I visited @NCA_UK with @DavidLammy and @DanJarvisMBE today as the government's new Anti-Corruption Champion.

I look forward to working to tackle corruption and ensure the UK's security and economic prosperity.

The Kings decision to release his tax return is an important first step in the greater transparency and accountability needed for a modern monarchy. I welcome this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Targeting a synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year for Jewish communities is truly horrific.

My thoughts are with the victims, families, and the wider community - their lives will never be the same. I’m grateful to the emergency services for their swift response.

Great win for taxpayer with Baroness Mone fined £122m for failure to provide PPE during COVID. She got the contract through being a friend of ministers. Contracts to pals cost taxpayers billions in fraud and poor value. Shocking practice by the Tories. That’s why they’re dying.

It has been an informative week in the BVI. Both sides now understand each other’s priorities better. There’s work ahead, but I leave encouraged by the willingness to progress beneficial ownership reform. I will discuss next steps with @SDoughtyMP.
