Congratulations to the newly qualified @GovernmentLegal solicitors and barristers! Solicitor General Andy Slaughter KC MP joined the qualification event, saying "Good legal advice isn't about finding reasons why government can't act. It is about finding the best way it can."

There was a full house of both the Irish and Chiswick communities for the 2026 WB Yeats Lecture by Irish author and journalist Fintan O'Toole, who shared dazzling insights about the great poet whilst bridging his relevance to the Irish perception of today. It was great to have a strong turnout of VIPs including Andy Slaughter MP and acclaimed Irish actor Ciarán Hinds, who narrates the self-guided walk around key Bedford Park places relating to the Yeats family, which starts at the 'Enwrought Light' sculpture outside @StMichaelsW4, where the lecture took place. For those who missed out on a ticket, you can by Fintan O'Toole's new book 'We Don't Know Ourselves' from Everybody Reads. Thank you @YeatsBedfordPk's @CLDallat and @AnneMarie_Fyfe for a marvellous evening! @hammersmithandy #WBYeats #IrishPoet #BedfordPark #Chiswick #FintanOToole

Proud to announce the national rollout of the @CPSUK enhanced service for victims of domestic abuse. This will mean victims of domestic abuse having a dedicated victim liaison officer, providing better victim support from charge to trial.

It was great to be in Belfast today for the opening of the legal year and to be sworn in to the Bar of Northern Ireland. I’m grateful to the Crown Solicitor, Attorney General and Lady Chief Justices of Northern Ireland for meeting with me today to discuss tackling shared issues.

Today I will publish updated legal guidance for government lawyers. As AG, I will work with Ministers to help deliver on this Government's ambitious agenda, one where legal advice helps Ministers find creative solutions to get things done. thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

‘Take more legal risks’ to speed up government, ministers told

Ellie Reeves, the attorney-general, has replaced the guidance issued by Lord Hermer to allow ministers to proceed even if there is a high risk of legal action

No child should grow up in a hostel. No family should wait ten years for a home. That is why Labour is investing nearly £10 billion to build genuinely affordable homes where they’re needed most.
