Operations like this require skill, professionalism and courage. I pay tribute to our Armed Forces personnel and all those involved.
Russia relies on its shadow fleet to fund their conflict in Ukraine and our interdiction delivers another blow to Putin's illegal war.
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 let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The defence of our nation is the first duty of government.
Our Armed Forces carry out that duty every day with professionalism, courage, and extraordinary skill.
It is a huge honour and a privilege to serve alongside them again.

It’s been an immense honour to serve as Security Minister and work alongside the outstanding public servants in government, the security services, policing, and the NCA.
They do vital work to keep our country safe — mostly in the shadows, always in our service.
Thank you.

My thoughts are with the victim of the horrifying attack in Belfast.
Our emergency services responded bravely to the shocking violence that followed it.
Those responsible will face the full force of the law.

Foreign states are increasingly hiding behind proxies to carry out hostile attacks against our country.
That's why we’ve today introduced the National Security (State Threats) Bill: arming law enforcement with stronger powers to better protect the public.

MI5 and Five Eyes have exposed the tactics China use to secure sensitive information.
I urge all govt and military personnel to read the NPSA advice and be vigilant.
We will never tolerate activity which threatens our national security.

The country owes Sir Alex Younger an enormous debt of gratitude for his lifetime of dedicated service. His outstanding leadership, steadiness and integrity kept us all safe and I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family and his friends at this incredibly difficult time.

Today, we’re launching a new Support Hub for victims and survivors of terrorism.
By providing a single point of contact, specialist caseworkers, and personalised support plans, we will join-up previously fragmented services and help people access the support they need.

We’re taking the fight to the organised criminals who abuse our high streets.
We're backing the police and trading standards to shut down bogus businesses, stop dodgy shops from opening, and put the dirty cash they launder back into the public purse.

We are taking action to strengthen Britain’s national security and defend against threats from hostile states.
New Bills set out in the King’s Speech will help us to take down criminal proxies, crackdown on cyber criminals, and tackle extreme violent content online.

People are worried about current conflicts and looming global crises. They expect their government to lead the country through, as the PM is doing.
More instability is not in Britain’s interest. Our full focus now must be on dealing with immediate economic & security challenges.

We are going after the criminal proxies and dirty money Iran uses to target the UK.
These sanctions disrupt their operations and cut off the cash flow that funds them to help protect the British people.

A tough watch — but Barnsley is a town transformed and Steve has led the way.
Fastest growing economy in the region, a groundbreaking town centre regeneration, Health on the High Street, Pathways to Work, and much, much more.
A record to be proud of.🌹

Hostile activity by foreign powers on our soil will never be tolerated.
These convictions make clear that there will be serious consequences for anyone who puts the safety of people in the UK at risk.
Grateful to @TerrorismPolice and @CPSUK for bringing them to justice.
⚖️ Two men have been convicted of assisting a foreign intelligence service.
Chung Biu Yuen, 65, and Chi Leung Wai, 40, were found guilty today of conducting unauthorised information‑gathering in the UK to benefit China.

The terrorist attack in Golders Green was abhorrent.
An extra ÂŁ25 million will be invested to increase police patrols and security to help keep Jewish communities safe.
We will now fast track legislation so we can further combat the activities of malign state-sponsored groups.

The antisemitic attack in Golders Green is utterly appalling.
Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.
Thank you to Shomrim, Hatzola and the police for acting swiftly. Those responsible will be brought to justice.
