Asylum seekers waiting over a year for claim in UK may be allowed to work under new measures Shabana Mahmood hopes to reduce number of claimants in hotels by enabling them to support themselves

Of course! This has always been an obvious move. Let’s face it, the overriding reason that people migrate to the UK is to make a life for themselves. Let’s see what happens

Does Nigel Farage have a problem with women? Critics say Reform leader’s patronising rhetoric is part of worrying trend. He says scrutiny is a two way street.

Labour’s new welfare changes are practical and compassionate – so why not loudly say so? | Polly Toynbee Universal credit to rise faster than inflation, benefit hurdles eased, extra help for children and young people … I bet you had no idea, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Exactly this ⬇️ Why doesn’t the government shout about its successes? Instead, it sits by while the MSM and right wing politicians lie through their teeth and drag whole swathes of unthinking voters with them

The 'Burnham' News And the bit nobody else is discussing

“The analytical frame Burnham has developed - “Manchesterism” - deserves attention. His argument is that First Past the Post, combined with the Treasury’s crushing grip on economic policy, creates a centralised system that serves neither MPs nor places”

Good to finally see much needed investment in an archaic system

Well done #Labour but should really be cross party support with long term vision

Absolutely disgraceful that #Reform have said they’d scrap it.Luckily we won’t have to worry about them ever being in a position to affect this decision

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
