@bphillipsonMP What happens when everyone decides to just go on benefits and have kids? Who pays then.

Today, as we deliver change, we remember politics is about choices.
We choose a better life for our children, the Tories and Reform choose to condemn them to poverty.

@RachelReevesMP Giving a irresponsible parent more money won't bring children out of poverty.

If #itfc had nothing to do with this promotion race, I’d be loving this #Millwall charge. They’re a proper side managed perfectly on a smaller budget than most of the division. Stinks of us in 23/24. Plus Millwall in prem would be cinema

@ukhomeoffice Here's an idea call me crazy but hear me out. Stop them before they enter on those little boats then we dont need to waste tax payers money hunting them down and flying them all around the world back home?

My local high street has 6 Turkish Barbers.. 6 !!! and outside each one there’s always at least 3 men loitering throughout the day smoking! We all know you can get more than a haircut and shave in these establishments. Strange how trading standards never seem to intervene and even though we all know they are dealing drugs and weapons, the police do nothing! Organised crime in broad daylight!

Reform UK Scotland has unveiled new election van adverts featuring an image of a small boat with asylum seekers on board.
Worth noting Scotland has had no known small boat landings.

Children smashing up shops in broad daylight, stealing and even filming themselves doing it as if it were a game, is a much bigger problem than is being recognised. This is a total collapse of consequences.
To those making snide comments about race or black kids - you do not see scenes like this in Lagos or Nairobi. Not because the children there are different, but because actions have consequences. There are clear boundaries. Parents, communities, and the authorities do not wring their hands or look the other way.
Here, we have created a culture where too many young people believe they can do what they like and nothing will happen. That is the problem.
And we should be honest about where that leads. If a child loots a shop today, films it for social media, and faces no real consequence, they are going to do much worse tomorrow.
This is why under my leadership Conservatives are focusing on ENFORCEMENT, not just making more and more rules.
Our Take Back Our Streets Campaign is about getting 10,000 more police officers, immediate justice and immediate punishment. But let’s be honest, this is not just a policing issue. It is a failure of authority at every level.
Parents need to know where their children are and what they are doing. Discipline should start at home, not in a courtroom.
We have also weakened the system around them. Deterrence is the backbone of criminal justice. Labour have changed the law so anyone receiving a sentence under 12 months will automatically walk free, instead receiving a suspended sentence. When people believe offences like this will not lead to meaningful punishment, we should not be surprised when more of it happens. You get more of what you tolerate.
It’s not like we haven’t been here before. In 2011, when riots spread, the Conservative response was swift and visible. People saw consequences. And behaviour rapidly changed. That is what is missing now.
This all comes down to fairness. Law-abiding people should not feel like fools while gangs smash and grab without consequence. The sad truth is the communities most damaged by this behaviour are often the very ones these young people come from.
Only one approach will fix this: clear rules, real consequences, and the confidence to enforce them.
It’s time to Take Back Our Streets and bring back a culture of enforcement.

Personally, I would have required they all were arrested and their parents/carers come to collect them from police custody. Contrary to comments and narratives being pushed by some, this is not a policing problem, but rather an insight into what the future may hold. Young children during school half-term, decide to storm a store and cause absolute carnage, steal from the business in numbers and cause significant alarm to other members of the public while filming their criminal activity for content. Where does this sort of behaviour graduate to? What is the logical next step from this? How many of the parents of these children will know what they have been doing?
