We must respond to the message that voters have sent us and break with the status quo once and for all.
We must confront the big challenges the public face with real answers.
That is how we will deliver the change that people are desperate for and build a stronger and fairer country.

@ZelenskyyUa You both need your heads banging together. Stop listening to idiot leaders and agree to peace with Putin.
English

This summer will be a moment when Putin decides what to do next: expand the war or move to diplomacy. And we must push him toward diplomacy.
Russia has announced a May 9 parade in Moscow without military equipment. If that happens, it will be the first time in many, many years. They cannot afford military equipment – and they fear drones may buzz over Red Square.
This is telling. It shows they are not strong now. So we must keep the pressure, by sanctions, on them. Please oppose any ideas to ease sanctions – this is important. And thank you also to those who are fighting against Russia’s shadow oil fleet.

The war in Iran has underlined Ukraine’s value as an ally.
Its ingenuity on the battlefield, growing defence sector and economic potential make it a valuable partner - not a charity case.

@Keir_Starmer You lot are finished. People put there have had enough of the constant empty promises.

We must build a stronger country if we are to build a fairer country. That is the mission of my government and the promise of change that we will deliver.

Every Labour government in history leaves more people unemployed. This one’s following the same old script: Britain has seen the biggest rise in unemployment in the G7, with more than 300,000 more people out of work than a year ago.

@ZelenskyyUa What's the end game here? Just call a truce and cede some land to avoid more needless deaths.
English

Today, most of the weapons Ukraine uses for various types of operations – long-range, on the battlefield, or in air defense – are produced in Ukraine. This is where the opportunities for our “Drone deals” with different countries come from.
The capacity of Ukraine’s defense production is twice as large as what we are using today, simply because we do not have enough funding. We expect Germany, as one of the leaders of the European Union, to help quickly unblock 90 billion. This will allow us to increase the procurement of drones produced in Ukraine. That would put even more of our systems on the battlefield.
As for the PURL initiative, this program specifically helps with air defense against ballistic threats. Unfortunately, Europe currently does not have such capabilities. I am 100 percent confident that, eventually, Europe and Ukraine together will produce anti-ballistic systems. But while there is still a shortage of such capabilities, we must protect our people, and the PURL initiative is needed for that.
From answers to journalists’ questions.

@grantshapps Back armed forces to do what exactly? The Falklands is history now, no need for more wars you twat!
English

As I said earlier this week, the priorities are all wrong.
Labour has signed off 1.5 million extra Universal Credit claims since the election, with 63,000 more last month alone, while defence remains under pressure.
We need to cut welfare spending and back our Armed Forces properly.

@EP_President @WFPChief @cindymccain @Europarl_EN @WFP @RobertaMetsola They only have to swallow the extra cost, reduce margin slightly without passing onto us customers.

As pressure on global food security grows, it was good to exchange with @WFPChief @cindymccain at @Europarl_EN today how the EU and @WFP can keep working together to tackle disruptions and rising costs, bring more predictability, and ease the strain on food production and distribution.

Britain’s energy security is more important than ever.
That’s why we’re investing in British Nuclear - partnering with @GBNgovuk and Rolls-Royce SMR on small modular reactors to help secure Britain’s energy future.

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen.
From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation.
Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.
More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine!
The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace.
Additionally, President Trump got
the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.
