My amendment to the Border, Asylum and Immigration Bill on family reunion for child refugees will be debated by peers either tomorrow or next Tuesday...🧵 1/5

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.

It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.

This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

Some important reminders about migration in the UK...

Migration is generally good for the UK.

Migration is necessary to get staff for essentail jobs & attact the brightest.

Migrants contribute more on average than they pay.

Many migrants have to pay extra for some public services - eg NHS.

Which current MP is this?

They were involved in helping to get people from within the media prosecuted for the phone hacking scandal.

They also gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry in to press ethic that was critical of the media & suggested issues were more widespread than people believed.

Ah the 1970s.

Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Public service announcement.

Starmer isn’t “about to call a general election”, no matter how excited Chris Mason is, or how gleefully the Corbyn nut jobs repeat the bullshit from “unnamed sources”

Calm down.

Ends.

What are prison releases in error so common?

In his statement today, Lammy explains some of difficulties he is trying to fix in the system.

Very complex sentencing rules.
Sentences worked out on paper.
Poor and ineffective systems (including emails).
Too few staff, who are stretched.

The Labour Government cannot fix this in 15 months, they inherited a huge mess. @lbc.co.uk

Did you know that our Labour government are delivering the biggest boost to social housing in a generation?

£39bn investment committed so far.

Isn't that what you all wanted to see?

It's the difference a Labour government makes!

Labour really aren't vocal enough about the things they are getting right and why they matter. Here are some of them from this week.

Mayor Khan commits to clean our rivers as London joins Swimmable Cities alliance - Outdoor Swimmer Magazine London joins cities including Paris, Rotterdam and Budapest in the global drive to restore urban waterways and make them safe, clean, and accessible for swimming

London has joined the Swimmable Rivers Alliance.

Our rivers have been neglected and damaged for far too long, with shameful levels of pollution harming our waterways. I’m determined to clean them up.

Tories handed out excessive contracts to hotels to house asylum seekers.

Robert Jenrick even bragged about how many they were opening up!

But Labour is closing them down and getting our money back!

Mayors to lead the charge for thousands of new social homes Mayors outside of London to be given greater influence over the government's historic £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme.

The Labour government's Social and Affordable Homes Programme is backed by £39bn funding.

And today we hear that established mayors across 6 areas will be getting up to £7bn to accelerate the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation!

Badenoch: “escaped prisoners under Labour are making a mockery of our country; they are laughing at the justice system.”

What were the hundreds of prisoners doing that escaped each year under the Tories? Helping them improve prison service efficacy? Over 14 years?

Among Tory mistaken releases were … a blackmailer, released 48 days into a 4-year sentence in 2021 (while Philp was courts minister) … a rapist was let out in 2022 (while Patel was Home Sec)… and a man serving a sentence for assault was let out in March 2023 (while Philp was policing minister.)

Ed's got another video out!

He explains:

+ why going to COP is important for working together with other countries.

+ what global progress has been made over the last 15yrs.

+ and importantly, he gives young people hope. Hope that better world & a better future can be achieved!

Well done Ed!

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.

Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government

New curriculum to give young people the skills for life and work Government to set out plans to bring the curriculum into the modern day and help young people step into the future.

Curriculum and Assessment Review

The review, by Professor Becky Francis has been published today.

Some highlights for me:

* primary school to teach how to spot fake news and identify misinformation & disinformation

* secondary schools to work towards offering triple science as standard

Another video showing the human side of our PM.

He really is a decent, normal human being, who knows how to actually talk to people.

Here he is talking about the expansion of the Warm Homes Discount to 6m people in total.

We need to see more of this authentic side of the PM!

So this is Labour's response to Farage's speech this morning - but put out this afternoon across all the channels they are active on.

Very good Labour, very good!

We’re beating global competition for contracts to build more ships and planes here in the UK.

From Norway to Türkiye, what do these deals mean for British jobs?

Let me explain

👇🏻

This is great stuff from Labour!

Transformative policies put into action for military homes following years of neglect.

Never again say the Tories stand up for our forces. They failed to act for 14 years.

Only Labour will deliver these plans in full & give our forces the homes they deserve.

World leaders, remember that future generations will judge you. At Cop30, you can define how | Gordon Brown Keir Starmer is taking the lead on tackling the climate crisis. With the US backing away, now is the moment when other nations must step up, says former UK prime minister Gordon Brown

Great piece by Gordon Brown on the upcoming COP30 climate meeting.

Showing again he knows exactly what needs to be done with a 5 point plan for a more ambitious declaration under consideration in Belém.

He also points out that Starmer & Miliband ARE leading in this area and others must follow.

1. New Defence Housing Strategy, with £9bn to improve 40,000 military homes 2. More than 1/3 of manufacturing firms will accelerate investment projects as a result of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy. 3. ONS figures from Labour force survey show 475,000 more people in jobs compared to a year ago 4. Almost 60,000 knives removed from streets since July 2024 5. Veterans and families get safe homes as £4.5m awarded to housing providers 6. New Town of Culture competition to shine a spotlight on the contribution of towns that tell national story 7. British Businesses to Save over £400m a Year on Electricity Costs 8. £17.3 million from UK Government funding to boost Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone 9. Labour saved over £1bn by processing asylum seekers more rapidly 10. Labour has told hotel owners they must repay £46million in excess profits. 11. A £4bn data centre investment in the UK by Equinix

The men who raised the flags Nigel Farage says this summer’s movement was led by ‘ordinary people’ expressing their patriotism. That’s not what we found

"it is striking how many of the key players we have looked into — the people who have gone out of their way to put up hundreds of flags — seem anything but ordinary."
