1/ At the end of the first quarter of 2023, I’m proud of the action we have taken to:
➡️halve inflation
➡️grow the economy
➡️reduce debt
➡️cut waiting lists
➡️stop the boats
This is our focus. Just this week we’ve...
2/....set out our plan to tackle anti-social behaviour.
I was in Chelmsford on Monday talking to police officers about how the plan will clamp down on offenders and make sure they are swiftly punished – so we can restore pride in the places we call home.
3/ Yesterday we launched our plan to power Britain, from Britain.
We’ve seen the terrible cost of global energy disruption, which is why investing in energy sources here at home is so important.
It won't just drive down prices, but will also create jobs and grow the economy.
4/ In the early hours of this morning we struck the biggest trade deal since Brexit as the UK joins the #CPTPP, a vast free trade area spanning the Indo-Pacific.
I’d like to thank @KemiBadenoch and our trade negotiators for securing this win for British business & growth.
5/ And last (but not least) we're taking action on potholes 🕳️
Under the new regulations coming into force tomorrow utility companies will have to resurface roads to the best possible standard once they have completed their work.
Great news for road users 🚘🚴🚶♀️

I want every young person to get the opportunities they need to thrive.
That's why we're taking bold action to deliver 100,000 more apprenticeships a year.
🧵Here's how we'll do this 👇
1/6
Since 2010, we have revolutionised our apprenticeship system, delivering over 5.8 million starts, now with nearly 70% of occupations covered by apprenticeships.
But we want to go further to ensure the next generation have the security of a high-quality career.
2/6
That's why we have a clear plan to deliver 100,000 more apprenticeships a year by the end of the next Parliament.
We will pay for this by cracking down on rip-off degrees that make students poorer, saving £910 million by 2029-30.
3/6
Introducing National Service. Wondering how it will improve your or your child’s future?
Here are the five things you need to know 👇
🧵 1/6
Every 18-year-old will get the choice of how they do their National Service.
Deciding to either serve their country in the Armed Forces or serve their community by volunteering.
2/6
This bold new model will open up a world of opportunity.
It will make sure young people in the UK get the same chance in life as their peers in allies like Sweden, Norway, Denmark and France - which have all recently introduced or announced new forms of national service.
3/6
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.
