Today 143 countries stand united in condemnation of Putin’s illegal attempts to annex four regions of Ukraine.
United against Russia’s hostile actions, the @UN General Assembly vote is a clear sign that Putin is isolated on the international stage.
We stand with Ukraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦

As Prime Minister, I will always act in the national interest.
Growing the economy remains our mission, ensuring people can get good jobs, new businesses can flourish and families can afford an even better life.

On the anniversary of Sir David Amess' death, we cherish his memory and remember his enormous contribution to politics, to the people of Southend and to the country.
My thoughts today are with his wife Julia, the Amess family and to all those who knew and loved him.

I will always act in the national interest, supporting families and businesses across our country.
We are going to do things differently, charting a new course for growth - it remains the core mission of this government👇

The British people rightly want stability, which is why we are addressing the serious challenges we face in worsening economic conditions.
We have taken action to chart a new course for growth that supports and delivers for people across the United Kingdom. twitter.com/hmtreasury/sta…

We are protecting the triple lock on pensions to ensure pensioners get the most generous support, as well as providing extra support with their energy bills. twitter.com/Conservatives/…
1132
We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.
We have continued to stand with Ukraine and to protect our own security.
And we set out a vision for a low tax, high growth economy – that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.
1133
I recognise however that, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party.
I have therefore spoken to His Majesty The King to notify him that I am resigning as Leader of the Conservative Party.
1134
There will be a leadership election to be completed in the next week.
This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.
I will remain as Prime Minister until a successor has been chosen.
1135
Congratulations @RishiSunak on being appointed as Leader of the Conservative Party and our next Prime Minister.
You have my full support.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Visited @TeamQEH which serves South West Norfolk.
I’m campaigning with fellow MPs for a new hospital as the current facilities are deteriorating and are held up by thousands of support props.
This is needed urgently for local patients.

Sad news that my friend @NorwichChloe is standing down at the next election.
Chloe has always stood up for Norfolk. She backed our campaigns for the Lightning II for RAF Marham and the dualling of the A11.
She will be greatly missed by her constituents and colleagues. twitter.com/NorwichChloe/s…

The main building @TeamQEH urgently needs replacing.
Today @jamesowild, Cllr Stuart Dark and I are submitting a letter to the Secretary of State backed by community leaders calling for a new build hospital.
This is vital for my constituents.

Visited @PeerlessPlastic and Speedbird Supplies and Promotions in Thetford.
Both great exporting businesses shipping unique products around the globe. 🌎

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate, here’s wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, especially my constituents in South West Norfolk, with particular thanks to our armed forces, emergency services and others working throughout the festive season to keep us safe.

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

I have written for the Sunday @Telegraph about what happened during my time in Downing Street and the lessons I have learned… 👇🏻

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.”

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.

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…

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
