I am really pleased to be the new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. It’s certainly daunting. It comes with heavy responsibility, and I am looking forward to getting properly stuck in.
I want to be very clear from the outset: my door will be open to all parties and all communities. We are going to work together constructively to keep building a stable, prosperous future for everyone in Northern Ireland.
Our focus is simple: maintaining political stability, promoting economic growth, and making sure devolved government delivers for people in their everyday lives.
