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 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.

Delighted to have been re-selected as Conservative candidate for South West Norfolk. Thanks to my local association for their ongoing support and I look forward in due course to us fighting a fifth general election together. twitter.com/SWNCA/status/1…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

#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…

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.

"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

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’

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!

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.
