Deeply saddened to hear of the death of brilliant @thetimes reporter Andrew Norfolk. His reports of the grooming gang trial I prosecuted were utterly searing and always accurate. An exceptional journalist.

Condolences @alexburghart. I was at school with 'Bob' Boas. He lit the place up with his remarkable intelligence and charisma. What a loss.

My very great friend Simon “Bob” Boas died last night - he was a hero

It's been a privilege to serve as Lord Chancellor. My deepest thanks to the brilliant lawyers, @moj public servants and @hmpps professionals who have supported me in this ancient and essential role. I have sought to do my duty, and send my successor every good wish #ruleoflaw

Congratulations to Max Wilkinson on his victory. This is a great personal achievement, and he will now serve an exceptional community – made up of talented, humane, thoughtful and decent people. His success will be #Cheltenham’s success, and I wish him well.
