A proud moment today as the Government launches the new England National Cancer Plan.
I’ve long campaigned for a travel fund for children and young people with cancer, so it’s encouraging to see this included thanks to charities and families.
The plan delivers real change.

I met with the Royal Marines, who showcased their kit and briefed me on the growing Russian threat in the Arctic and North Atlantic. There are real risks to our national security and global stability. (1/2)

🙌 Great news on a massive move to ensure we have UK green energy sources to bring down energy bills across the country.
We’ve just secured the largest amount of offshore wind in any auction ever in Britain - enough to power the equivalent of 12 million homes.
In Scotland 🏴 the first offshore wind project in three years has been successful - a landmark moment demonstrating our commitment to the whole of the UK.

In Parliament, I welcomed stronger action to tighten sanctions on Russia.
A sanctions regime with real teeth is vital to closing loopholes that fund Putin’s illegal war and to ensure seized assets can be used to help rebuild Ukraine, now and in the future.
