Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for coronavirus.
I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government’s response via video-conference as we fight this virus.
Together we will beat this. #StayHomeSaveLives

It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.
The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past. #StayHomeSaveLives
Disgraceful scenes in U.S. Congress. The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.
Last night, on the advice of my doctor, I went into hospital for some routine tests as I’m still experiencing coronavirus symptoms. I’m in good spirits and keeping in touch with my team, as we work together to fight this virus and keep everyone safe.
Vladimir Putin your speech is a fraud and a disgrace. The world must never accept your sham referendums or your cruel and illegal attempt to colonise Ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and will support them without flinching until their country is whole and free.
Today I met my friend President in Kyiv as a show of our unwavering support for the people of Ukraine.
We're setting out a new package of financial & military aid which is a testament of our commitment to his country's struggle against Russia’s barbaric campaign.

On behalf of the whole country, I want to thank all the incredible nurses, doctors, NHS support staff & carers who are working flat out to fight coronavirus 👏 #ClapForOurCarers #ClapForNHS
To help them, and protect the NHS, we need everyone to stay at home #StayHomeSaveLives
Tonight we have left the EU - an extraordinary turning point in the life of this country. Let us come together now to make the most of all the opportunities Brexit will bring - and let’s unleash the potential of the whole UK. 🇬🇧
My best wishes to President Trump and the First Lady. Hope they both have a speedy recovery from coronavirus.
People have a right to protest peacefully & while observing social distancing but they have no right to attack the police. These demonstrations have been subverted by thuggery - and they are a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve. Those responsible will be held to account.

I just spoke to to congratulate him on his election. I look forward to strengthening the partnership between our countries and to working with him on our shared priorities – from tackling climate change, to promoting democracy and building back better from the pandemic.
Thank you to everyone across our great country who voted, who volunteered, who stood as candidates. We live in the greatest democracy in the world.
Thank you all for the incredible honour you have done me. The time for campaigning is over and the time for work begins to unite our country and party, deliver Brexit and defeat Corbyn. I will work flat out to repay your confidence
I want to say a huge thank you on behalf of the whole country to everyone working in our NHS, of every specialism and role, in our fight against the coronavirus pandemic. We’ve never needed you more than we do today.
I say thank you for the trust you have placed in us, and in me.
We will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver on your priorities with a parliament that works for you.
Thank you to everyone who is saving lives by staying at home this weekend.
I know it's tough, but if we all work together and follow the guidance we will beat #coronavirus.

Mr President, Volodymyr,

Racist thuggery has no place on our streets. Anyone attacking the police will be met with full force of the law. These marches & protests have been subverted by violence and breach current guidelines. Racism has no part in the UK and we must work together to make that a reality.
Congratulations to on this historic day, this is the moment for every Conservative to give our new PM their full and wholehearted support.
I am appalled by the horrific events in Ukraine and I have spoken to President Zelenskyy to discuss next steps.
President Putin has chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction by launching this unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
The UK and our allies will respond decisively.

I’d like to say thank you to all the brilliant NHS staff taking care of me and others in this difficult time. You are the best of Britain.
Stay safe everyone, and please remember to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.
Incredibly sad news about Shinzo Abe.
His global leadership through unchartered times will be remembered by many. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the Japanese people.
The UK stands with you at this dark and sad time.
To the people of Ukraine: Slava Ukraini.
To the people of Russia: I do not believe this war is in your name.
This crisis, this tragedy, can and must come to an end. Because the world needs a free and sovereign Ukraine.

Corbyn and his surrender bill would mean years of uncertainty and delay. I am determined to lead this country forward and take Britain out of the EU on October 31st 🇬🇧
This country has made a huge effort, a huge sacrifice, and done absolutely brilliantly well in delaying the spread of the virus.
But in this fine weather, please don't be tempted to break the regulations. I urge everyone to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media.
Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves.

My thoughts are with the people of India and rescue workers in Uttarakhand as they respond to devastating flooding from the glacier collapse. The UK stands in solidarity with India and is ready to offer any support needed.
Congratulations to on being sworn in as President of the United States and to on her historic inauguration. America’s leadership is vital on the issues that matter to us all, from climate change to COVID, and I look forward to working with President Biden.
The referendum result must be respected.

Alexey 's decision to return to Russia after being poisoned was a truly brave and selfless act. In contrast, today's ruling was pure cowardice and fails to meet the most basic standards of justice. Alexey Navalny must be released immediately.
Today I have signed the Withdrawal Agreement for the UK to leave the EU on January 31st, honouring the democratic mandate of the British people.
This signature heralds a new chapter in our nation’s history.
Corbyn and his friends in Parliament don’t trust you to make this decision - but I do. Let’s put it to the people: more delay with Corbyn’s #SurrenderBill, or Brexit delivered on October 31st 🇬🇧
I spoke to President earlier to reiterate the UK's unwavering support for Ukraine – we will supply vital defensive aid for as long as it's needed.
Thank you for your friendship Volodymyr, you’re a hero, everybody loves you.

Congratulations to Ukraine for winning the Song Contest 2022.
It is a clear reflection of not just your talent, but of the unwavering support for your fight for freedom.
Incredibly proud of and how he brilliantly represented the UK tonight.
To show our friends in Brussels that we're united in our purpose, MPs should vote with the govt against Corbyn’s pointless delay.
I want everybody to know, there are no circumstances in which I will ask Brussels to delay. We are leaving on 31 Oct, no ifs or buts. 🇬🇧
Great to speak to President this evening. I look forward to deepening the longstanding alliance between our two countries as we drive a green and sustainable recovery from COVID-19.
Jeremy Corbyn wants to cancel the referendum and argue about Brexit for years. I am committed to leading our country forward and getting Britain out of the EU by October 31st #LeaveOct31
I want to thank you, the British public, for the immense privilege of serving you as Prime Minister.
I want you to know that from now until my successor is in place, your interests will be served and the government of the country will be carried on.

We stand side by side with India in the shared fight against COVID-19. Vital medical equipment is on its way from the UK to India to help stop the tragic loss of life from the virus and we’ll continue to work closely with the Indian government during this difficult time.
I can confirm that we are past the peak of this disease.
We are past the peak and we are on the downward slope.
And we have so many reasons to be hopeful for the long term.
But we can only defeat coronavirus by our collective discipline and working together.
She showed the world not just how to reign over a people, she showed the world how to give, how to love and how to serve.
It was that indomitability, that humour, that work ethic, that sense of history which together made her Elizabeth the Great.
Utterly appalled and saddened to hear about the despicable attack on Shinzo Abe.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

. has achieved great things as PM of Japan - for his country and the world. Under his stewardship the UK-Japan relationship has gone from strength to strength in trade, defence and our cultural links. Thank you for all your years of service and I wish you good health.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, and however you’re celebrating, have a very happy Christmas, and I’ll see you all again in the New Year.
We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment #GetBrexitDone #TakeBackControl
If you don’t follow these instructions, you are putting people’s lives at risk:

When Ukraine wins, that is a message that will be heard around the world. So let us help them win, not next year or the year after, but this year, 2023
Thank you for all the wonderful messages you sent me when I was unwell, and for all you are doing to keep yourselves and others safe.
The decision by Chelsea and Manchester City is – if confirmed – absolutely the right one and I commend them for it.
I hope the other clubs involved in the European Super League will follow their lead.
We will get through this together, and we will beat the virus.
To win this fight, we need everyone to follow our advice: as far as possible, we want you to stay at home. The more effectively everyone does this, the faster this country will recover.

This morning I took part in a minute’s silence to remember those workers who have tragically died in the coronavirus pandemic. The nation will not forget you.
We have taken decisive action tonight with our international partners to shut Russia out of the global financial system, including the important first step of ejecting Russian banks from SWIFT.
We will keep working together to ensure Putin pays the price for his aggression.
80 years ago Hitler invaded Poland and triggered WWII, but the Polish people never succumbed to tyranny. We shall always remember their magnificent contribution to the struggle for freedom. 🇬🇧🇵🇱 #80WW2
To those going against the advice we're getting from our experts, you're not only putting your own life and the lives of your family at risk, you're endangering the community and you're making it more difficult for us to protect the NHS and save lives. #StayHomeSaveLives
Thank you President . Your powerful and passionate appeal must be heard. There is nothing to be lost and everything to be gained by sending planes now. 🇬🇧🇺🇦 #UkraineMustWin

Let us work peacefully and lawfully to defeat racism and discrimination wherever we find it, and let us continue to work together as we put Britain back on its feet.
I have been proud to serve as leader of the Conservative Party for the last three years, winning the biggest majority for decades, getting Brexit done, overseeing the fastest vaccine rollout in Europe and giving vital support to Ukraine.
We cannot stand by while Russian long-range artillery flattens cities and kills innocent civilians.
The UK will gift the Ukrainian Armed Forces multiple-launch rocket systems so they can effectively repel the continuing Russian onslaught.
I’ve been PM for 57 days, part of my job is to talk to people on the ground and listen to what they tell me about the big problems. It doesn’t matter if they agree with me.
I’m glad this gentleman told me his problems. This isn’t an embarrassment this is part of my job.

Now people must stay at home to support you, so that you can be there to support us in our hour of need. #StayHomeSaveLives
Here are my New Year predictions! Inflation will continue to turn down. China will recover from omicron. Putin will lose in Ukraine. And, all in all, 2023 will be a considerable improvement on 2022. Dare to dream. Happy New Year!
Britain would not be Britain without its Jewish community. And we will stand with you and celebrate with you - at Chanukah and all year round.
Great to hear you’re no longer running scared. The voters have a choice: getting Brexit done with me, or the pointless delay you’re offering. Name the date.

Tonight played their hearts out. What a fantastic performance from Gareth Southgate’s squad.
Now to the final. Let’s bring it home 🏴
We have further isolated Russia from the international financial system this morning. Working with our partners, and the G7, we are determined to impose the most severe economic measures possible against President Putin for his abhorrent campaign against Ukraine. Putin must fail.
Tonight I proudly clapped outside 10 Downing Street for our fantastic NHS and carers. Thank you all for everything you are doing.
