Poisonous ideologies and vile extremism have no place in modern Britain. This announcement will ensure the people who spread this hate can’t step foot in our country. We must always stand firm in defending the core British values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law.

We're launching a new taskforce with @FCDOGovUK to prevent foreign extremists from entering the country and spreading hate. The world has seen an unacceptable rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred since Hamas' attack on Israel. This will never be allowed in the UK.

We are now man-marking a record 15,700 offenders with electronic tags to keep the public safe.   These tags serve as a constant reminder to thousands of offenders that they are being watched: break the rules and face the consequences.

We’d tagged a record 15,700 offenders and defendants at the end of March 2024. That's a 14% increase since the same time last year. Tags can steer offenders and defendants away from crime by verifying their location and using their sweat to monitor their alcohol consumption.

It was a pleasure to catch up with @justicenzgovt Minister Paul Goldsmith this week and reaffirm the close relationship between our two countries. We discussed our shared challenges and the importance of technology to ensure everyone has swift access to justice. 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

Last week we announced new laws to crack down on degrading sexually explicit deepfakes as part of our ongoing determination to end violence against against women and girls. In response, two of the biggest deepfake sites have blocked access to UK users.👇

🚫Sexually explicit deepfakes🚫 We’re creating a new offence so anyone deliberately making a sexually explicit ‘deepfake’ image or video of another person without consent can be prosecuted. If these horrific images are shared, offenders could face jail.

It can feel like David v Goliath when victims face powerful corporations with deep pockets in court. We’re a step closer to levelling the playing field as new legislation to help victims get third party funding for their legal costs has its second reading in Parliament.

For too long non-disclosure agreements have been used to sweep criminality under the carpet and intimidate victims. We're changing the law to ensure they can't prevent victims accessing the advice and support they need. Read more 👇

Yesterday marked the final episode of @JoshuaRozenberg ’s Law in Action which he has used to shine a light on our justice system. I enjoyed sitting down to chat with him last year after my appointment as Lord Chancellor and wish him all the best.
