I’m backing @DailyMailUK’s campaign to restore tax-free shopping for overseas tourists in the UK. Yet again static Treasury modelling is causing the Government to adopt policies which damage economic growth. Scrapping the tourist tax would boost revenue.

Met the Iron Ladies Network at @Heritage over afternoon tea, talking about careers in politics, the importance of free speech, the relationship between the UK and the US and much more. Was great to meet you all!

Speaking at @Heritage today I:
📈 Said the West must rediscover its economic mojo to be match fit to take on China
🤝 Urged the free world to provide more support to both Ukraine and Taiwan
💰 Called out the OECD minimum tax agreement as a ‘cartel of complacency’

"If… many influential people have failed to understand or have just forgotten what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made" - Margaret Thatcher 13/10/25 - 8/4/13

Incredibly sad to hear of the death of Nigel Lawson. A true giant of 20th century politics who as Chancellor famously sought to abolish at least one tax at every Budget. His time at the helm of the Treasury was transformational. My sincere condolences to his family.

#CPTPP is a vital economic bulwark against China & in due course I’d like to see like-minded free trading nations making their own applications to join. It’s essential that any idea of Chinese accession is ruled out & I’d expect the British government to oppose any such proposal. twitter.com/trussliz/statu…

I’d like to pay tribute to all those at the Department for International Trade who put in the hard yards to make this happen. This is a vital development as we seek to boost UK exports to new markets and deliver additional economic growth. 2/2

As Trade Sec, I made our application to join #CPTPP two years ago. I'm delighted negotiations are complete, deepening UK access to some of the world's fastest-growing economies: #GlobalBritain in action and an important counterweight to those who seek to undermine our values. 1/2

One year after securing the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori from Iranian jails, I’ve written for @thetimes about the six months of fraught dialogue and intense diplomacy that eventually saw them reunited with their families.

Following my recent visit to @TeamQEH, I met Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt ahead of the Budget, as part of my ongoing campaign with @jamesowild, urging him to fund a new hospital. The people of West Norfolk have waited long enough. It’s time for action.

Spoke on India’s role as a global power player at @abplive’s #ABPIdeasOfIndia Summit in Mumbai.
India will soon become the globe’s most populous country and is the world’s largest democracy.
It will play a vital role in promoting freedom and democracy in the coming years.

One year on from Putin’s barbaric invasion, we remember the Ukrainians who have lost their lives in defence of freedom.
Ukraine must prevail.
Ukraine will prevail.

I also said that following a Ukrainian victory, Russia must pay for the crimes it has committed and be held to account, with money seized from the Russian state being used to help rebuild Ukraine.

Speaking in the Commons debate marking one year since Putin's invasion of Ukraine, I said we need to do all we can as fast as we can to ensure a Ukrainian victory, including giving fighter jets to Ukraine.

I’ve been in Japan talking about the fight for freedom and how we challenge authoritarianism. At @ipacglobal’s Tokyo Symposium with fellow former PMs @ScottMorrisonMP of Australia and Belgium’s @guyverhofstadt, I set out my concerns about the rise of a totalitarian China. 1/3

Here's my interview published today in @NikkeiAsia, in which I make the case for G7 nations and like-minded allies to act as an economic NATO to make sure we are not allowing freedom and democracy to be undermined by China's economic policies. asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Supp…

Today I addressed parliamentarians from across the world at @ipacglobal’s Tokyo Symposium.
I set out why the free world must challenge China’s economic dominance before it's too late and how we can work together to support Taiwan.

A privilege to hear President @ZelenskyyUa address MPs and peers today. His courage in the face of Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine is an inspiration as we remain steadfast in our support for the Ukrainian people. As he said: “Freedom will win.”

I have signed Parliament’s @HolocaustUK Book of Commitment in advance of #HolocaustMemorialDay on Friday.
As we honour the memory of victims of the Holocaust, we renew our commitment to ensure that such evil may never be perpetrated ever again. #LightTheDarkness #HMD2023
