To Muslims marking Eid al‑Fitr across the UK and worldwide, wishing you a day filled with peace and happiness.

Some of my strongest memories are walking through the turnstiles at White Hart Lane with my dad.
For many of us, Spurs isn’t just a club - it’s belonging, identity, family.
To turn this around, we must remember what this club means: to N17 and beyond👇🏿

Inside the Manosphere by @louistheroux illustrates the need to support boys and young men in Britain with a more positive vision for their future.
As Deputy PM and as a dad, I’m committed to making sure they have the role models, opportunities and support they need to thrive.

This is how far the Conservative Party has fallen. Stoking anti-Muslim hate and dressing it up as ‘British values’.
This does not represent the Britain I know or love - tolerant, diverse and proud of it.
The hate being peddled towards Muslims by the Tories has no place in our politics or our society.

Labour is calling on Kemi Badenoch to sack her Shadow Justice Secretary over his appalling online remarks about Muslims. @annaturley has written to the Tory leader👇

Sikhs, Jews, Hindus and Christians are all invited to mark religious festivals on Trafalgar Square by @SadiqKhan.
Stop fanning the flames of division.

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Happy St Patrick’s Day! ☘️
Great to meet Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD yesterday. The relationship between the UK and Ireland is deep, historic and forward-looking. We’re working together to strengthen cooperation, support peace and prosperity, and build a strong shared future 🇬🇧🇮🇪

Yesterday in Cardiff I met with Wales’ Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies to discuss how we deepen cooperation between the UK and Welsh Governments. Working together is how we deliver growth, strengthen ties and help create opportunity in every part of the UK.

The choice is stark: do nothing and face a 200,000-case backlog by 2035, leaving victims waiting years for justice - or reform the system and restore the promise that justice should be swift and fair.

A huge day for victims today.
Was proud to sign this letter to the Deputy Prime Minister along with some of the incredible women on our benches.
A much needed step if we are to deliver on our promise to halve violence against women & girls.

Rape victims deserve better than a justice system which puts them under the spotlight, rather than the perpetrator.
Our work with @KatrinHohl will change that.
Combined with our new Independent Legal Advisors, we will give rape victims confidence in the system again.

‘The government’s approach to modelling of the impact of the [courts] reforms is sound.’
Delighted to see from the Institute for Government (IfG) after reviewing our courts reform package 👇

This government has announced the largest ever funding package for victims. Right now, too many victims are waiting months - sometimes years - for justice. We are taking action to change that. That’s why we are investing £550 million in victim services over the next three years.

After 14 years of Tory mismanagement, the Criminal Justice System is on the brink of collapse.
Around 80,000 cases are stuck in the backlog - expecting to rise to over 200,000 by 2035.
These aren’t just statistics, these are people’s lives on hold.
Victims waiting months, if not years for justice. Survivors waiting for closure. Families stuck in limbo. Defendants losing their jobs, homes and security.
This Labour government will not stand by while working people pay the price of a failed system.
The Courts Bill is about fixing a system that has been left to fail for far too long.

Having long called for this, I welcome today’s announcement.
Too many victims experience further harm in the justice system - facing disproportionate requests for personal data, delays & poor communication.

"It's really extreme keeping victims in this process and in limbo for so many years."
Victims' Commissioner Claire Waxman explains why she supports the government's plans to fix the court backlog by limiting jury trials for certain crimes.

We're putting victims at the front and centre of the justice system. These measures form part of the Government’s wider plan to halve violence against women and girls within a decade, ensuring victims receive the justice and protection they deserve.

Rape victims deserve a justice system that pursues perpetrators, not one that feels like it is judging them.
We are introducing Independent Legal Advisors for rape victims, ensuring they have dedicated support & protection throughout the justice process.
