Rumours suggest Angela Rayner could take over from Rachel Reeves as Chancellor. She left Avondale High School in Stockport at 16, pregnant and with no qualifications. She later studied part-time at Stockport College, where she learned British Sign Language and gained an NVQ Level 2 in social care. She never went to university. She has no financial services experience.
Understand that a significant number of Labour MPs have made it known that were Burnham and his allies able to engineer a by-election they would refuse requests to campaign for him.
🛑 TIME for hard ball on the migrant crisis. Radical @reformparty_uk plan to locate detention centres in Green Party constituencies is upsetting all the right people. They will get what they voted for!
Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com
May the 7th is coming. You know what to do 🗳️➡️
🚨NEW: The migrants who died crossing the channel this morning were a woman and a 16-year-old girl, both of which did not die from drowning, but were "found dead inside the boat" An investigation has been launched [@SkyNews]
The Times: “The slowdown (in illegal immigration) began in October and now appears established. As of yesterday 6,416 small-boat migrants had reached Britain compared with 9,885 by April 30 last year, a drop of more than a third. The number of crossings is the lowest at this point at this stage of the year since 2023, when it was 5,745. This is despite significant numbers of “red days” when weather and sea conditions were good enough to attempt a crossing.” Could Farage and his colleagues not be commenting on that because it doesn’t suit their political agenda?
Landlords are bailing out. New research shows that some 254,000 buy-to-let properties in Britain came on to the market in the year to the end of March. That's 700 a day & it's an increase of 28% over 2024. Taxing & regulating landlords out of the market will result in tenants paying higher rents. It's such an obvious point but many politicians refuse to understand it.
I am deeply concerned about the terrorist attack that took place today. This is not an isolated incident. It is the latest in a spate of utterly vile attacks on the Jewish community. I’ve just chaired an emergency COBR meeting and tomorrow I’ll be bringing together criminal justice agencies to ensure we have effective and swift justice.
