Exclusive: One of the biggest investigations I've worked on...
More than 1,500 convicted foreign criminals are living in taxpayer-funded asylum accommodation because they have not been deported.
Labour is battling a growing removals backlog, with almost 20,000 foreign crooks living across Britain.
And an 11-month probe by this newspaper can reveal around 1,509 offenders have been given free homes found for them.
Critics said our findings “reveal that the Home Office is paying for illegal migrant criminals to be scattered in communities”.
The Home Office insisted that the decision to release a foreign criminal into the community is “never taken lightly”, before adding “suitable accommodation is sourced prior to their release to manage them effectively”.
This collaborates evidence given to MPs by asylum accommodation provider Serco, who revealed a “lack of returns agreements with certain countries means their nationals will never be deported”.
They added: “These individuals are therefore transferred to asylum accommodation on an indefinite basis.”
Journalists attending Andy Burnham’s speech this morning will be watching from a balcony (as opposed to being seated in the room). Burnham isn’t set to take any questions and reporters’ position in the room makes that virtually impossible.
Latest! ‘the wannabe PM should ask himself this: nearly a century after equal suffrage was won, why should any self-respecting woman vote for a man who doesn’t respect her rights?’

As I said on BBC2 back in 2008, when Gordon Brown brought back Mandelson, such behaviour demonstrates Freud's 'Compulsion to Repeat', a flawed attempt to repair past hurts by doing the same thing. Starmer hasn't learned, not even from his own Mandelson fiasco
Downing Street dodging scrutiny again
Keir Starmer is holding a press conference shortly - good, but No10 has used this as an excuse to cancel today's lobby briefing
So no opportunity for detailed questions with follow-ups on Iran/economy/meningitis or any number of topics

Latest for @Daily_Express ‘Phillipson was endorsed by UNISON’s Labour Link committee, the same union that has repeatedly sided against nurses asserting sex-based rights.’

A must read Daily Express tomorrow. BOTH Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick make their cases after an explosive week in Westminster.
Very proud of my colleagues for pulling this off!
Letter in Times from former PM's spokesman Tim Kelly, saying that he found afternoon lobby briefings 'a particular pain' because journalists could expose 'half answers' more effectively.
