I said I’d do politics differently. So these are the facts:
The UK has seen the lowest number of summer small boat arrivals since 2020.
We’ve returned more than 80,000 people with no right to be here – and annual returns are at their highest level since 2016.
There are half the number of asylum seekers in hotels than there were last year.
And today, we go further by bringing the total number of deployed French officers tackling small boat crossings to nearly 1,050.
But I know that we can’t be complacent on this.
Smuggling gangs are constantly adapting their tactics, and we need to respond quickly and stay one step ahead of the criminals facilitating dangerous crossings.
The small boats crisis is a shared European challenge, and no country can solve it alone. Working with France and our international partners, we will restore order and control to our borders and prevent smugglers exploiting vulnerable migrants.
Sorry @BBCiPlayer but isn’t THE WHOLE POINT of the BBC covering #Glastonbury2025 so that people who can’t get there can watch the biggest acts?? Why aren’t Kaiser Chiefs on live?
Last image of #MahsaAmini alive moments before being severely beaten for showing hair from under her hijab. In a coma for two days before dying from her head injuries Sept 16th.
Her name has become the most shared hashtag of all time. A name that sparked 11 months of ongoing nationwide and global protests.
1 year anniversary will be highly significant.
The countdown started.
T-minus 1 month.
RESULTS of our poll on Monday night after hundreds of Tory MPs failed to vote on the damning Privileges Committee report about Johnson lying to Parliament.
"Should those cowardly MPs resign?"
96% said YES
Nearly 40,000 votes
We've had enough of this corrupt govt
This Tory govt has destroyed our trust in our democracy according to a big poll.
ONLY 6% trust our political system of democracy.
HUGE 89% want constitutional reform.
Trust has plummeted massively since Johnson became PM
General Election NOW https://t.co/2jNa4T1FAD
We're deeply into the wiggy bit now. Charles is wearing the GOLD DRESS of "humility and simplicity", and has just been handed the GOLDEN BRACELETS of "sincerity and wisdom."
