🚨NEW: Data just released shows that the number of pupils missing more than half of classes hit an annual record high last year. An unprecedented 176,000 kids were severely absent in 2024/25 - 193% higher than pre-pandemic levels. If we are to save these children from the lifelong consequences of missing school, we must urgently tackle the root causes of the absence crisis. More👇

Labour MPs are on a 'holiday from reality' and the governing class is 'more comfortable speaking in the padded idiom of values than facing facts', Paul Ovenden writes in The Times today 'Labour politicians are currently fighting a rearguard action to ensure the 1.6 million migrants of the so-called “Boriswave” are eligible for lifetime benefits, paid out of the pockets of other already hard-up, fed-up constituents. 'Meanwhile, some argue for full-scale government intervention to shield us all from energy price rises on the basis that “we can’t be seen to do less than the Tories did”. 'At a time when our national debt is 93 per cent of GDP, borrowing costs are soaring and we have barely scratched the surface of the £320 billion of debt we accrued at the start of this decade, a disinterested observer could only conclude that either MPs know something wonderful about the public finances that no one else does or there is an acute madness inflicting the body politic.' thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@connor_naismith launching new @csjthinktank inquiry into repairing Britain's broken high streets. "Swathes of boarded up high streets have provided the perfect opportunity for organised crime to infiltrate our neighbourhoods." More 👇 centreforsocialjustice.org.uk/newsroom/seven…
Connor Naismith MP@connor_naismith

The UK needs a radical High Streets Strategy to save our town centres. We must give communities the power to support local businesses and remove dodgy shops. labourlist.org/2026/03/labour…

New analysis by @csjthinktank putting into context just how unsustainable our welfare policies - yes, that includes pensions - have become. For £18 billion you could materially slash the deficit, give every worker a £2,200 tax cut, or boost defence spending to 3% of GDP. A serious government must grip this - especially ending the injustice of millions of people being written off work and parked on the margins.

Sir Keir Starmer could pay for 15 new warships or quadruple the size of the British Army by halting this year’s £18bn rise in welfare spending, analysis has shown. Read more here: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/0…

I think the most astonishing thing said in these exchanges is 'deterrence never works'. How do you have a controlled immigration system if you don't deter unlawful entry and overstays?
Aubrey Allegretti@breeallegretti

Labour MPs row on WhatsApp over Shabana Mahmood's migration reforms, announced today. "Inevitable Windrush style scandal coming" "This is anything but compassionate... Not labour values at all" "This isn't fair, credible or sustainable"

This whole thread is great but this especially is crucial. Its why the whole "you can't out-Reform Reform" reasoning is so mistaken. Fixing immigration is about regaining the trust of the vast majority of Brits who see a broken system, not just winning Reform voters back.
Luke Tryl@LukeTryl

Put I think too much of this debate has assumed this all about appealing to reform voters (and while I have no inside knowledge of the motives) it's clear a desire for a more robust, controlled system goes far wider than that, inc most people who supported Labour at the last election

So much to enjoy in this, from haunted civil servants to Netanyahu brooding on King Herod, to understanding the absolute nightmare of British foreign policy under the shadow of Trump II

INSIDE THE FOREIGN OFFICE My essay on what it was like for a year to watch the rules based order collapse in the headquarters of British diplomacy @NewStatesman. ****** George Gilbert Scott’s Foreign Office – King Charles Street as its Whitehall familiars call it – is the most spectral building I’ve ever worked in. The corridor along which great officials toiled, was haunted, at least in my mind, by the telegrams sent during the chain reactions of summer 1914. The grand office was haunted by the window where Edward Grey twitched the curtain to look at the street lights, observing that August that “the lamps are going out all over Europe”. And haunt-ed too, in 2024, by the UK’s failures in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, where so many of those around me had begun their careers and wasted years. Supporting the foreign secretary meant shifting through daily contradictory advice. The Middle East team pushing human rights and the UN General Assembly first. The eastern Europe team arguing Zelensky is the priority. The embassy in Washington insisting: special relationship über alles. This wasn’t anyone’s fault. Each team was a different part of Britain’s old grand strategy – international law, fighting the Kremlin and being America’s best friend – that now pulled in different directions inside Trump’s disordered new world.
