The right economic plan for Britain. gov.uk/government/new…

We're backing British workers and businesses.

Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

Today @CMAgovUK has published its final report into vet services for household pets. We're already consulting on the biggest reforms to the vet sector in 60 years - clearer prices, stronger protections, better care. 🐾 Have your say: consult.defra.gov.uk/reform-of-the-…

Together with our allies, we condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces.

Yesterday, a new law to remove the two-child limit on Universal Credit received Royal Assent Together with other support, this means we will lift 550,000 children out of poverty

This government will make the UK the best place in the world to start, scale and grow AI companies.

This government has the right economic plan for Britain. Stability in the public finances, investment in infrastructure, and reform to our economy. We’re changing Britain and our economy for the better. gov.uk/government/new…

We’re backing Quantum with up to £2 billion, aiming for the UK to become the first nation to deploy Quantum computers at scale. From faster drug discovery to a more efficient NHS, Quantum innovation is set to deliver real‑world benefits for people across the country.

This government will make the UK the best place in the world for quantum and AI companies to start, scale and stay. In a changing world, our economic plan is the right one. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Standing up for British people. Always.

For rural communities, recent rises in heating oil prices are a real and urgent problem. That’s why we’re providing over £50m to help those who need it most - including funding for the @niexecutive to deliver support where this hits hardest.

If fuel companies try to rip off customers, my government will step in. @RachelReevesMP and @Ed_Miliband are bringing the bosses of the fuel companies in today, to make sure that customers aren’t losing out because of the conflict in the Middle East.

Unjustifiable price hikes for fuel as well as heating oil will not be tolerated. The @CMAgovUK have my full backing in using its powers against those seeking to exploit the current situation and its customers.

To build national resilience, energy security and economic growth, we need nuclear. We’re overhauling the system - cutting duplicative, overly complex rules holding back ambition. In an uncertain world, this government’s economic plan is the right one. gov.uk/government/new…

As Chancellor, I will be both responsive in a changing world and responsible in the national interest. My economic update on the Middle East:

1/8 With Britain’s gas storage levels back in the news, here’s what you need to know. Gas storage is a complex topic, so it’s easy for data to be misunderstood or taken out of context.

I've written to the heating oil industry @UKIFDA regarding price increases for households and businesses. It is vital that customers are treated fairly. Price gouging will not be tolerated. The @CMAgovUK will take any action necessary to protect families.

Happy International Women’s Day. In Downing Street this week, we celebrated the achievements of women from across our country.
