ICE-style raids on Britain's streets: that's all Labour's brutal asylum reforms will achieve | Stella Creasy If we want to ‘stop the boats’, we need to stop the BS when it comes to what creates refugees, and how to respond to them, says Labour MP Stella Creasy

Jewellery confiscation + temporary refugee status + endless reviews = a limbo prison. Labour thinks that’s a solution. We think it’s a shame.

Starmer's Labour empire crumbling: Polls in freefall (25%), by-election bloodbaths, Rayner quits, donor scandals & U-turns galore.

When asked if he had ambitions for the Labour leadership, @AndyBurnhamGM said he loved his job but when pressed said he had "never ruled out going back to Westminster".
