I just announced a fair way to end the strikes – and already ALL teaching unions are backing it.
It’s a fair deal for workers.
And a fair deal for the British taxpayer.
This is a major breakthrough for parents and families across the country.
Here’s what it means 🧵 https://t.co/fxYmo9w2Hl

The Twelfth of July is an important cultural date enjoyed by many thousands across Northern Ireland.

Re Northern Ireland has a rich cultural tapestry and if it is to continue to make progress, it is vital that people across society show respect and tolerance for those who may hold opposing values, views and traditions to their own.

The unsustainability of Northern Ireland’s finances cannot continue.
We stand ready to work with a restored Executive on budget sustainability but we have a responsibility to ensure public services & management of public funds can continue in its absence.

NI parties need to confront the hard choices they face and produce proposals for the budget that are affordable. https://t.co/PiJw3U1p1K

I want childcare to be truly affordable and available for parents so they don’t have to choose between having a family and a career
That’s why today we’re announcing £204m investment to deliver the largest ever expansion of childcare to support families and help grow the economy https://t.co/fRhBXEh4FC

Re @SteveBakerHW Today, we remember all those who selflessly gave their lives for our freedom, during the First World War. The Battle of the Somme, in particular, has an enduring link with Northern Ireland given the bravery &amp; sacrifice of the 36th (Ulster) Division and 16th (Irish) Division. 2/3

Re @SteveBakerHW It is important to recognise the immense debt of gratitude we owe those brave personnel who served with such distinction. We salute the heroism of all those who fought to defend the freedoms we enjoy today. We will always remember them. 3/3

I am deeply disappointed to be legislating for a budget for NI in the absence of an Executive.
👉 The NI parties need to get back into an Executive so that spending decisions flowing from the budget allocations can be taken by locally elected politicians.

Simply spending more is not the answer to transforming NI’s public services.
The Executive needs to get back up and running to progress much needed and long promised public service transformation and address the systemic issues facing public services in Northern Ireland.
