Robberies are down since before the pandemic by nearly a quarter!
We now have more police officers than ever before; I've doubled the number of officers in neighbourhood policing and neighbourhood crime is down.

Restoring dignity and respect to women in health services, this should never have been necessary, but it's very welcome.

Very good progress on reducing crime here. Murder down 7% since 2010 too. More to do on knife crime in London (where Sadiq Khan is failing) and shop theft, but overall crime is down a lot
Labour have sniped about our childcare expansion for months, saying it wouldn't work.
We've now delivered the first stage of it, with 200,000 benefitting from 15 hrs a week childcare for their 2-yr-olds.
And Labour are once again exposed as having no plan, no policy and no idea
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.๐
Delighted to have hosted Minister

We welcome the government's announcement that the application threshold for Stalking Protection Orders will be lowered from the criminal to the civil threshold.
Stalking Protection Orders are a crucial part of the policeโs public protection armoury and effective in the prevention & interruption of this crime.
We are making them easier for police to apply for, to give victims the strongest protection possible
Very supportive of this brilliant campaign that recognises the environmental significance and rare beauty of the North Wessex Downs AONB & hope that
@NaturalEngland
will agree
Another *extraordinary* update: the nudify app behind the abuse of so many women, especially teenage girls,
#ClothOff
has also been blocked for UK users.
This reduces the easy access & normalisation of AI generated sexual abuse. Criminalisation makes a difference

๐ฅThis is fantastic news!!
The week we announced the Government is clamping down on deepfakes, the scumbags behind the worlds largest deepfake website have suspended access to users in the U.K.
Good riddance!
Change is possible! largest most notorious deepfake sexual abuse website has blocked access to UK users. This follows announcement this week to criminalise creation as well as sharing. This has always been my main justification for using the criminal law
Having hit the milestone of 150,000 children benefitting from this Government's expansion of childcare at the beginning of the month, we are delighted to see more than 195,000 2-yr-olds now receiving their 15 hours.
A lamentably irresponsible response by the

to Dr Hillary Cassโ landmark report: the most detailed and comprehensive research ever conducted into the treatment of children with puberty blockers.
No wonder theyโve deleted it
"98% of it is pornographic and 99% of the subject matter is a woman."
Creating deepfake porn is to be a criminal offence after our investigation.
Safeguarding Minister Laura Farris tells
@cathynewman
deepfake porn is "inherently misogynistic" and explains the new law.
Quite right for Rishi Sunak to point out that he consistently and correctly warned about Liz Truss's policies.
He can also claim to have been the person in government most worried about inflation even before the invasion of Ukraine.
Well deserved economic credibility.
Degrading. Violating. Dehumanising.
Sexually explicit โdeepfakesโ โ made without the consent of the victim โ cause real-life trauma.
