We're all familiar with Great British weather, but it's worth paying attention to @metoffice.gov.uk warnings during Storm Goretti. My thanks to all those working across the country to keep their communities safe.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy Christmas, and a peaceful and prosperous 2026. 🎄🎅🏻

We all have a role to play in keeping each other safe this Christmas. So when you’re out and about, look out for one another, trust your instincts and if something doesn’t feel right, report it at gov.uk/ACT

Foreign interference undermines our democracy, sovereignty and security. Today we're launching an independent review into foreign financial interference to make sure we have the right tools to disrupt and deter threats and protect our national security. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Terribly sad to hear of the death of Lance Corporal George Hooley of The Parachute Regiment who has died following a tragic accident in Ukraine. My thoughts are with his family, friends and unit. We will remember his outstanding service to our country. RIP.

Corruption threatens our national security, undermines legitimate business and steals money from working people’s pockets. By deploying specialist law enforcement capabilities, we will disrupt the serious organised criminals, terrorists and kleptocrats. www.gov.uk/government/p...

“Quiet service is often the most powerful kind”. RIP Paul www.thetimes.com/article/7267...

Victims and survivors of terrorism deserve our unwavering support and recognition. Our new National Day on 21 August will ensure we can stand together as a nation to recognise all that they have endured.

Important w/end representing the UK at the G7 Interior & Security Ministers’ meeting in Ottawa. We agreed: -Greater collaboration on border security -A crackdown on people smuggling gangs using online platforms -Action to tackle transnational repression Much done, much to do.

Using public office to push Russia’s malign agenda is a betrayal of our country and our national security. Nathan Gill will now face the consequences of his actions. We’ll do what is necessary to disrupt and deter interference from foreign states. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8...

“When you go home tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we gave our today.” At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, we fall silent to remember all those who’ve sacrificed in the service of our country. We will remember them.

Remembrance Sunday marks a moment for our country to come together and remember the service of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I will be thinking about them today, and every day. We will remember them.

When good people choose not to stand for public office, out of fear of harassment and intimidation, our democracy is weakened. Peaceful protest is a cherished right, but targeting people’s homes and families crosses a line. We’re putting a stop to it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This Prime Minister and this Government are cracking on with rebuilding our great country. Decency over division. Renewal over retreat. Lots done, lots to do. 🇬🇧🌹

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dickie Bird. A cricketing legend, Dickie’s warmth, humour, and generosity made him a national treasure — but he never forgot where he came from. Barnsley has lost a true giant. My condolences to his loved ones.

The US President’s State Visit celebrated the strength of the UK–US relationship, showcased Britain at its best and highlighted what our country has to offer the world. I'd like to commend & thank all those involved in the security and policing operation for their hard work.

Great to be @sheffieldhallamuni.bsky.social. Developing the next generation of cyber experts is vital to our national security and economic prosperity. www.gov.uk/government/s...

We are united with our international partners against Iran’s continued efforts to silence its critics abroad. The UK will continue to ensure the systems in place to detect, deter and counter transnational repression are robust in keeping people safe. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Proud to see the launch of the UK Afghan Veterans Community. Their work will honour individual stories from Afghanistan and the selfless values demonstrated through service and beyond. Massive thanks to Jonny Ball and Matthew Mallett — we owe you a debt of gratitude 🙏🏼

On Ukraine’s Independence Day, our message to all Ukrainians is simple: we stand with you in defence of your independence and freedom. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Today, on the International Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism, we honour victims and survivors. Their courage inspires our ongoing work to ensure victims and survivors receive the recognition and support they deserve. Support is available here: gov.uk/victimsofter...

To all students in Barnsley and beyond getting your GCSE and VTQ results today — good luck!🤞

Our new migration agreement reinforces the strength of the UK-Iraq partnership. By working together on security and migration challenges, we are building stronger relationships and tackling shared challenges like serious organised crime and irregular migration.

Today marks 80 years since VJ Day, when World War II finally came to an end. We remember the bravery and selfless sacrifice of those who served in the Far East. Their service will always be honoured and their memory cherished. We will forever be in their debt. 🇬🇧

The Heroes who made us. 75 years of The Royal Edinburgh Tattoo — still a stunning spectacle and a reminder of the selfless service of those who proudly defend our nation. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇨🇭🇺🇸🇵🇱

Yorkshire. Where legends are made and brews are strong! From the Brontës to brass bands, from coalfields to cricket pitches, and from the markets to the moors — God’s own county is the best place on Earth… … not that we ever mention it!! 😉 Happy #YorkshireDay!

Thank you to all those (including my son!) grafting late into the night to get the crops in, both here in Barnsley North and around the country 🙌🏻🚜🌾🍻

Another Russian proxy group brought to justice. Anyone seeking to undermine our national security will be met by the full force of the law. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

On the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 attacks, we remember the 52 lives lost, the countless others injured and all those affected. They are in my thoughts, today and every day. gov.uk/victimsofterrorism

One year as Security Minister. A privilege to work with our intelligence and security services, @terrorismpolice.bsky.social, @nca-uk.bsky.social and Government colleagues to keep the UK safe. They do vital work—mostly in the shadows, always in our service. We owe them a great debt.

Very proud of those with the character and courage to step forward to serve. On Armed Forces Day, we celebrate their professionalism and dedication. Our nation is forever grateful for your service and sacrifice. From the bottom of our hearts – thank you. 🙌🏽 #ArmedForcesDay

Our new National Security Strategy sets out how we will keep the British public safe in a changing world. From stronger borders to safer streets, we’re strengthening our resilience and securing the UK against evolving threats. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/685ab0...

Congratulations to Blaise Metreweli on her historic appointment. At a time of increasing threats from our adversaries, Blaise's experience and expertise will be vital in keeping our country safe. Thank you, Sir Richard Moore, for your years of service and dedication. www.gov.uk/government/n...

6 June. #DDay. A day to remember the service and sacrifice of our Normandy #veterans. They fought and fell, so that we could live in freedom. We will forever be in their debt.

We won’t tolerate criminal gangs smuggling narcotics into the UK. That's why the Government is deepening security partnerships with Colombia and Ecuador to disrupt, deter and defeat the violent networks which threaten the safety of communities at home and abroad. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Today we remember Lee Rigby. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those affected. Support for anyone affected by terrorism is available here: gov.uk/victimsofterrorism

8 years ago today, the Manchester Arena attack took 22 lives and left a scar on our nation. Thanks to tireless campaigners like Figen Murray – who turned unimaginable loss into Martyn’s Law – tougher safety rules at public venues are becoming reality. Terror must never win.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day – the end of World War Two in Europe. We owe so much to the Second World War generation, who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom. We will remember them, we will salute them, and we will forever be in their debt. 🇬🇧

Pleased to welcome Argentina’s Minister of National Security Pato Bullrich to the Home Office today. We signed an MoU to strengthen cooperation to fight serious organised crime and safeguard the security of both our nations.

On #StGeorgesDay, there's so much about England to celebrate — from our rich history and traditions to our beautiful landscapes. I'm proud of our country and ambitious for our future. Happy St George's Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 P.S. Did you know the dragon was slain in Barnsley in 1976?!

We will not allow serious criminals to ruin our communities or use our high streets as a front for organised crime. The work by the NCA has disrupted organised crime groups operating in the UK, and we will not stop until we bring all those responsible to justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Harassment and intimidation of election candidates has no place in our democracy. Ahead of the local elections, we're providing guidance and support for those campaigning to ensure our elections remain safe and secure. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Great visit to City of London Police. We’re working together in the fight against fraud, corruption, and economic crime.

Everyday @terrorismpolice.bsky.social officers work tirelessly to keep the public safe. Hear the stories of 5 extraordinary women at the forefront of this important work ⬇️ shows.acast.com/inside-count...

It's great to see that the work of the Barnsley Pathways to Work Commission has been recognised and that similar schemes will be rolled out nationally, backed by £125 million from the Labour Government. Our town is leading the way! Find out more here 👇 www.barnsleychronicle.com/article/3154...

Figen Murray said "it is time to get this done." I am proud to say this Government has done just that. www.gov.uk/government/n...

On 22 May 2017, 22 people lost their lives in a terrorist attack at Manchester Arena. After losing her son, Figen Murray campaigned fiercely to change the law, ensuring people are safer at public premises and events. Today, Martyn's Law has received Royal Assent.

The Foreign Influence Registration Scheme took another step towards implementation today, with regulations laid in Parliament to bring the Scheme into force in July. The Scheme will improve transparency around foreign influence in our country and highlight covert activity.

The Russian state – including its President – will be specified under the Enhanced Tier of the National Security Act’s Foreign Influence Registration Scheme.

Countering the threats we face requires a whole-of-UK response. Great to be in Wales to meet @prifweinidog.gov.wales. www.gov.uk/government/n...
