My thanks to @GMPolice and brave staff for their swift response to an incident at Manchester Magistrates’ Court today. Due to their quick thinking and action, a much worse situation was averted and the court remains open

My thoughts are with every single one of Russell Brand's victims. While no verdict can undo the suffering you have endured, I hope today brings you some measure of peace. We will continue working to make the justice system better for victims of these vile crimes.

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. theguardian.com/society/2026…

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.
