    These 'reforms' are performatively cruel, still copying Reform UK's vile policies on asylum and on immigration. If we really are having a new broom, there is no need for scapegoating. Labour MPs eye chance to kill off Shabana Mahmood's immigration reforms

    Labour Prime Ministers should never take instructions from a US Ambassador, or from the White House. The sooner Andy Burnham puts distance between his government and Trump, the better. Andy Burnham must increase defence spending, says US Ambassador to UK

    Trump is not a man peace or construction. He is a man of destruction and war. Being so closely allied to him, as Starmer has been, is morally repugnant and dangerous. Trump's Board of Peace drops Gaza reconstruction plan for tiny pilot scheme

    The steel industry had to be nationalised once before, because its private owners took the profits, failed to invest and ran the industry into the ground. Privatisation is an expensive failure. British Steel nationalised to protect construction and rail

    Hose pipe bans seem a bit redundant when AI data centres are guzzling 11-19 million litres of water every day. In a Westminster Hall debate this week, I called for action to address the drought risk posed by their excessive water usage during periods of extreme heat.

    The campaign to make ordinary people worse off, to pay for the war drive continues. Scrap the rise in military spending instead. Scrapping triple lock could save £60bn, OECD tells Burnham

    People simply do not beleive we are in danger of Russian invasion, especially when we are told it is losing the war in Ukraine. So we have ridiculous campaigns to generate war fever. Stockpile food, water and medicines to prepare for war, Britons told

    For nearly 40 years, successive governments have promised a fairer immigration system and delivered laws which make people’s lives harsher and more difficult. This government's Immigration & Asylum Bill is no different.

    Just days ago the government committed £billions more to military spending. But now, 'there is no money left.' The poor are losing out to help fund Trump's war drive. 2/2. Labour must just stop writing cheques for benefit claimants, says Pat McFadden

    Current government policy breaks up families, deliberately blocking them from reuniting, even when people have been accepted as refugees. The latest Bill makes that worse. Over 16,000 refugees unable to reunite with families in UK, says Refugee Council theguardian.com/world/2026/jul…
