Lower the MIR to £23.000 (Lower MIR to NMW)

The Minimum Income Requirements for all British Citizens 🇬🇧✌🏻 and Foreign Spouses must be reduced to National Minimum Wage of £23.000 giving all citizens equal opportunities to be a couple and or raise a family! The MAC recommendation was out in June the government you do it!

Still I don’t see it as fair that as a British Citizen married to a Thai 🇹🇭 National that for her to have a spouse visa to live here with myself and our two children 🇬🇧🇹🇭 that I should have to earn £29.000 instead of the national minimum wage of £23-24.000 just because I fell in love with a Thai person and started a family! This isn’t right and never will be! @KemiBadenoch should come and meet us and hear why I believe the MIR should now be lowered as recently recommended by the MAC Migration Advisory Committee in June 2025. @LowerMIRNow @ReuniteDivFamil @JCWI_UK

@JamesCleverly @KemiBadenoch God your well and truly right there @KemiBadenoch Who else remembers @BorisJohnson as PrimeMinister! Dreadful Prime Minister!

Have a look at how @KemiBadenoch sees things.

God your well and truly right there @KemiBadenoch Who else remembers @BorisJohnson as PrimeMinister! Dreadful Prime Minister!

Nigel Farage secretly accepting a FIVE MILLION POUNDS gift from a Thai-based crypto tycoon is one of the biggest political financial scandals of this or any era. Farage, for himself not the many. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Taxpayers expect to see a return when their money is spent. For the first time, the funding uplift in our agreement with France will be conditional on results and reducing migrants coming to the UK. If the new tactics are not successful, funding will stop after one year.

A new deal that will bear down on small boat crossings. One that will put smugglers behind bars and restore order and control to our borders.

“You’re more likely to lose your job to someone who is using AI, than to AI itself...” Rishi Sunak speaks to @faisalislam about how AI could impact jobs, with the former PM saying the “best protection” is to have a “competence and confidence using these new tools.” #Newsnight

St George’s flag stands for unity over hatred and decency over division. Those are the values I will always fight for. Some try to hijack our flag to spread hate, I reject their plastic patriotism. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

33 years on, I still remember hearing about Stephen Lawrence - a young man who looked like me, with dreams and a life ahead, killed in a racist attack. His family’s fight for justice still inspires. We honour his legacy by continuing the work to build a society free from racism

This is not our war, but it is now pushing up bills for families and businesses. That’s why keeping costs down is my number one priority – and our economic plan has put us in a stronger position to face this crisis.

LAST QUESTION. PM up next. Can he win round the Commons? Watch now on @GBNEWS.

I am in the Press Gallery in the Commons' Press Gallery. There is a half-hearted cheer for Sir Keir Starmer as he arrives in the House of Commons for his statement on Peter Mandelson's vetting. Much louder cheer for Kemi Badenoch who arrives after the PM. Watch now on @GBNEWS.

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer leaves No 10 ahead of his statement to Parliament about Peter Mandelson's vetting

I want to say a massive thank you to everybody who has organised and attended our local Restore Britain events so far - particularly those who have volunteered their time to get it all set up. It is sincerely appreciated. I understand that some are frustrated their area is not up and running yet, but I assure you - we are working on it. We are not rushing - we are getting the proper infrastructure set up all over Britain so that we are in a position to fight every single council seat next year. Hundreds of constituencies are covered with local organisers, more come online every day. Multiple meetings happening each evening. Those who haven't heard, will soon. If you have offered to volunteer, the local organiser will contact you separately to get things moving as soon as possible. We are getting there. It's a logistical mountain, but we are getting there - faster than any other party has managed in British political history. That's down to our central team who are doing incredible work. But most importantly, again, I want to thank the organisers and attendees. The party's historic growth would not be possible without you. So thank you.
