The freedoms that we are able to maintain in the teeth of this Omicron wave have been made possible by the number of people getting boosted.
It's the best way to contain this virus, help our NHS, and keep our country open – so please Get Boosted Now.

However, I would urge everyone to continue to act cautiously given the rising number of Omicron cases.
Most importantly I urge everyone to get their first, second or booster jab without delay to protect yourselves and your loved ones. 2/2

We are seeing growth in Omicron cases in the UK that mirrors the rapid increases seen in South Africa.
That is why it is now the proportionate and responsible thing to move to Plan B in England, to slow the spread of the virus.

Sad to hear about Baroness Shirley Williams, a kind and thoughtful member of the once radical centre left. Even when we disagreed - as we often did - she had the gift of sounding so completely reasonable at all times. (1/2)

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Jack Dromey MP. My thoughts are with Harriet and the family, and all those who knew him as a friend. May he rest in peace.

I’m looking forward to meeting Angela Merkel later today.
The UK and Germany have a steadfast friendship, and over the last 16 years of her tenure as Chancellor it has been re-energised and re-invigorated for a new era.
