Let’s be honest. They all knew Mandleson was a sleaze bag. That’s why they thought he was perfect to be a Trump whisperer

This pantomime of pretending they didn’t know is an insult to our collective intelligence. They should all go

MP attacks Greens’ election tactics Thornberry claims rival party is ‘dangerous, wrong and divisive’ at Labour manifesto launch

"Despite spending the majority of her speech attacking Zack Polanski’s party – who in Islington pose the main threat to Labour – Emily Thornberry said she was confident that Labour would win locally."

Daily Mail really living up to reputation there. Could closing an airport possibly be linked to the environment?

Amid the distress caused by the settlement changes, the Government has quietly announced yet another visa fee hike.

Leave to remain is rising to £1,407.

An initial visa now costs over £2,000 — plus £1,000+ yearly paid upfront for the health surcharge.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
