Our borough is the fly-tipping capital of the country - & the mayor is completely failing to get a grip on it. The Police & Crime Bill will ensure local authorities have the tools they need to crack down on waste criminals - like heavy fines, crushing vans and new technology.

My thoughts are with all those affected by the incident at Heathrow this morning. My heartfelt thanks go to the emergency services for their rapid response – and the arrest made. I am being regularly updated on the investigation. Those in the area should follow police advice.

Talking to people this morning about our community. So grateful that people gave us their time - I will be following up lots of issues with the Council. Great to be on the doors with my Labour friends.

Disgraceful incident this morning at the Tower of London. I am grateful to the police for their swift response and for the full investigation, which is now underway. There is a clear difference between the democratic right to protest and unacceptable behaviour.

A Budget that cuts waiting lists, that cuts our debt and borrowing, and cuts the cost of living. That is my commitment to you.

Proud to speak at the #ReducingKnifeHarm conference last week. Together, we’re tackling knife crime and reducing harm with tougher laws, smarter enforcement and better prevention. We’re delivering on our commitment to halve knife crime, and we won’t stop until it’s done.

I’ve seen first-hand the tech helping officers tackle rural crime. Today’s new Rural Crime Strategy launch is a major step to protect Britain’s farms & countryside: ✅ More tech & data-led policing ✅ New powers to recover stolen goods ✅ Stronger support for rural communities

Cumbria is doing a great job putting more police in our neighbourhoods. It was a pleasure to speak at their Neighbourhood Policing Conference in Penrith this morning. This Gov is backing local policing with ÂŁ200m this year for neighbourhood police.
