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.

Yorkshire. Where legends are made and brews are strong!

From the Brontës to brass bands, from coalfields to cricket pitches, and from the markets to the moors — God’s own county is the best place on Earth…

… not that we ever mention it!! 😉

Happy #YorkshireDay!

One year as Security Minister.

A privilege to work with our intelligence and security services, @terrorismpolice.bsky.social, @nca-uk.bsky.social and Government colleagues to keep the UK safe. They do vital work—mostly in the shadows, always in our service.

We owe them a great debt.

We won’t tolerate criminal gangs smuggling narcotics into the UK.

That's why the Government is deepening security partnerships with Colombia and Ecuador to disrupt, deter and defeat the violent networks which threaten the safety of communities at home and abroad.

8 years ago today, the Manchester Arena attack took 22 lives and left a scar on our nation.

Thanks to tireless campaigners like Figen Murray – who turned unimaginable loss into Martyn’s Law – tougher safety rules at public venues are becoming reality.

Terror must never win.
