Welcome to Dublin, Prime Minister

Today, British Ambassador @KaraOwen joined the commemoration at @ExpGlasnevin, where she laid a wreath and read ‘In Flanders Fields’.

On #ArmisticeDay, we remember with gratitude all those who served and sacrificed, and all those who lost their lives in conflict.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

What does the Budget mean for the UK's place in the world?

FCDO Chief Economist, Dennis Novy explains ↓

[Lucy Rigby KC MP @LucyRigby]

🧰 🧰 🇬🇧 Start. Scale. Stay.

We want more entrepreneurs to start businesses in the UK, scale them here & stay for the long term.

Our new Entrepreneurship Prospectus, published today, backs founders with better incentives, & better access to customers, capital, talent & government support.

Here’s what we’re doing 🧵👇

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

We want the best entrepreneurs to start, scale and stay in Britain.

That’s why we’re backing businesses at every stage of growth, including with a new Founders’ Relief to encourage founders to scale here and reinvest in the next British success story.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.

It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.

A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.

[British Embassy Dublin @BritEmbDublin]
