1/ The Job Support Scheme will directly support the wages of people in work, giving businesses who face depressed winter demand the option of keeping employees in a job on shorter hours rather than making them redundant.

We’ve seen a worrying trend in our welfare system.

More and more people are being written off work unnecessarily, and spending is growing at an unsustainable rate.

So we’re doing something about it🧵

We now spend £69 billion on benefits for people of working age with a disability or health condition.

That's not right. It's not sustainable.

Today is not about making our safety net less generous. It's about eligibility and who should be entitled to support.

We are changing how the system works.

That includes targeting support to the most vulnerable, and matching the help we give them to their individual needs.

But that’s not all.

Following today’s ruling, I’m taking the extraordinary step of introducing emergency legislation to confirm Rwanda is safe.

I will not allow a foreign court, like the European Court of Human Rights, to block these flights.

Here’s the plan in full ⬇️
1/5

We need to end the merry-go-round.

We’ve been working on a new international treaty with Rwanda and we will ratify it without delay.

We’ll provide a guarantee in law that those who are relocated from the UK to Rwanda will be protected against removal from Rwanda.

2/5

I will not take the easy way out.

I am prepared to change our laws and revisit those international relationships to remove the obstacles in our way.

If the ECHR chooses to intervene against Parliament, I am prepared to do whatever is necessary to get flights off.

Anti-social behaviour is more than just a nuisance - it ruins communities.

In March we launched an Action Plan to stamp it out, making our streets safer and building a better future for our children and grandchildren – and it’s working.

Action taken so far 👇🧵

❌ From 8 November nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, will be illegal.

We won't tolerate intimidation on our streets, or children’s play areas being littered with empty nitrous oxide canisters.

✅ We’ve provided over 30,000 hours of extra uniformed police patrols in ‘hotspot’ areas.

That’s on top of delivering our 2019 commitment to recruit 20,000 more police officers across England and Wales.

This week I took long-term decisions to build a brighter future and change our country.

This change will:

🏘️ Transform our towns
🚆 Boost our transport
📚 Improve our education
🚭 Reduce cancer deaths

Here’s how👇

On Sunday, I slammed the brakes on anti-motorist measures.

For many, our car is a lifeline. We use them to get to work or see our family.

But too often drivers feel under attack.

Our new plan will put drivers back in the driving seat and improve their experience on the road.

Politicians have for too long ignored the real infrastructure needs of our country.

This week I changed that - cancelling the rest of HS2 and reinvesting every single penny, £36 billion, into hundreds of transport projects in the North, Midlands, and across the country.

Politicians have for too long taken towns for granted and focused on cities.

That changes today.

Now we’re putting local people in charge.

And for the first time, towns will be backed by government to succeed for the long term.

This is how 👇🧵

First we’ll ensure towns develop a long-term plan based on local people’s priorities and put the plan to local people for their views.

Second we’ll help make those town plans actually happen.

Over ten years, government will fund high street improvements and restore community heritage with a new £20m endowment-style fund for each town.

We are a nation of drivers.

Most of us use a car every day and, for many, life would be difficult without their car.

But too often, drivers feel under attack.

That changes today with a long-term plan to improve drivers' experience on the road.

Here’s how 👇🧵
