Victims shouldn’t have to change their lives to stay safe. That's why we’re making sure those who cause harm are held to account. Our new £53m investment will drive the largest-ever rollout to target the most dangerous domestic abuse perpetrators, stopping them from reoffending.
If you're working in the UK illegally: there will be consequences. Operations are already up by 50% - but we won’t stop there. We're ramping up activity targeting illegal working hotspots, focussing on the gig economy and migrants working as delivery riders.

Conservative Shadow Levelling Up Secretary Kevin Hollinrake defends water companies making massive profits and taking huge bonuses, at the same time as they pour billions of litres of sewage into our water supplies, saying that it's "how the system works"
This is what our work on the international stage is all about — delivering for British people. Tackling migration. Creating jobs. Growing our economy.
Intriguing to hear so many of the objections to votes at 16 today. Consciously or otherwise, so many are exactly the same arguments which were used about every single extension of the franchise since the 19th century.
All my thoughts are with the parents and loved ones whose children were involved in the school coach crash in Somerset. It is heartbreaking to learn that a child has sadly died. Thank you to all the emergency services working to respond to this awful tragedy.
Despite the relentless doom from the market-crashing right wing; the 2025 forecast shows the UK in a relative strong position under @UKLabour 👇
Side by side, we're working with Germany to crush the people smuggling gangs and boost our defence exports. Today we've signed a first of its kind agreement to deliver security, growth, and jobs for working people.
Enforcing the UK's borders is non-negotiable. Failed asylum seekers and foreign national offenders will not be allowed to freely roam our streets.
For too long, the tradition of the Great British high street has been under attack from street crime and anti-social behaviour. It's time to respond. This summer, forces throughout England and Wales will increase targeted patrols in the town centres most at risk from crime.
I was honoured to be asked by Daniel Harding to contribute to his book with a letter to my younger queer self! I was apprehensive initially because I hadn’t written anything so personal before, but it was healing and fun 🫶🏽 A privilege to be amongst fantastic contributors.
Until now, people-smugglers have profited from one fundamental assumption: if you come to the UK illegally, you can't be returned to France. Our new returns pilot means for the first time since small boat crossings began - you can be. 🇬🇧🇫🇷
🚨 From 1 August, possession of a Ninja sword in public or private will be illegal. Deadly weapons like these and all other types of knives can be surrendered anonymously at one of the 37 bins being placed in high-risk locations throughout the country.
Word of the day is ‘swullocking’, from 19th-century East Anglian dialect: sultry, sweltering, and sudiferous (sweat-inducing).
And money
Watch this former Tory minister admit that their Rwanda scheme was a total waste of time👇
To those considering dangerous Channel crossings - there is now no guarantee you will remain in the UK. The UK-France pilot agreement undermines the business model of the criminal gangs who profit from endangering the lives of migrants.
'This is a ground-breaking deal' Home Secretary Yvette Cooper was asked on #BBCBreakfast about the 'one in, one out' deal where some migrants arriving on small boats would be returned to France in exchange for the UK to accept an equivalent number of asylum seekers…
