When we promised to tackle fraud we meant it:
✅ Set up the National Fraud Squad
✅ Oversaw a fall of over 500,000 fraud offences
✅ Delivered the world's first Online Fraud Charter
Our message to fraudsters is clear. Break the law and you will face justice.
Over £1 billion in illegal crypto transactions take place in the UK each year.
Drug dealers, fraudsters and terrorists use crypto to hide and raise money.
We’re giving law enforcement new powers to seize, freeze and destroy crypto assets.
Hostile foreign acts will never be tolerated on UK soil.
Our National Security Act has allowed charges to be brought against individuals alleged to be carrying out harmful activity that assists the Russian state.
If you threaten UK security, you will face justice.
I’m being briefed on operational plans by
@metpoliceuk
ahead of protests tomorrow.
Those organising any form of action should engage fully with the police, follow instructions & stay within the bounds of the law.

The Terrorgram collective promote terrorism. They are a neo-fascist and antisemitic group.
They have no place in our country.
From today, any member of the group - or anyone who invites supports for it - will face the full force of the law.
Today we removed 40 more people with no right to be in the UK, on one of our regular returns flights.
This included foreign criminals with combined prison sentences of more than 50 years.
✅ 20,000 extra police officers on our streets
✅ Forces following up on all reports of theft & criminal damage that could lead to arrest
The strongest deterrent to crime is police visibility.
We are protecting neighbourhoods 👇
Burglaries violate the place we should feel safest.
That is why we have placed more officers on the beat to drive down crime, with forces now attending every reported home burglary on our streets.
We turn to the police in the hardest moments of our lives - that is never more true than with violent crime.
We’ve taken action:
➡️ Removed 138,000 dangerous weapons from the street
➡️ Banned zombie-style machetes & knives
➡️ Funded services to address the root causes of crime
The Terrorgram Collective aren’t just a threat to our national security. They’re a threat to the principles and values that define us as a society.
That’s why they will be proscribed.
Illegal migration is one of the biggest issues we face as a society.

My thoughts are with the school and all those involved.
I want to thank the police & emergency service for their ongoing response. It is important they are given the space to carry out their investigations.
