    Keeping Londoners safe is my top priority, and I am working closely with the police to encourage Londoners from all backgrounds to join a bigger and better Met Police service.

I want the Met to represent us all and urge Londoners of all backgrounds to apply to become a police officer and help be the change you want to see. I’m really proud that we now have more police officers than at any other time in London’s history and by joining the police you can help to impact so many lives for the better.

    Rishi Sunak – 2022 Comments on Financial Support to Ukraine

    The comments made by Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 21 April 2022.

    The UK is unwavering in our support to the people of Ukraine and has committed to make over $2bn of financial, humanitarian and military assistance available to Ukraine.

    I urge all likeminded international colleagues to step up, deliver and go further and faster in their economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

    As finance Ministers we face common challenges – a global supply squeeze, rising prices, and the cost of Putin’s aggression.

    It’s more important than ever that we coordinate our efforts to minimise the impacts on ordinary people at home.

    The comments made by Nadhim Zahawi, the Secretary of State for Education, on 21 April 2022.

    We are delivering a better, safer, greener world for future generations and education is one of our key weapons in the fight against climate change. The entrepreneurial, can-do spirit of this country makes me confident that we will win this fight.

    It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that young people are already very committed to a more sustainable planet. We should be proud of this, and I want to do everything I can to encourage this passion so they can be agents of change in protecting our planet.

    The new natural history GCSE will offer young people a chance to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding of this amazing planet, its environment and how we can come together to conserve it.
