This is good news for barristers who will start to receive increased fees this year. We recognise the need for urgent reform which is why @MoJGovUK is investing £135m. Thank you @thebarcouncil for constructive engagement on this important issue.
It’s now for certain - in July we’ll legislate to increase most criminal legal aid fees by 15%.
New rates apply from 30 Sept 2022 to schemes inc: police station; magistrates; AGFS & parts of LGFS. Good news for criminal barristers & solicitors. My stmt👇

Thank you @ranil for speaking at the Solent Business Forum today in Fareham about your important work- like signing trade deals with new partners - at @tradegovuk & the exporting & investment opportunities for local businesses. #Globaltrade #GlobalBritain
Larkin and Owen are two of our finest poets. Removing their work from the curriculum is cultural vandalism.
Their work must be passed on to future generations - as it was to me. I will be speaking to the exam board to make this clear.

Today, I will table legislation that will give employers the freedom to recruit skilled, temporary staff to plug vital roles during strike action.
This new law will help protect the British public from future disruption caused by militant trade unions👇🏿

‘We are living in a Churchillian moment that calls upon our leaders to do as Churchill did. To see the coming threat before others do; to warn our citizens early, often, & with clarity; & to rally the free world to meet the threat head-on.’ 1/2
Our modern Bill of Rights will strengthen the UK tradition of freedom of speech, and better protect the public from dangerous criminals.

The strikes will harm the economy and cost British businesses millions of pounds. And just as importantly they will disrupt vital services, like operations on the NHS and GCSE exams. There will be no trains in or out of Dorset on the strike days. 2/
One week on from the spectacular #PlatinumJubilee weekend I'd like to thank all those who helped make the celebrations happen.
A huge team effort. Well done to all!
Home ownership is what overwhelmingly, people in this country want.
It’s good for society, great for the economy, it drives jobs and growth – that’s why we’re supporting it.
Great to hear from the speakers across Government on the Russia/Ukraine conflict at the #GovernmentLegalProfession International Law Conference2022. Thank you in particular to the Rt Hon Suella Braverman QC MP, Attorney General, and Professor Dapo Akande for your insights.
As @Conservatives, we have a clear choice this morning and in the weeks ahead: unite and deliver for the British people, or waste the next two years arguing among ourselves. A Labour-SNP-Lib Dem coalition would be an absolute disaster: it is in our hands whether to enable it.
Leadership is always a heavy burden. @BorisJohnson was one of the first who realized the menace of 🇷🇺 & stood by @ZelenskyyUa to protect the free world from barbaric invasion. The world needs such leaders. The UK is a Great friend of 🇺🇦. 🇬🇧 crown is a shield of democratic world.
@BorisJohnson has my full support. He is delivering for our country: rebuilding after Covid, supporting families with the cost of living and restoring UK leadership around the world. Let’s unite and work together as a team.

✅ Getting people into work is the best way to help families tackle the global cost of living pressures.
Today I’m visiting Northern Ireland with a clear message: the UK government will play its part to ensure political peace & democracy, but the parties must come together to restore power sharing and tackle cost of living pressures.

However, by this first trial, we are sending a clear signal that every perpetrator, every person who ordered or assisted in the commission of crimes in Ukraine shall not avoid responsibility.
