Honoured to be asked by the Prime Minister to serve as Security Minister. Our national security is the first duty of government. Let's get to work.

Today we mark two years since the horrifying attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7th 2023. Time does not diminish the evil we saw that day. The worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The brutal, cold blooded torture and murder of Jews in their own

This morning's attack is absolutely shocking. I’m on my way back to London to chair an emergency meeting, and additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country. We will do everything we can to keep our Jewish community safe.

I am horrified by the news of an attack at a synagogue in Manchester today, on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. My first thoughts are with the victims, our brave police and emergency services. I am being kept updated by @gmpolice. I urge people to follow the advice of

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

The Foreign Influence Registration Scheme sends a clear message: the UK will not tolerate covert foreign influence. Those engaging in political influence on behalf of foreign powers must register.

Iran's nuclear escalation is unacceptable. The UK government is taking further steps to make clear that Iran cannot act with impunity. These sanctions, alongside our many other measures, impose serious consequences for the Iranian state's destabilising activity.

This Prime Minister and this Government are cracking on with rebuilding our great country. Decency over division. Renewal over retreat. Lots done, lots to do. 🇬🇧🌹

Using public office to further Russia’s malign interests while benefitting financially represents a complete betrayal of our country. This outcome serves as a warning to anyone seeking to undermine our national security. Thank you to law enforcement & CPS for their vital work.

Last year we stopped a record-breaking £484 million of fraud against the taxpayer. We’re clawing back money from phoney Covid loans and stopping illegitimate claims in their tracks. This government will make sure public money goes to public services, not fraudsters.

Barnsley author and poet Ian McMillan shares his memories and a poem he has written for the late Dickie Bird. Listen to more: https://t.co/vgj852EId5 @TobyFoster | @IMcMillan

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dickie Bird. A cricketing legend, Dickie’s warmth, humour, and generosity made him a national treasure — but he never forgot where he came from. Barnsley has lost a true giant. My condolences to his loved ones.

The US President’s State Visit celebrated the strength of the UK–US relationship, showcased Britain at its best and highlighted what our country has to offer the world. I'd like to commend & thank all those involved in the security and policing operation for their hard work.🇺🇸🇬🇧

Today we're fixing the broken Northern Ireland Legacy Act - legislation that failed families seeking truth and left veterans without proper protection. For full video see: https://t.co/jYMhnNQmgw To find out more: https://t.co/8k8cfKizMQ #Veterans #NorthernIreland #ArmedForces

Great to be @sheffhallamuni. Developing the next generation of cyber experts is vital to our national security and economic prosperity. https://t.co/oomzibSKTt

The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to this nation. I thank the police who worked hard to ensure much of today's protest was peaceful. But I condemn those who have attacked and injured police officers. Anyone taking part in criminal activity will face the full force of

We are united with our international allies against Iran’s continued efforts to silence its critics abroad. The UK will continue to ensure the systems in place to detect, deter and counter transnational repression are robust in keeping people safe. https://t.co/Kgo7jXcF8Y

The threats we face are shared and so is our determination to defeat them. Excellent discussions with our Five Eyes partners in London this week. We are united in our commitment to confront terrorism in whatever form it takes. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿

Today is the anniversary of 9/11, a day that changed the world forever. Honoured to attend the memorial at @USAinUK to remember the lives lost and the resolve of the American people. Those who seek to divide us and destroy our way of life will never succeed.

My thoughts this evening are with the loved ones of Charlie Kirk. It is heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband. We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear - there can be no justification for political violence.
