A new national approach to court listings will prioritise rape and serious sexual offence cases in Crown Courts across England and Wales. Alongside new guidance on appropriate remote participation, these reforms will help victims get their cases heard sooner.

Important discussions with Governor Kehoe of Missouri, about our shared agenda to tackle youth offending. From across the political spectrum, there is growing recognition about tough, early intervention to reduce crime and turn around lives. Thank you for your time Governor.

As the last women to be hanged in the UK, Ruth Ellis' family have lived with the profound impact of the sentence imposed on her for 70 years. By granting her a conditional pardon, today we recognise what they have always known – that she was a victim too.

The Deputy Prime Minister and I met Ruth Ellis’s grandchildren. With great dignity and love, her family have sought to ensure Ruth’s story is better understood, beyond the way history remembered her. Victims’ families must be heard. Today, Ruth’s family were.
