In Odessa today with @ZelenskyyUa I made clear that Britain's commitment to stand with the Ukrainian people is steadfast.
We will step up UK support for Ukraine with a new military aid package and stand shoulder to shoulder with our Ukrainian friends for as long as it takes.
NEW We've finally had the Government's amendment to the Coronavirus Bill spelling out its proposals on evictions, and I'm afraid it's now clear Boris Johnson has broken his promise to the country's 20 million renters 1/4 publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill…
This is not an evictions ban, as Labour argued for, and renters were eventually promised by Boris Johnson. This legislation does not stop people losing their homes as a result of coronavirus, just gives them some extra time to pack their bags 2/4
It beggars belief that the Govt is not willing to make this simple change. We wrote to give Ministers the legislation to provide the protections renters need: ban evictions and suspend rental payments beyond the crisis. This is the help promised for struggling home-owners 3/4
