I enjoy cooking, art, music and I am a keen supporter of the National Trust. I've been in working for various charity groups since the 1970s.

We are profoundly sorry for the pain, trauma and stigma experienced - and still carried - by many people because of historical adoption practices in homes affiliated to the Church of England.

A historic milestone for India-UK relations.

Delighted to note that the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement will enter into force on 15th July 2026.

This agreement will significantly boost our bilateral trade and investment.

It will also unlock numerous opportunities for Indian farmers, workers, MSMEs, startups and innovators and contribute meaningfully to the realisation of Viksit Bharat 2047.

Both PM Starmer and I, who are in Evian for the G7 Summit, are naturally very happy with the significant momentum being added to our economic ties.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict — a moment to reflect on the devastating impact of conflict around the world, with women and girls often most at risk of harm.

The Duchess of Edinburgh has long been a passionate advocate for the vital role that women play in peacebuilding and drawing attention to the issue of conflict-related sexual violence that continues to be perpetrated around the world.

Her Royal Highness has met survivors, peacebuilders, medical professionals and changemakers across the globe — from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Kosovo, South Sudan, Lebanon, Chad and beyond.

Through listening, learning and lending her voice, The Duchess continues to shine a light on the courage of survivors and the urgent need for global action.

More than 40 years ago, I arrived in Chicago in search of an idea. I was a young man looking for purpose, who believed deeply in America, was inspired by the Civil Rights Movement, and wanted to be a part of something larger. The America I believed in was one where everyone has opportunity, everyone is seen, everyone belongs—because that was an America that had a place for me, too.

We continue to mourn the deaths of those whose lives were lost last year on Air India Flight 171.

They remain in our prayers, and our thoughts are with their families and loved ones, including those affected in the diaspora community in Britain.

This tragedy shocked the world, and the families must have answers to their questions about what happened last year and support must continue to be provided to them.

Three officers have been named in the King's Birthday #Honours list.

These honours reflect the NCA's unique role in protecting the public from serious and organised crime as well as the dedication of the entire agency to tackling criminals who pose the greatest risk.

Nine suspected illegal workers have been arrested by Immigration Enforcement at multiple DPD depots.

Across bases in Basingstoke and Newbury, officers conducted right to work checks on over 100 individuals. Seven Indian nationals, one Ghanaian national and one Pakistani national were identified as immigration offenders.

Work will now begin to establish who the liable party is for employing the individuals. 

An employer in breach of the law can receive a fine of up to £60,000 per worker.

Since July 2024, the Government has increased illegal working enforcement activity to the highest level in British history, with an 83% rise in arrests and 77% increase in raids across the UK.

Today, the European Union took a major step forward.

All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.

At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process.

It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions.

This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges.

And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable.

Enlargement is a strategic choice.

By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent.

In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest.

Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.
