We're launching a new taskforce with Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to prevent foreign extremists from entering the country and spreading hate.

The world has seen an unacceptable rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred since Hamas' attack on Israel.

This will never be allowed in the UK.

At the end of last year, we unveiled plans for the biggest-ever cut in migration.

This included banning the vast majority of postgraduate students from bringing dependants to the UK.

Today new data showed applications for dependants were down 80%.

Our plan is working.

To hear the 13 year old victim of this morning’s appalling attack in Ilford has died is heartbreaking.

I send my heartfelt condolences to the family.

This will be an incredibly challenging time for the local community and my thoughts remain with all those affected.

When we promised to tackle fraud we meant it:

✅ Set up the National Fraud Squad
✅ Oversaw a fall of over 500,000 fraud offences
✅ Delivered the world's first Online Fraud Charter

Our message to fraudsters is clear. Break the law and you will face justice.

Over £1 billion in illegal crypto transactions take place in the UK each year.

Drug dealers, fraudsters and terrorists use crypto to hide and raise money.

We’re giving law enforcement new powers to seize, freeze and destroy crypto assets.

Hostile foreign acts will never be tolerated on UK soil.

Our National Security Act has allowed charges to be brought against individuals alleged to be carrying out harmful activity that assists the Russian state.

If you threaten UK security, you will face justice.

I’m being briefed on operational plans by Metropolitan Police ahead of protests tomorrow.

Those organising any form of action should engage fully with the police, follow instructions & stay within the bounds of the law.

This is how we ensure London remains a safe & tolerant city.

The Terrorgram collective promote terrorism. They are a neo-fascist and antisemitic group.

They have no place in our country.

From today, any member of the group - or anyone who invites supports for it - will face the full force of the law.

Burglaries violate the place we should feel safest.

That is why we have placed more officers on the beat to drive down crime, with forces now attending every reported home burglary on our streets.

We turn to the police in the hardest moments of our lives - that is never more true than with violent crime.

We’ve taken action:

➡️ Removed 138,000 dangerous weapons from the street
➡️ Banned zombie-style machetes & knives
➡️ Funded services to address the root causes of crime

The Terrorgram Collective aren’t just a threat to our national security. They’re a threat to the principles and values that define us as a society.

That’s why they will be proscribed.
