There is no negative story to tell about the fantastic trade deal, yet the media have lapped it up.
This is a standard tax agreement we already have with over 50 countries.
It doesn’t apply to Indian nationals applying for UK jobs, doesn’t grant access to UK benefits, and doesn’t change immigration rules.
The Tories offered visas and failed to get a deal. Labour has delivered one without compromising on control

The Labour government has returned 9,400 people with no right to be in the UK – including 2,590 enforced returns, an increase of 19% on the same period in 2023.
This is a Government that takes illegal immigration seriously, if there is no right to be here, they will be deported.

Yvette Cooper is clear; under Labour it will be an offence to fail to report, or to cover up child sexual abuse.
Labour have been calling for this for years, now we are in Government it will happen.

Reform can’t even get a Chair that believes it’s the right Party for the country.
Meanwhile, Labour:
Feeding kids
Rebuilding the NHS
Transforming the Military
Raising wages
Slashing bills
Achieving economic growth
Recruiting more police
Getting people back to work
Deporting record numbers
Rebuilding international relations
Delivering trade deals
Saving industries
Whilst the others fight, we will continue to work hard and deliver.

Many, including media, either;
1) don’t understand what happened in Parliament yesterday.
2) are happy for a bill containing measures to protect children to fall down.
3) or completely understand and are using abused children to score political points.
The only acceptable answer is number one as that can be fixed, the others are morally bankrupt.

Reform are in full meltdown as the Government deports record numbers who shouldn’t be here, and they realise they are going to have nothing to talk about.
Secure borders and an immigration system that functions is a top priority for Labour.

Robert Jenrick was in charge of the Immigration system from October 2022 to December 2023.
During that time, net migration reached the highest level ever recorded.
He can reinvent himself as many times as he likes, but he can’t rewrite history.
Londoners are paying an estimated £216 extra a month in rent because of immigration levels since 2001.
Across England that figure is approximately £132.
Mass migration is making young people poorer.

Digital ID will help us shut down illegal employment, taking away a pull factor.
It will also make everyone’s life easier.
It’s time to modernise.
Community note
Under current UK law, employers are required to confirm that employees have the legal right to work.
The suggested Digital ID system does not improve the detection of illegal workers beyond what current legislation already provides.

The new Tory leader using the House of Commons to attempt to cause diplomatic friction is irresponsible and not what we expect from any LOTO.
She should apologise and make an effort to work collegiately across the house on security, defence and diplomacy.

Our returns agreement with France is being deliberately misrepresented by bad faith actors who don’t want secure borders.
It's a pilot. We're building it where the previous Government failed. These are critical first steps.
We’ve already removed 35,000+ and this France deal will act as a further deterrent as it grows.
We will do what it takes to secure our borders.
In contrast: the Rwanda deal removed 4 volunteers over 2 years.

Sorry, @CPhilpOfficial, can you remind us who was in charge on the previous days in this list, and what you said about it then?
The open border Tories still haven’t apologised for the mess they left us.
Over 1,000 illegal immigrants crossing in a single day today
This is a day of shame for Labour, Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper
2025 so far has already been the worst in history - and now this
Labour has completely lost control of our borders. Their pledge to smash gangs lies in tatters
Labour foolishly scrapped the Rwanda removals deterrent days before it was due to start
It is now clear this was a catastrophic mistake

I talk about British Values, so I think it’s important that I share my favourite: Decency.
That means an outright rejection of racism in any form.
When politicians seek to divide, they do not care about this country, it’s a tactic used to gain power.
Be British, reject racism! Reject fake patriots.

He knows, as a Lawyer, that not commenting on a court case is about ensuring justice. It’s simple. We mustn’t let killers walk free! That’s our values.
