I had a wonderful time visiting Bloxham Grove. It is an amazing school dedicated to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
While I was there, I got to explore their fantastic facilities and participated in a school council meeting.

With 33 years' experience, Crown Prosecution Service West Midlands Hannah Sidaway has prosecuted high-profile international and organised crime. Working closely with FBI & U.S. Department of Justice, Hannah played a vital role in the first conviction of British man for 'swatting' offences in the United States.

We believe in the value of work.

That’s why we’re making sure hard work is rewarded.

Great to meet the new Local Policing Commander for Oxfordshire, Chief Superintendent Ben Clark.

We discussed a range of topics, including the changes being made to the operating model of policing in Oxfordshire.

I look forward to working with Ben closely on safety and security.

Good to visit Banbury Community Pantry’s recent coffee event. Founder Andrew Wickham told me more about their hard work in providing food for those most in need with the support of big chains. Their £1-a-visit policy means anybody can access healthy food without any hassle.

I will always back our Armed Forces.

Over the next six years, we’ll invest an additional £75 billion in our defence - fully funded with no increase in borrowing or debt.

Lessons must be learned from Horizon. The work of the Whitehall Prosecutors Group is vitally important to drive up standards and provide an effective forum to discuss collaboration and best practice. Thank you to all who attended yesterday.

Great visiting Easington Sports FC in Banbury. I enjoyed learning more about the excellent work they do to support 600 players.
I am going to be working with Easington and other local sports clubs to see what we can do to improve the provision of sports facilities in our town.

First: we said our support to Ukraine would never waver.

Then: we pledged our largest ever funding to support Ukraine, earlier this year.

Now: we’re going further with a new £500m and our largest ever donation of military equipment. Taking our total support to £3bn this year.

Happy St George's Day to every corner of England! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Chag Pesach Sameach to Jewish communities here in the UK and around the world.

I really enjoyed meeting @banburysams

I heard more about their work supporting those in need and their excellent 7-week training programme for listeners. Their help is available around the clock and is free of charge📞

We are ready.

Plans are in place.

No foreign court will stop us getting flights off.

We’re world leaders in reducing single-use plastics.

Since 2015, we’ve seen billions fewer single-use carrier bags, restrictions on plastic straws, cutlery and plates and a ban on microbeads in cosmetic and personal care products - great news for our planet this #EarthDay 🌍

I always enjoy getting along to watch Banbury United FC play, especially when the sun is shining. ☀️

Today was never going to be an easy final match against league champions Tamworth Football Club, but the Puritans played well and had some good chances. 🔴🟡
