Earlier this year the UK and our allies pledged to address Putin’s threat to food security and end the grain blockade of Ukraine.

Looking forward to meeting fellow @NATO leaders today in Brussels and Warsaw.

We set out our roadmap and we’re sticking to it.
It is by being cautious, by monitoring the data at every stage, and by following the rules – remembering hands, face, space and fresh air – that we hope together to make this roadmap to freedom irreversible.

We have already recruited 13,790 police officers who are giving us the firepower needed to fight crime, put more dangerous offenders behind bars and make our streets safer.

I thanked our financial services sector today for the efforts they are making to ensure sanctions implemented against Russia are robust and effective.

The best way to lift countries out of poverty and lead a global recovery is to invest in education – particularly girls’ education.
The UK will donate £430m to help get children in the classroom, and I'm calling on other countries, including those at the @G7, to play their part.

As we come out of the pandemic our message is clear: we are focused on the big issues that matter in people’s lives.
So it was fantastic to visit Anglesey yesterday to see some of the brilliant ways we are levelling up in North Wales and right across the UK.
