It’s brilliant that @valnevaSE is starting the large-scale manufacture of its potential vaccine, creating 100 high-skilled jobs at their Livingston facility.
We’ve secured 60m doses due to be delivered by the end of the year if it is approved for use.

I cannot say this powerfully or emphatically enough – this pandemic is not over.

Please get that jab.

It’s fantastic that our NHS has secured early access to the breakthrough, life-saving cancer drug Sotorasib, initially for lung cancer.
This drug can stop tumour growth, making a huge difference to patients and boosting our efforts to get people the treatment they need.

Very humbling to be in Lisburn today remembering the extraordinary life of David Trimble. His principled determination to forge a better future for all marks him out as one of the giants of our history.
My thoughts remain with Daphne and the whole Trimble family.

A year ago the military junta seized power in Myanmar, trampling upon democracy.
The UK stands with the people of Myanmar in the face of brutal military violence, a humanitarian crisis, and the detention of political opponents.
Freedom and democracy must be restored.

24 years on this progress cannot be underestimated or undermined.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the serious fire in Bolton last night.
Thank you to emergency services for your brave response.
I have spoken with AFC Tony Hunter who is in charge at the scene, and we are doing everything to ensure they have all the required support.
