1/5 Today I took the London to Birmingham train – a journey that will be turbocharged by our investment in #HS2. Image
2/5 Levelling-up means transforming travel for people right across the country.
3/5 Therefore it’s right that our infrastructure revolution includes the big national projects like HS2 - as well as schemes that’ll help improve local journeys now - like our £5bn for buses & bikes.
4/5 This is not a case of either/or. We must do both to ensure Britain is match fit for the opportunities ahead & ensure all corners of the country benefit from our prosperity.
5/5 I’ll set out more details at next month’s Budget in our long-term National Infrastructure Strategy. This Government will deliver a decade of renewal.

It was an incredible honour to lead the Holocaust Memorial Day debate in Parliament today.

Extremely thoughtful contributions from Members across the House in our united call to never forget the victims of persecution @HMD_UK 1/5
Education will be essential in the work to tackle hatred and prejudice. We have so many fantastic organisations doing just this, including @AnneFrankTrust @HolocaustUK 3/5
It was also an honour for me to lead this debate as the first Muslim to do so from the backbenches. Our strength as a country comes from having open communities 4/5

We need to focus on the issues that matter to the people we serve, not the parlour games in Parliament.

That’s why I have published a 17-page New Conservative Economic Plan. Online here: bit.ly/sjncep

Here’s a quick run through of my top 14 policy commitments 👇🏽 (1/7)
We’ve got to do more to support families dealing with the spike in inflation. That means:

⛽️ Cutting Fuel Duty by 10p per litre

⚡️ Cutting Energy Bills

💰 Controlling public sector pay (2/7)
Tax is at a 70 year high. We need sweeping pro-growth tax reform, funded by a new fiscal approach and reform of our public services:

🏥 Scrap the National Insurance Levy

💵 Bring forward the cut in the basic rate of income tax

👩🏼‍💼 Scrap the planned rise in corporation tax (3/7)

Following the identification of the Omicron variant in the UK we are introducing new measures to ensure we maintain the excellent progress we have made against this virus. /1
We need to slow down the seeding of this variant in our country and we need to buy time for our scientists to understand exactly what we are dealing with. /2
On testing - all international arrivals entering England must take a day 2 PCR test and self-isolate until they receive a negative result. /3

Very pleased to hear PM’s new skills initiative today, as part of our levelling up agenda.

There’s never been a more important time to invest in people & prepare our workforce for the economy of the future – particularly in left-behind regions. 1/5
Businesses are held back by an acute skills shortage, and our education system leaves too many people without the skills they need to get ahead.

The problem is regional as well as national. If the skills mix in the North was same as London wages would be >10% higher. 2/5
At the same time, the global economy is going through a period of significant structural change.

Advances in tech will open up new sectors and transform existing ones. The pandemic has only served to accelerate adjustments in our labour market. 3/5

The UK has a long-standing reputation for keeping our word & a deep-seated respect for the rule of law.

That’s why I concluded last week that I couldn't support the UK Internal Market Bill unamended.

I'm pleased that since then the Govt has made several public commitments: 1/5
First, that Ministers will only seek to use the Bill’s ‘notwithstanding’ provisions if the EU decides to materially breach their duty of good faith - or other obligations - as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. 2/5
Second, that in such a case the Govt will activate appropriate formal dispute settlement mechanisms within the WA with the intent of finding a solution - and that the UK’s first recourse will be arbitration. 3/5

This week the Bank of England suggested the UK economy could suffer its deepest recession in 300-years. The possibility of a V-shaped recovery is encouraging, but will be incredibly challenging.

Just as with the public health crisis, we need to hope for the best, plan for the worst.

The PM is right to put public health first. He'll also be conscious that the longer a full lockdown is maintained, the more businesses will collapse. 2/
Small businesses, and 16M livelihoods that depend on them, are particularly vulnerable. The accumulation of longer-term damage to the economy will accelerate in coming weeks. A 4-month lockdown is not twice as bad as a 2-month lockdown. The impact will be many times more. 3/
