One of the many highlights of a few days in 🇺🇦- EU Ambassador @kmathernova decides it is time I have an official EU folder for my work to get 🇬🇧back in. Ps today Boris Johnson said he backed 🇺🇦 entry into EU. Then came the joke “we created a big vacancy!” Once a charlatan …

I can tell the oligarchs: The American people are sick and tired of your greed. And they are sick and tired of billionaires paying a lower effective tax rate than the average American worker. Billionaire tax now.

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine. Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage.
Two colours, burning with resistance. Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever Slava Ukraini.

We have this in stock. On Natural Capital, renowned Cambridge economist Sir Partha Dasgupta. One of the VERY FEW books Sir David Attenborough ever endorsed. We have used Nature as an unlimited resource...when it is NOT Sir Partha has come up with a new more accurate model.

Prince Harry: Over the past year, I've had the honor and privilege of visiting Ukraine twice. Each time I left deeply moved by the courage, dignity and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people. For four years, Ukraine has stood firm. You've shown the world what true

I thank all the leaders who are in Ukraine and with Ukraine today, and who have supported Ukrainians throughout all these years of struggle. It is extremely important that we are all together today, speaking with one voice. Global unity is stronger than any of Russia’s alliances.

I just voted to lift the two-child cap - a policy introduced by the Tories which punishes children who were born into a poor family. Nigel Farage wants to keep it and instead give tax breaks to foreign billionaires. I know whose side I'm on.

Putin thought a bad winter would finish Ukraine off. Now the weather there is starting to improve, and Putin’s best hope of victory is fading after 4 years which have done enormous harm to Russia.

National borrowing is falling faster than expected. Inflation is down. Interest rates are falling. Real wages are improving. And the U.K. is the fastest growing of the wealthiest countries in Europe. Step by step, we’re getting our economy back on track.
Today’s public finance figures show borrowing is falling, and falling even faster than forecast back in November. This is important: the Chancellor’s plan for meeting her fiscal rules is predicated on borrowing falling significantly this year and next.

My visit to Ukraine convinces me that redoubled U.S. support—more than rhetoric—is essential to Ukraine’s battlefield strength & peace. The Ukrainian Navy is fighting with a determination & skill that is of the highest caliber. We must provide them the tools they urgently need.

And this is why, in an age where we expect everything to happen immediately, there are some things that just need more time and switching horses before the plan bakes gives you the worst of all worlds. There will be blips … always are… but how about we stop wishing the worst on

And now I’m here. Some of my favourite houses in London and one of the locations where Don McCullin photographed the Beatles on their mad day out. Look it up and there’s a photo of John Lennon lying down by The Thames with Tower Bridge in the background, pretending he’d been shot

Thames Water's reply to a customer @robJGray82 about sewage spewing into the street. "Hydraulic overload", they say. That of course translates as we spanked all the money we should have invested in the sewage system, paid it all to shareholders and managers, inflated salaries,
@RobJGray82 Hi Rob. We've investigated this issue and the problem is being caused by hydraulic overload. You can read more about this here: https://t.co/xO6OrBgjNv - Isabelle
