The UK's ranking in @Forbes' 'Best Countries for Business' in the world:

2018: 1st 🇬🇧
2019: 1st 🇬🇧

We're helping businesses to start-up and grow - meaning more jobs, more opportunities and more tax receipts to pay for the public services on which we all rely.🌳

Wait... what was that @JeremyCorbyn just said at #PMQs?

[Philip Hammond @PhilipHammondUK]

Maintaining our world-leading police forces is a priority for this government which is why @sajidjavid and I have agreed to a provisional police funding settlement of up to £14bn – up to £970million more than the previous year and the largest increase in funding since 2010.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

🗣️ @sajidjavid on our increase in police funding: "More money for local police forces, counter terrorism & tackling serious & organised crime.

"It will enable the police to recruit more officers and be better placed to respond to the increasingly complex crimes they face." 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️

What @johnmcdonnellMP won't tell you about Labour's plans.

We would all pay the price with more debt, higher taxes and fewer jobs.
