Theresa May Instagram – A privilege to cheer on @officialteamengland at the #CommonwealthGames in Birmingham, having given the go ahead for the bid in 2017. As we host 4,600 athletes from 72 Commonwealth nations and territories these games proudly showcase the UK once again on the global stage. The games are also a valuable source of investment, trade & tourism in the Midlands, creating over 40,000 jobs and volunteering opportunities & leaving a lasting legacy for the region. Thank you to all the athletes, staff & volunteers that have made it possible.
