New laws to tackle harmful pornography are now in force.
What happens online can have real-life consequences. These changes aim to prevent the normalisation of sexual violence and abuse, as part of our wider work to tackle violence against women and girls.

At a moment when international law is under pressure, @DapoAkandeLaw would bring the independence, legal rigour, judgement and unique breadth of perspective that the ICJ needs.
He would make a formidable contribution to its work.

Jack and Paul should still be here today.
I joined their mum, Claire Throssell, to unveil a memorial remembering them and the other 66 children killed.
Claire's tireless campaigning to put children's safety first in the family court is an enduring tribute to her boys.

Tackling violence against women and girls means tackling the misogyny that underpins it.
That's why we're investing £15m in practical action across our communities, from mentoring for young people to workplace training and campaigns that help improve women and girls' safety.
The time for talk has long passed. This government is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting women and girls.
We'll back practical action to confine misogyny to the history books - in public services, workplaces, and online.

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.
Cowardly offenders who refuse to attend their sentencing will be punished in prison under tough new rules set out today.
Judges will be given new powers to restrict prisoners' social visits and confine them to their cells as punishment for not attending.

No one should prepare for court only to be told their trial cannot go ahead because crucial information is missing.
That's why we're piloting an AI tool at Inner London Crown Court to help catch problems early and reduce delays for victims and witnesses.

Three years on from the October 7 attacks in Israel, we remember those who were killed and injured by Hamas terrorists and their loved ones.
We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community against hate and commit to doing all we can to stamp out the evil of antisemitism.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
We’re reforming our courts to tackle waiting lists, reduce delays, and help deliver swifter justice for victims.
🎥 Justice Secretary @AlexJJNorris explains what’s changing.
Victims will get the fast and fair justice they deserve.
We’re taking action on every front to bring down the Crown Court backlog and deliver swifter justice.
