From military and humanitarian support to economic sanctions, the UK is doing all we can to support Ukraine and ensure Putin fails.
We are isolating Putin on the world stage and ensuring his regime is held accountable for its crimes.

Business leaders at Green’s Food Fare in Lisburn tell me rules are frustrating efforts to bring goods into NI from Great Britain. That’s why the UK Govt is in intensive talks with the EU to find a solution. There is a deal to be done & a shared responsibility to make that happen

Hong Kong was for many years a bastion of liberty and paragon of prosperity.

Laying flowers at the MH17 memorial with @WBHoekstra in memory of the 298 people who lost their lives. The flight was shot down over Ukraine in 2014. The victims and their families deserve justice. Russia must take responsibility for this heinous act.

The best way to stimulate economic growth is bottom-up with tax incentives for investment and simplified regulations.
