Deeply saddened to hear of the death of brilliant @thetimes reporter Andrew Norfolk. His reports of the grooming gang trial I prosecuted were utterly searing and always accurate. An exceptional journalist. Five jailed for sex attacks on trapped girls thetimes.com/article/845624…

It's been a privilege to serve as Lord Chancellor. My deepest thanks to the brilliant lawyers, @moj public servants and @hmpps professionals who have supported me in this ancient and essential role. I have sought to do my duty, and send my successor every good wish #ruleoflaw

Congratulations to Max Wilkinson on his victory. This is a great personal achievement, and he will now serve an exceptional community – made up of talented, humane, thoughtful and decent people. His success will be #Cheltenham’s success, and I wish him well.

Take it from someone who has appeared in a few TV debates: if you can only talk about the past, like Keir Starmer did tonight, it’s because you don’t have any plan for the future. @RishiSunak does.

Schools are just the start. Keir Starmer would raise taxes by £2,000. #ITVDebate

That’s it, outside the House of Commons Chamber for the last time. I cease to be an MP at one minute past midnight. It’s been amazing. Thank you to everyone who has made possible over the year. Above all, thank you to Ann-Louise & our family. I could not have done it without you!

Antimicrobial resistance is a global emergency posing a vast threat to our health, development and security. Global deaths from AMR are nearly 5 million a year. We must do more, together. That’s why we’re committing £85 million to support the international community in tackling this.
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk

🇬🇧 The UK has announced £85 million to tackle antimicrobial resistance ahead of a global event hosted by @RoyalSociety today. This follows the publication of a new action plan to confront #AMR last week. See how we're supporting global action 🔻 gov.uk/government/new…

Vile rapists have no place on our streets or in our homes. Data published yesterday shows beyond doubt our plan is working – with adult rape prosecutions the highest they’ve been since 2010. This a major step forward in our mission to ensure survivors see justice delivered.

MPs have this week voted to legislate for a new offence in our Criminal Justice Bill of creating sexually explicit deepfakes. These damaging and degrading images have no place in our society. I told @thesun why we must tackle them 👇 thesun.co.uk/news/27932408/…

Shocked at the attack on prison officers carrying out their duties today in France. My thoughts are with those killed and injured, their loved ones and colleagues. The UK stands with our French partners @justice_gouv @E_DupondM.

I met with fellow G7 Justice Ministers today including @E_DupondM, @MinGiustizia and Japan’s Hiroaki Kadoyama. We discussed military, financial and legal support for Ukraine, and how strengthening their justice system can help Ukraine win the peace as well as the war.

Uniting in support of Ukraine. Preventing illegal migration. Tackling organised crime. Great to meet with my @G7 Justice counterparts to address these global priorities. #G7Italy

Poisonous ideologies and vile extremism have no place in modern Britain. This announcement will ensure the people who spread this hate can’t step foot in our country. We must always stand firm in defending the core British values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.
Home Office@ukhomeoffice

We're launching a new taskforce with @FCDOGovUK to prevent foreign extremists from entering the country and spreading hate. The world has seen an unacceptable rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred since Hamas' attack on Israel. This will never be allowed in the UK.
