to Ukraine, strengthening their defences as they turn the tide in this fight. We cannot and will not stand by while Russia grinds Ukraine’s towns and cities into dust. 1/6
2290
The UK will also provide an additional £4.1 million for the BBC World Service to tackle disinformation in Russia and Ukraine, as well as new financial and policing support for the International Criminal Court’s investigation into war crimes. 4/6

Vladimir Putin is already failing in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people have shown themselves to be extraordinarily brave and tenacious in defending their homeland, in the face of an unprovoked onslaught. 5/6
2292
The UK, working with our allies and partners, will continue to support Ukraine and stand against tyranny. We will win together. 6/6

The instincts of this country are to be as generous as possible to those fleeing Putin's barbaric invasion.

I fully condemn the latest Houthi attack against critical sites in Saudi Arabia, including in Jeddah. These strikes put civilian lives at risk and must stop.

If your child falls behind in maths or English, we are asking schools to intervene and help them get them back on track.
That’s our pledge to every parent.

The UK will continue to step up our efforts to help Ukraine defend itself from aggression.
2298
Discussed the ongoing need to support and sustain Ukraine this afternoon with @POTUS, @EmmanuelMacron, @OlafScholz and Prime Minister Draghi.
There will be no let up in our resolve until aggression against Ukraine ends.

Sharing this very intimate story would have taken an immense amount of courage. Thank you @JamieWallisMP for your bravery, which will undoubtedly support others.
