Immigration. I am making four important asks of this Government. You can learn more about the progress made and what more needs to be done, here: piped.video/fYZ15QFHmKo

The current system for foreign care workers has created a race to the bottom - the sector is plagued by exploitation. We can change that. Let’s do it.

No arguments justifying retrospective settlement extensions for genuine care workers justify this cruel policy. We must do the right thing.

The argument that we can’t exempt overseas care workers from retrospective settlement extensions because they might leave the sector is not just wrong. It’s cruel. We should not be keeping care workers in the sector by trapping them in it, at the mercy of sponsors who know they have nowhere else to go. That creates the conditions for exploitation and a race to the bottom. If we want care workers to stay, the answer is simple: treat them with dignity, improve working conditions, allow them to progress in their careers, move between employers and integrate into our communities. And honour the five-year route to settlement they came here under. We have an opportunity to do the right thing. Firm but fair. Let’s not forget the fair bit.

I visited Piddington to see residents there. I listened to them. Watch my documentary to find out what the potential solutions are. 🔗piped.video/fYZ15QFHmKo

Reform absolutely obsessed with the riots in France! Why? Because they want it here, they hate our country with a passion. Reject.

Lots of people care about immigration. It’s right to give you the information properly.

Labour MP and former migration minister @MikeTappTweets supports sending those coming to the UK illegally to a third country for processing. “I’ve no doubt the Home Office are looking at it” But if not Rwanda, where? @maitlis | @jonsopel

“This would surely breach every human rights law we have.” @BenKentish challenges former migration minister Mike Tapp over his proposal to ‘detain’ those arriving into the UK via small boats.

A common question I’ve had from journalists today is “what’s the top line”. There isn’t one today - instead, make yourself a brew and enjoy my documentary on immigration: 🔗 piped.video/fYZ15QFHmKo

One of the problems Reform continue to face is those wishing to become its politicians are often reprobates and knuckle draggers. Not all of them, but a high proportion. The public are starting to notice.

Why did Zia Yusuf really resign…… Is the answer coming soon?

Monday.

A certain Rachel asked Nobel laureate Paul Krugman a question at Oxford last night, casually noting the IMF’s praise for UK deficit and debt reduction and the productivity puzzle being revised away. All during her time as Chancellor, as it happens. Laughter and applause.
