This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories.
But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.
Labour is restoring order and control.
Net migration is down 82%. Net migration is now at 171,000, down from a high of 944,000 under the Conservatives.
12,000 fewer people are in asylum hotels since last year.
60,000 people with no right to be here have been removed.
A Must watch.
Good to see our Gov sharing so much good news directly with the public. Cutting the media out is the best part of their new campaigns. 👏👏👏👏

🚨 Good news the outrage merchants hope you miss:
Sky News just reported asylum seekers in UK hotels are at a record low of 20,885 , down 35% year-on-year.
Yet @Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk are nowhere to be seen.
Of course they’re silent. Good news doesn’t farm the anger and anxiety they thrive on. Their business model needs you furious, not informed 😂
Progress is happening. Don’t let the professional rage farmers hide it.
Busy couple of days for Starmer’s Gov. the media is too busy making up the news to bring you this news. Knife crime down, record completions for new Homes, business investment and overhauling youth justice.

Look it’s no mystery why the retail figures are up. Labour uplifted pensions, minimum wage and removed the 2 child cap.
None of those people has an account in the British Virgin Isles. So they spend it.
Who knew???
Times columnist Fraser Nelson pointed out over the weekend that new Home Office statistics paint a striking picture: net migration has fallen dramatically since Labour entered government, now sitting around 80 per cent below the record highs reached under the Conservatives.
And it is not just the headline figure shifting. Remove international students from the equation and long-term immigration levels are now “probably at a multi-year low”, Nelson wrote on his Substack — a remarkable turnaround after years of Tory chaos, broken promises and soaring numbers.
The asylum backlog is also being rapidly reduced under Labour. After ballooning in the aftermath of Covid while successive Conservative ministers appeared paralysed and unwilling to grip the crisis, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has begun making serious progress in clearing the system.
Away from the Westminster psychodrama and endless Reform stunts, an uncomfortable reality is emerging for Labour’s opponents: the Government may quietly be delivering results where the Tories failed for years.

Tomorrow is the King’s Speech.
Since the last one, Labour has delivered change to improve lives, from renters’ rights and action on child poverty to safer streets, rail public ownership and Great British Energy.
Much more still to do, but Labour is getting on with the job.
I’m v glad to hear the breaking news on the BBC News channel that the Prime Minister is not going anywhere and that if people want a different PM they should use the process of the Labour Party.
He won the election, he has the mandate, he’s a good leader & he should stay PM.
I’ve lived under a Reform led council since June. They’re on the brink of losing control due to councillors leaving, sackings and suspensions all within less than a year. All these new seats will do is expose to people their incompetency. They will absolutely implode before 2029.
And just like that, the very wealthiest party in the U.K. backed by foreign billionaires is supported by the very poorest members of society who dislike foreigners. You couldn’t make this shit up.
Just for clarity. List of PM’s that had huge losses in local elections and didn’t resign..
Thatcher 1066
Major 2018
Blair 818
Brown 331
Cameron 405
May 1134
Johnson 485
Sunak 474

Before Nigel Farage and Reform UK tell you he is now Prime Minister, note there are 650 MPs in Parliament and 20,000 councillors in the UK.
Today’s results will likely end with Reform UK having 2500-3000/20,000 councillors and still just 8/650 MPs.
GBNews, the Express, Spectator and Mail will tell you he’s about to be handed the keys to No.10. But it’s local elections, they will all be disappointed.
