The Israeli Government’s decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately.

Every day the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and hostages taken by Hamas are being held in appalling and inhuman conditions.

We need a ceasefire now.

Reform UK voted AGAINST our plans to crack down on shoplifters.

Today, we have detained the first illegal migrants under our new deal before returning them to France.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

The first small boat migrants have been detained under our landmark UK-France returns deal.

This is what happens next 👇

As I’ve always said. When it comes to the populist right you need only ask one question: how?

The difference with Labour 💯

That means more jobs, energy security, and protection for British billpayers.
