No one wrote a story when I turned up to work dressed like I was auditioning to be the next Dr Who.
Judge Lou based on her decisions, not because she’s wearing trainers on the commute to work. 🙄
🚨 NEW: The Greater Manchester Mayoral election has gone to the second round after none of the candidates reached over 50% of the votes
Labour's Bev Craig and Reform UK's Sian Astley are the two candidates left
To all those who I know are extremely worried; Scooby Doo is still the Minister for Treats!
It’s a permanent position that he will not budge from - he is very undemocratic and has an army of Ridgebacks behind him 🐕🐕🐕
I am no longer the Minister for Migration and Citizenship where I was predominantly overseeing our legal migration system.
For me, service has always meant putting the country first, and I’m proud to have approached the role with that principle at its heart.
Every decision I made in the Home Office began with my top priority: our national security.
Our immigration system is also about people. That is why compassion must sit alongside firmness, striking the right balance to protect our country, support our economy, and uphold confidence in the system.
From delivering the massive Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme, to visa pauses and improving the Windrush Compensation Scheme, it has been truly satisfying to play a part in strengthening our immigration system. While net migration is falling, there is still much more to do.
I will always put my country first and that is why I will continue to bring my experience from my time working at the highest levels of national security to Parliament.
I am dissapointed to be leaving government, but I have no regrets remaining loyal to Keir Starmer until the end.
This Labour Government must succeed - for the good of our country. I will be working every single day to help deliver for the British people.
Thank you to my Private Office and Home Office officials who have worked hard with me to make progress .
I wish my successor the very best of luck.

Can't help but feel like this Conservative MP in the constituency over from mine is being a bit overdramatic RE new council boundaries...
Unsure how simpler, more efficient councils are 'an abomination'.
Kent doesn't cease to exist just because Kent County Council does.
On Monday morning, I will nominate Mr. Andy Burnham to be our next Prime Minister.
I've consistently argued that stability is key to delivery for our great country. And stability comes from unity.
I look forward to fighting every day under Burnham's leadership. For unity and hope to defeat the politics of division and fear
🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has now stepped in and is "urgently looking" at ways to allow all pubs to stay open for England's 1am match against Mexico on Monday
Keir, thank you for all our cooperation, your support, and the joint decisions that have helped make our Europe and our protection of life stronger.
The United Kingdom has been, is, and will remain among the world’s leaders. Here in Ukraine, we deeply value Britain, and every meeting and every conversation we have had has always been filled with real substance.
Thank you for always being in touch, always engaged, and always striving to do what is needed and what will truly help.
I wish the United Kingdom and all British people every success as well as realisation of your national goals. We have confidence in Britain.
Keir, you are always a welcome guest in Ukraine.

I am not Kemi Badenoch's biggest fan, but I think we have a duty to call out shameless misinformation on a cross party basis.
I watched this clip in its entirety and it is not a fair representation of what she said.
Farage is flagrantly disregarding the Nowak family's wishes.
Happy Kent Day everyone!
Using the trains over bank holiday weekend was a nightmare in the heat, but the silver lining is seeing so many people visiting the Garden of England from London and further.
This week's perfect for a trip to the coast if you haven't already 👀
Vote Green, get Conservative...
Big shock to those presumably voting (at least in part) for a fairer housing market and ending up with a coalition of NIMBYs blocking development in a city with an average rent price of £2280 a month. Do better.
