Good to meet my friend @antonioguterres at Kew Gardens for London Climate Action Week. What gives me confidence is seeing so many people focused on practical solutions. The UK's role is clear: back clean energy, protect nature and grow our economy as we make the transition.

We're investing a further £35 million to stop drones being used to smuggle drugs, phones and weapons into our prisons. This is part of our plan to cut the flow of illicit items that fuel violence and disorder behind bars, with stronger barriers, closer work with police and new

At #LondonTechWeek, I announced we’ll develop and test AI legal assistants for the Crown Court, faster case listing tools for judges, and AI transcription for every probation officer in England and Wales - less admin, more time keeping the public safe.
