I welcome the agreement on our 16th package of sanctions.
The EU is clamping down even harder on circumvention by targeting more vessels in Putin’s shadow fleet and imposing new import and export bans.
We are committed to keep up the pressure on the Kremlin.

Are you in any way related to the Tory Kemi Badenoch who was a cabinet minister in the most corrupt, sleaze-ridden, incompetent government that ruthlessly covered up its multiple disgraces: Partygate, the PPE scandal, & 10s of millions of COVID loans handed to Mrs Sunak by the Chancellor, Mr Sunak?

Congratulations @mayordrnik.bsky.social on delivering bus franchising in Cambs & Pbro. This will substantially improve frequency, deliver more rural routes, keep prices down & reinvest profit into the bus network instead of shareholder pockets. #GoodThatLabourDors

On 1 April 2025 we will see a big increase in the minimum wage. For the first time, the cost of living has been taken into account when setting the rates.
Hard work should be properly rewarded. By raising wages, we’re making sure work really does pay.
