I welcome the Court of Appeal's decision to overturn the convictions of 39 former sub-postmasters in the Horizon dispute, an appalling injustice which has had a devastating impact on these families for years.
Lessons should and will be learnt to ensure this never happens again.

Earlier I paid tribute to HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in the @HouseofCommons.
The Duke's unstinting service gives us all a model of selflessness and of putting others before ourselves.

In 1940 RAF Northolt in my constituency played a vital role in European security, with planes here fighting in the Battle of Britain.
With European security threatened once again, I hosted @JustinTrudeau and @MinPres here to ensure that Putin’s barbaric invasion ends in failure.

A year ago the military junta seized power in Myanmar, trampling upon democracy.
The UK stands with the people of Myanmar in the face of brutal military violence, a humanitarian crisis, and the detention of political opponents.
Freedom and democracy must be restored.

Yesterday I met with @will_perryy, who represented @ParalympicsGB in the 2020 Paralympics and is now campaigning for a kinder and more understanding society for people with dwarfism. It was heart-rending to hear about the bullying and abuse that he has experienced.
