Our new agreement with France is a vital part of dismantling the business model of criminal smuggler gangs - including for the first time returning people who arrive illegally on small boats and action on illegal working. Thank you @BrunoRetailleau for the close cooperation.

🚨BREAKING: Reform MP Rupert Lowe:
“Migrants who can’t financially support themselves should be made to leave.
The UK is not a charity - it is our home!”
On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were brutally murdered.
Today and every day, we stand against the poison of antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.
The Chancellor is right.
We can choose to be a richer country with higher living standards for everyone, or we can carry on with economic stagnation and decline.
Major infrastructure projects can't always be blocked, delayed and bloated. Time to say yes!
The mask has slipped: Kemi Badenoch and the Tories wants to cut your state pension.
Labour will protect the triple lock, guaranteeing the new state pension will rise by £470 from this April and by up to £1,900 over the course of this parliament.

1. The Tories set up the last inquiry so they had control of the scope;
2. Having received the inquiry report the Tories ignored all the recommendations;
3. Many of the lessons that need to be learned affect councils so they should be the ones setting them up.
My column in the Times today:
Labour’s is shamefully wrong to refuse a proper rape gangs inquiry - and how we can step up the deportation of these appalling offenders ⬇️

Farage does his best to distinguish himself from the far right and pick up disaffected Tories and Telegraph readers.
Elon Musk has met him so he knows this can't possibly be true, hence the tweet.
Tommy Robinson is in jail for contempt of court because he repeated false claims against a Syrian refugee.
Its not a 'debate'. Its a lie and he tried to use it to foment anger and hatred in our society for political gain. Elon Musk appears to be doing the same.
It has struck me for years that if the Tories are really that incensed about Sadiq Khan being mayor of London, they could try doing something novel such as running a candidate against him who is any good whatsoever and has at least a theoretical chance of winning.
Happy Chanukah to all celebrating in the UK and around the world.
May the Festival of Lights bring joy and good health to all.
In Downing Street last week, the Chief Rabbi and members of the Jewish community celebrated Chanukah.
Proud to announce on #Christmas Day we will be open to feed the homeless and less fortunate families in London - please if you know anyone anyone who would be alone or homeless please send them to #BrixtonSoupKitchen 🙌🏾🎄🎁🥳🎅🏾
I am deeply saddened by the news of John Prescott’s death.
John was not only a Labour legend but an inspiration to me and a dear friend. He will be greatly missed by so many.
My thoughts and prayers are with Pauline and the rest of his family. May he rest in peace.
