You can’t have security without secure borders. Labour’s Borders Bill will give law enforcement the powers they need to smash the criminal gangs. My government is delivering on your priorities.

Tonight Labour voted to bring in counter-terror style powers to go after smuggler gangs & strengthen our borders. 19,000 people with no right to be in UK have been returned since July. We’ve increased returns to the highest rate in 6yrs because rules must be respected & enforced

Ronan Kanda was killed just yards from his home. The killers were teenagers who bought knives online. Thanks to the tireless campaigning of Ronan’s mum, Pooja, we’re announcing a major crackdown on online knife sales, to close lethal loopholes and save young lives. #RonansLaw

Communities shouldn’t have to put up with rising town centre crime, antisocial behaviour or persistent serious violence on our streets. Our Crime and Policing Bill will give police & communities power to take back our streets & town centres and tackle serious violence.

Criminal smuggler gangs operate across borders so law enforcement must cooperate across borders to take them down. In northern France today with Minister Bruno Retailleau to discuss our new stronger law enforcement work to pursue the smuggler gangs. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

It was an honour to welcome Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський to Downing Street and reiterate my unwavering support for Ukraine. I am determined to find a path that ends Russia's illegal war and ensures a just and lasting peace that secures Ukraine’s future sovereignty and security. Slava Ukraini.

This #IWD, really proud of this photo celebrating the record-breaking number of women MPs elected in this Parliament - 263. It’s not quite 50:50 but we are getting there.

Being an officer is an incredibly tough job. I have huge admiration for the women I met this week. Not everyone can do what they do. I want to ensure young women consider a career in policing and are given the opportunity to succeed. #IWD2025 Police Now

On #InternationalWomensDay Nearly 50 years after the first Reclaim the Night march in Leeds, too little has changed. This Labour Government has set a mission to halve violence against women & girls in a decade. Everyone has the right to live in freedom from fear.

Thank you Figen for your tireless campaigning. Martyn’s Law has now passed, thanks to your determination to ensure we learn the lessons from the Manchester Arena attack & boost public safety to keep others safe. Thinking of Martyn & all those who lost their lives that day.

I know how important steel is, not just to Scunthorpe but to the whole country — it's part of our pride and heritage. My government is acting in the national interest to secure its future, protecting British jobs and British workers.

I am appalled by the attack of three brave officers at HMP Frankland today. My thoughts are with them and their families. The police are now investigating. I will be pushing for the strongest possible punishment. Violence against our staff will never be tolerated.

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis. His tireless efforts to promote a world that is fairer for all will leave a lasting legacy. On behalf of the people of the United Kingdom, I share my sincerest condolences to the whole Catholic Church.
