The Government is planning to open a dozen new asylum centres.
Where? When? We don’t know.
Because rather than announcing it in Parliament, they tried to sneak it out without anyone noticing.
People deserve to know if illegal migrants are being dropped into their communities.
Everyone has the right to protest.
No one should have the right to hijack national events with amplified noise and deliberate disruption.
Steve Bray’s antics are a national embarrassment. I have written to Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley to ask what can be done to stop it.
The House of Lords just voted to regret Ed Miliband’s obsessive net zero policy, which has been criticised by Tony Blair, GMB and Unite the Union, because it is leading to higher energy costs and lower economic growth.
Tonight’s vote sends a clear message that the next Prime Minister must urgently reassess our approach to energy policy, focusing on lower bills, higher growth and licensing of oil and gas exploration in the North Sea.
🇵🇱🇬🇧 Just a month ago, Polish Member of the European Parliament Dominik Tarczyński promised to "patiently wait" for Keir Starmer’s eventual electoral defeat and for the British people to cast him onto the "ash heap of history" before pursuing personal legal action against him.
That was when Keir Starmer slandered some of the most popular European right-wing figures as "far-right agitators" and "peddlers of hatred and division."
He left MEP Dominik Tarczyński with no choice but to defend his honor and either sue Keir Starmer for his defamatory statements or force him to rescind them.
Now that Starmer is resigning, all the defamed right-wing figures, including Tarczyński, stand to win a large settlement from legal action against Keir Starmer.
"I am a democratically elected Member of the European Parliament. I represent the European Union. You will pay for calling me a hate-mongering agitator. I will patiently wait until the British cast you onto the ash heap of history. Then I will come to defend my honor, and the honor of my voters, in court. I will not forget" wrote MEP Tarczyński.
Team Burnham pressed Keir Starmer to stay on over the summer to give their man time to prepare for power. Starmer rebuffed them in no uncertain manner: you’re forcing me out because you think I’m useless. So why should I wait til September at your convenience?
As I said on @TimesRadio yesterday, this is not an amicable handover.
Starmer was very badly prepared for power in July 2024. Burnham is considerably less well-prepared.
