Nothing will stop us remembering the unique horror of the Holocaust and recommitting to root out antisemitism.
I was honoured to hear from Renee Salt who survived Auschwitz and Belsen, and veteran Ian Forsyth who liberated the latter camp in April 1945. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Reaffirmed British solidarity with the Ukrainian people to my friend @ZelenskyyUa this morning, particularly for the brave defenders of Mariupol.

We need to come together as a party and focus on what this government is doing to help people with the cost of living, to clear the COVID backlogs and to make our streets safer.
We will continue to unite, level up and strengthen our economy.

I was appalled by the death of George Floyd and welcome this verdict.
My thoughts tonight are with George Floyd’s family and friends.

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.

It is welcome news that the High Court has ruled that the Rwanda policy is lawful. It is one of the only humane ways of dealing with the vile people trafficking gangs who are exploiting so many people.

Great news that the economy grew by 0.5% in May – outstripping expectations.
This government has taken action to protect jobs through a challenging 2 years, whilst making record investments in infrastructure, levelling up and ensuring people can get skills they need to progress.

India has today announced ambitious plans for half its energy to come from renewables by 2030.
This will cut carbon emissions by a billion tonnes, contributing to a worldwide decade of delivery on climate change. 1/3

Apologies, I misspoke today.
In the North East, new rules mean you cannot meet people from different households in social settings indoors, including in pubs, restaurants and your home. You should also avoid socialising with other households outside. (1/2)

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.

Today is not the day we can declare victory over Covid, because this virus is not going away.
But it is the day when all the efforts of the last two years finally enabled us to protect ourselves while restoring our liberties in full.

I welcome today’s announcement of the @UN-brokered deal to get grain out of Ukraine via the Black Sea and end Russia’s blockade.
UK support for @ZelenskyyUa and his people is unwavering, and we’ll continue to bolster Ukrainian defences as they repel Russian aggression.

We must respect the result of the EU referendum. #VoteConservative

Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing Islam’s holiest month this year.
I’m afraid that again this year it is necessary to follow the rules to stay safe but I hope this month of fast, prayer and charity brings much peace and reflection to all Muslims.

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.

We are going to legislate for the biggest investment in our NHS in living memory.

The Oxford/AstraZeneca jab is safe and the Pfizer jab is safe - the thing that isn’t safe is catching COVID.
Which is why it’s so important that we all get our jabs as soon as our turn comes.

On VE Day, as we remember those who sacrificed their lives in WW2, we also think of those who've died and suffered in Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Our respect for those who fought strengthens our determination to support Ukrainians today.

To chart our progress and to avoid going back to square one, we are establishing a new COVID Alert System run by a new Joint Biosecurity Centre.
That COVID Alert Level will be determined primarily by R and the number of coronavirus cases. #StayAlert

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

In another economic blow to the Putin regime following the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the UK will move away from dependence on Russian oil throughout this year, building on our severe package of international economic sanctions.
