Remembrance Sunday is a time to pause, reflect and honour the millions from Britain and the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed to keep us safe.

We remember those who died for our country, and recognise the Prison and Probation Service staff who marched in today's parade.

Delighted that @DapoAkandeLaw has been elected to the ICJ. He will bring a unique breadth of perspective that the ICJ needs.

Every young person deserves the chance to benefit from the money saved for their future.

We’re changing the law to make it easier for young people who lack mental capacity to access their Child Trust Funds - a change families have campaigned for over many years.

Introduced by the last Labour Government, Child Trust Funds were set up for millions of children. We’re making sure more young people can access what is rightfully theirs.

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.

The independence of the judiciary is vital to the rule of law. Judges, by the nature of their role, cannot respond to personal criticism as politicians often can.
 
That makes it especially important that public debate, however robust, is conducted in a way that remains fair and respectful.
