🇬🇧🤝🇷🇼 The UK-Rwanda partnership is the type of int'l co-operation needed to make the global immigration system fairer, keep people safe, & give them chances to thrive. It will help break the evil people smugglers’ business model, save lives, & protect the genuinely vulnerable.

Our new partnership with Rwanda shows we can no longer accept the status quo. People are dying and the global migration crisis requires us to find new ways to work in partnership. It will deal a major blow to the evil people smugglers. This is what it means 👇🏽

Asked what he thinks of Sadiq Khan decriminalising Class B drugs in London: "I’m not in favour of us changing the law or decriminalisation, and I’m very clear about that."

EXCLUSIVE: Home Secretary @pritipatel will change the law so detectives can obtain a search warrant for papers withheld by Moors Murderer Ian Brady, four years after his death. Could they reveal grave of Keith Bennett, killed by Brady and Myra Hindley in 1965? Full story:

Just announced: We're introducing a new £800 fine for those attending 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬. This will double for each repeat offence up to a maximum of £6,400. At this crucial time, please stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

If you do not follow the rules, then the police will enforce these tougher fines. We need to stop the spread of the virus. Attending a house party puts everyone's health at risk. Stay home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

Building on our success in combatting county line gangs, today Home Secretary @PritiPatel announced an investment of £148 million to take down criminal gangs and protect our communities.

We're building on our progress to tackle county lines gangs & protect communities. Today's £148m boost delivers more resources for police & @NCA_UK to continue dismantling organised criminal gangs & drugs supply – & the largest investment in drugs treatment & support in 15 yrs.

Home Sec @pritipatel ‘I will do all I can in my role as Home Secretary and the most senior female politician from an ethnic minority background in the country to reach out to our wonderfully diverse ethnic communities to support the largest vaccination programme in NHS history.’

Today I joined @MetPoliceUK officers to see the vital work they’re doing to protect the public against the spread of Covid right now. I want to pay tribute to police across the country continuing to enforce these rules to save lives - all while risking their own health. 📸: @PA

@UKLabour Oh... apart from when she was out with our brave police this morning, later taking questions from the media on this exact matter. https://t.co/i78J7yzz63

It’s clear that @AndyBurnhamGM has failed the people of Greater Manchester.

One year on from the election, this Government is delivering on the People’s Priorities.

Today I have made significant changes to the Windrush Compensation Scheme so that those who were wronged will now receive significantly more money, faster. All of the changes apply retrospectively and more offers will be made this week. https://t.co/WL3ZGo3W7e

READ: ⁦@pritipatel⁩ and ⁦@derekwebley⁩ on important changes to the #Windrush compensation scheme. “After Windrush we must go further to help those who need it” https://t.co/mugjdTDtIS

Windrush victims to be offered ‘turbocharged’ payments Good news here from ⁦@pritipatel⁩ https://t.co/riciYYqRqU

This right here is a demonstration of @UKLabour in power. @AndyBurnhamGM has failed in his job to keep the people of Greater Manchester safe.

This was a callous attack in Nice this morning and my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. I stand with our neighbours in France at this tragic time.

Good news! @LibDemLords motion on grace period for EU citizens defeated. It would have ended EU citizens’ right to apply for settlement six months earlier than planned by the Government.

All they do is criticise and blame without setting out an alternative plan. Sir Keir says one thing one day and another the next Labour are still focused on the sort of political point scoring that people decided to move on from at last year’s election
