Protecting the public doesn’t end at the prison gate. A strong Probation Service protects victims, cuts reoffending and keeps our streets safe.
There are now 6% more probation staff than a year ago, including 14% more frontline probation services officers working in our communities.
And we’re backing our Probation Service by investing a record £700m to strengthen public protection, cut reoffending and keep offenders under tighter supervision than ever before.

Roy Hattersley was a giant of the Labour movement.
Through decades of service, including as deputy leader and a minister, he never lost his belief in a more equal Britain.
My thoughts are with his wife Maggie and his family.

Twelve years serving Bloomsbury leaves me with a heart full of stories & I end this chapter by writing one of them for @NewJournal
Thank you, for the space to reflect. It’s been a privilege, a joy & occasionally worn‑out soles & many multistorey buildings without lifts 😜 – at City of London, London

Full-length Darren Jones speech on Badenoch’s stunt. In my humble opinion, Darren’s contribution to Labour has been significant.

The justice minister confirms changes to civil legal aid rules to give providers ‘greater flexibility’.
We told @lawsocgazette any move to remove contract requirements must be balanced so those who rely on face‑to‑face support can still access it.

Joint working between the UK and EU is, and always has been, critical for our common defence.
@FightBach makes the case for prioritising this in an increasingly uncertain global environment at the PPA in Brussels last week.

Labour have been in office for less than two years
How long do you think it takes to build a naval vessel?
This isn’t Labour’s fault. This is the fault of years of Tory austerity

Civil legal aid is a vital public service that supports our communities and reduces the strain on other public services.
We tell @legalfutures as our head of justice, Richard Miller, gives evidence to the Justice Committee.

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children.
