You cannot be an illegal asylum seeker. Seeking asylum is a human right protected by article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. All 192 members of the @UN have signed it. #greatbritainnotlittlebritain

I dropped my son Luke off at his new job today. He will be a tutor for international sixth form students. So excited he has found a way to use both his skills and compassion. All the best son, cheering you on. Love Dad.

We need a PM in @10DowningStreet who's willing to put the needs of the nation ahead of personal or party ambition. There are so many challenges facing the poor, the vulnerable & refugees we can't waste time with party politics we need a united approach to face the crises.

So sad to hear about the death of @rachelheldevans I loved the way she fearlessly asked questions, challenged hypocrisy and championed women. Prayers for her husband and young children at this difficult time.

I have lost count of the number of foster children I have taught to ride a bike. There is great joy in knowing each one has learned a skill for a lifetime. Today my youngest cracked not just riding in a straight line but cornering too! #ilovefostering
