Today we remember the life of Jo Cox. Ten years ago we lost a remarkable force for good in our world. Jo’s commitment to delivering change was an inspiration & she had achieved so much. My thoughts today are with Jo’s family - who keep her flame & passion alive. #moreincommon

Today marks ten years since Jo was killed. We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. 1/2

I’m thinking of the late Roy Hattersley and his family today. He was always such interesting, engaging company. Speaking to him together with Neil Kinnock, to whom he was such a loyal and effective Deputy Leader, was an evening to remember.

Sad news. I’ll always remember our many chats on Harold Wilson & Labour history. Insightful, driven by a burning sense of injustice and always kind, Roy was a remarkable politician and writer who served the Labour Party and the country with distinction.

Overnight, @RoyalMarines and @NCA_UK officers boarded a Russian shadow fleet tanker, the first operation of its kind led by the UK. I'm incredibly proud of everyone involved who showed great skill, professionalism, and courage. This is another blow to Putin’s war machine.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not

The post-Brexit world is all about choices. If we want to deliver cheaper bills and improve the lives of British people, we must build a relationship with the EU that takes us forward, not backwards.

82 years ago, on the beaches of Normandy, brave British and Allied forces changed the course of history forever. We must never forget the service and sacrifice of those courageous men and women. Our debt to them can never be repaid.

It’s clearly the right outcome that the Court of Appeal will review the sentences of this distressing case.

This is a harrowing and brave testimony. The girls at the heart of this case have shown extraordinary bravery and strength in heinous circumstances. This is an appalling case and it is right that law officers are urgently reviewing the sentences.

I want every family to have fun this summer. That's why I’m cutting VAT on children’s activities and meals with Great British Summer Savings. Our economic plan is the right one, to support families and businesses, and build a stronger and more secure Britain.
