I don't care what anyone says, I believe we can end rough sleeping in Britain.

Today is World Homeless Day, and I don't think anyone in this country should be sleeping rough on our streets. Certainly not tonight.

That's why one of the first commitments I made as Prime Minister was to end rough sleeping. Not manage it. Not reduce it. End it.

And I'm putting over £400 million behind a national drive to get everyone in for Christmas.

And to put my own money where my mouth is, I'm making my latest salary donation from my PM salary to The Passage in Victoria, an amazing charity I visited on my very first day in Downing Street.

All this will help make sure that every person sleeping rough is offered a route off the street and a safe place to stay because, in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, people should not be left to sleep outside with nowhere to turn.

This isn't the finish line. We'll keep building the homes, creating the jobs, and reforming the services to stop people reaching crisis point in the first place.

But today, I wanted to say this: we should never accept rough sleeping as normal. Not in Britain, not in 2026, and not while I'm Prime Minister.

It was a privilege to join @CST_UK today and pay tribute to their extraordinary work.

Their staff and volunteers work tirelessly to protect our fellow citizens.

Our partnership has never been more important as we stand against antisemitism and threats to Jewish people.

Welcome home, @HMSDragon. You’ve done your country proud.

Why is this a difficult question to answer ?

In the face of unimaginable hardship, Ukrainians continue to show remarkable strength.

We stand with Ukraine.

The Greens’ position seems to be that racism against Jewish people is ok because they oppose Israel.

I admire the Green members fighting to get their party back, but we should be in no doubt about the moral failure of their leaders.

It is shocking and must be opposed.

Why do I think Labour's result in Holborn was good? Winning aside, Governing parties usually get hit hard in by-elections (not always Hartlepool was a clear exception). But the drop in Holborn was below the average for defending a seat of by-elections in any post-war parliament.

A formidable attack submarine, HMS Agamemnon's name carries a historical lineage.

Many stories have been written about the previous Agamemnons, and this is where the next chapter begins. Find out more 👇.

Yesterday, Holborn and St Pancras voted for hope.

Congratulations @Sagal_AW and the whole team on a fantastic campaign. Looking forward to working together!

Thank you to the MOD and civilian police and security teams who acted quickly and professionally to arrest two individuals at RAF Molesworth.

We are highly vigilant about potential threats to our military sites and work closely with the police to keep them secure.

The protection of our bases is multi-layered, including physical barriers, patrols, surveillance, monitoring, and counter-drone capabilities.

Today, together with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, we paid tribute to those who were killed in the Russian missile strike on a residential building in Pryluky. The attack claimed 22 lives, including five children. Another 54 people were injured.

I spoke with those affected. We also received reports on the consequences of the attack. More than 100 residential buildings were damaged, as were educational institutions, kindergartens, shops, businesses, and the infrastructure that sustains normal life in the city.

We hear the people – there are issues with shelters and housing in the city. I instructed the head of the regional military administration to promptly help those who, unfortunately, have nowhere to go. And it is important that those affected ultimately receive new homes. Also, as soon as the security situation allows, residents of the destroyed building must be given access to their damaged apartments. The Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine must see to it.

I am grateful to Ed Miliband for coming today to support our people. When our partners are literally standing alongside Ukrainians, it truly matters. Thank you to everyone helping our people on the ground.

No child should have to live in fear of missile attacks.

Today I met Ukrainian children and families affected by Russia's brutal aggression.

Their courage is extraordinary. The UK's support for Ukraine remains unwavering.

This morning along with @ZelenskyyUa I visited Pryluky in Ukraine, the site of a horrific attack by Russia earlier this week.

22 innocent people lost their lives there, including tragically 5 children, as a result of Putin's barbaric war of terror on the Ukrainian people.

My message was clear: we will stand with the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes.

This #NationalCadetsWeek we’re hearing incredible stories about how the skills learned in cadet groups across the country are saving lives.

Thank you and well done to Sam for his hard work and brave intervention to save Nigel. We’re all proud of you.

We strongly condemn the attacks on Abha and King Khalid International Airport infrastructure. 
 
The UK stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia against these reckless Houthi attacks. 
 
Our thoughts are with the families of those killed and all those injured.

@UKinSaudiArabia

I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
 
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
 
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
 
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
 
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

Total support for this. There are plenty of things where we have healthy disagreement, but there are some core values - the things that define us as a country - that are under attack and unity is strength.

It was great for myself and @UKCDS_MOD to meet NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Grynkewich yesterday in London.

@NATO is the cornerstone of our security, and together we stand ready to defend every inch of Allied territory.
