Where is our Labour PM? Why can’t he address this issue before something really terrible happens. This is a crisis that is crying out for strong leadership.

Lots of useful analysis here. Standout stat - 2 million economically inactive people want a job. They don’t need harsher benefit conditionality or lower incomes. They need better support & more accessible jobs. That’s what health & disability reforms should focus on.

It's the ultimate in Treasury brain... Cut central government funding, pass down to local government to find Move costs off central government balance sheet But the Government is going to spend the next few years doing both a) bailing out councils; and b) bailing out consequences of service cuts

This is appalling. A major decision with profound implications for refugees can't even be debated in parliament. Because it's not primary or even secondary legislation it doesn't pass the attorney general's desk. Zero scrutiny. Zero accountability.

This is quite funny given GB News has an Australian Chief Executive and is owned by three people who work for a shadowy Dubai 'Institute' and its currency is misinformation and hate speech rather than news.

Today in Parliament, I again called for widespread sanctions on Israel. That's the only way to get Israel to abide by international law and the rulings of the world's top court. And it's the only way to make clear that we won't stand by while there is genocide in Gaza.

If we want dentists who train here to stay and work locally in the NHS, the government must treat dentists better. I urged the health minister to prioritise improving dentists' contracts and to say when we can expect to see change.

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences.

You know what’s funny is that after today’s display, after their stupid Borders Bill & all their posturing, Labour are going to do horribly in the local elections. And then they’re going to take from that they need to do even more of the same.

Is there anything Donald Trump can do that Keir Starmer and David Lammy would criticise? We're not talking here of a slip up or a huge error - we're talking about the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Appalling that it's been nearly 24 hours of silence.
