The latest figures show robbery, theft, residential burglary and knife crime are down in London, but there's still a long way to go before I’m satisfied. Backed with record funding from City Hall, the Met is putting high-visibility policing at the heart of fighting crime.

From Exeter to Sunderland, Labour is creating new Construction Technical Excellence Colleges. State-of-the-art settings, backed by £100m, set to train 40,000 learners. Greater opportunity, more homes, stronger growth – all part of our Plan for Change. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Great piece in The Mirror by Rachel Reeves on what she has done as Chancellor to get Britain’s economy back on track and start to turn it around. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Great to meet Federal Minister Schnieder in #Hamburg to agree a landmark agreement, building on the UK-Germany Friendship Treaty signed by Keir Starmer. We've established a new taskforce with Bundesministerium für Verkehr to explore a direct rail link, paving the way for a better-connected Europe.🚄🇬🇧🇩🇪

The economy is growing after a decade and a half of stagnation. This matters - it’s growth in GDP/capita that raises wages and living standards. There is much, much more to do to get bills down, pay up and to invest in this country’s future once again, but progress is underway

The UK economy defied expectations and grew at a faster rate than forecast. There is much to be done but it is encouraging that it is performing better than expected. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

UK growth up again. Of course there is much more to do but stronger growth helps people become better off. It is movement in the right direction for the country.

He was acquitted by a jury. She pleaded guilty. You know these things and yet you put out this rank stupidity. I know your party is struggling for attention but this is worse than pathetic, though it is also that. It's dangerous.

Trump rolls out the red carpet for a war criminal. On American soil. The U.S. government should be arresting Putin, not hosting him. Shameful and embarrassing.

This is how an American president should treat Putin. No laughs, no fun handshakes, no casual conversation. You treat him like the war criminal that he is. Instead, Trump rolls out the red carpet and embraces him.

One case involved someone pleading not guilty and being acquitted by a jury, the other case involved someone pleading guilty. This is relevant when comparing the two cases.
