I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief. I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment. Alaa's case has been a top priority for my government since we came to office. I’m grateful to President Sisi for his decision to grant the pardon.

This government will not stand by while children are put at risk online. Today I am calling on the tech companies to introduce device-level controls to prevent children from taking, sharing or viewing nude images. And if they don’t act, we will.

Musk. Vance. Farage. Lowe. They know what they are doing. They are far more calculated than it may seem. This has been a difficult week and they have sought to weaponise it for their own malevolent means despite the express wishes of the Nowak family, We must call out their hatred and fight for the values we believe in. Fairness, diversity, tolerance, equality. They hate it all. And each of them uses their platform to try and undermine these values that we cherish. The vast majority of people can see what they are trying to do and want it to stop. We need to stand together to ensure that happens.
