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!

Today I’m pleased to appoint @GordonBrown as my Special Envoy on Global Finance and Cooperation. As Britain’s longest-serving Chancellor, Gordon is well placed to work with our international allies to build a stronger Britain and boost our country’s security and resilience.

Together, we will build a stronger and fairer Britain.

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.

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
