We will do our best to support the Middlesbrough community, which is hurting and grieving right now, and we hear the call from the members of this house representing it for a discussion about investment in policing and police numbers.

In light of the situation the force has faced, we will allocate an additional £2m to Cleveland Police to tackle serious crime in the area.

Small boats numbers are now falling but we are not complacent and there is more we must do.

A little over two years into office and the asylum backlog is down, the number of asylum seekers in hotels is falling, illegal working arrests are at record levels, and deportations and returns are up markedly.

Labour was taking a 'vital step' in efforts to control the UK’s borders

The UK-France deal is already having a real impact.

This surge in enforcement activity takes us to the highest level in British history. Illegal workers and rogue employers have nowhere to hide.

That’s why we’re doubling the number of NCA officers, because we know that this is the work we need to do in order to secure our border.

I’m doing whatever it takes to secure our border.

The Court of Appeal's judgment upholds the proscription of Palestine Action and we will robustly defend this appeal at the UK Supreme Court.

I think everyone can see there was no ill intent behind this ribbing of the new lord chancellor – a role I once filled and which comes with immense challenges thanks to the vandalism inflicted on our justice system by the last Conservative…

the next Labour government will put that rate back to 50p while we get the deficit down

MI5 plays a critical role in keeping our country, and the public, safe. I am deeply grateful for the commitment and dedication of its staff. However, given the significance of its responsibilities, it is imperative that the Service…

it cannot be right to cut the top rate of tax

The public rightly expect us to control who and what enter this country. It is one of the most fundamental duties of the state and remains a top priority for me and the government I serve in.

The government has already done some work in this area, but I'm sure we will have to go further.

The court has found that Palestine Action has carried out acts of terrorism, celebrated those who have taken part in those acts and promoted the use of violence.

This approach means those in need of protection arrive with the consent of communities and with the financial support of their sponsor, and not the taxpayer.

The police have cautioned against speculating about the case. That is the right thing to do for Ann’s family and friends.

It is also vital that the police are given the space they need to carry out their work.

I know this is deeply concerning news for British Muslims. We must stand against hatred and we must unite around our shared belief in a country that is open, generous and tolerant to all our communities.

My goal as Home Secretary is to rebuild the public's confidence and thereby ensure we can continue providing protection to those in need today and for generations to come.

The government intends to bring forward an amendment to this bill in response to the widely reported case of the vile grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed.

To do so, I believe we must restore fairness to our asylum system, fairness both to those who are fleeing war and persecution, and also fairness towards those communities already here who bear the burden of supporting them.
