These videos have been shown to increase likelihood of viewers saying they would vote Reform. They raise the salience of immigration & present it as a threat. But worse, obviously, it sickens decent people, abandoning Labour in droves & still being driven further away by this.
Nearly 50,000 illegal migrants removed or deported since the election. On Monday, I will announce plans to scale up the removal of illegal migrants. I will do whatever it takes to secure our borders.

well said. The Home Secretary's proposals will undermine integration and give fuel do those who would divide us
The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning. The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong. We absolutely need immigration controls. And where those controls decide to

Britainās asylum system is broken - uncaring, chaotic & costly. But it doesnāt have to be this way. On the day the Government announces plans to erode asylum rights, new research by us & @pcs_union by @LSEEcon shows a fairer system could help refugees & boost the economy š§µ

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iāve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
The Sentencing Council tried to give ethnic minority criminals more lenient sentences, than their white counterparts. Identity politics will destroy our country. @Conservatives will abolish the Council as part of our plans for Stronger Borders, and tackling two tier justice.

Very worrying
Trump to propose restrictions on the global right to seek asylum. (The exclusion of Palestinians in Gaza from this so-called universal right, supported by the UN and its member states, was just the beginning...) https://t.co/xGvTxhTtQJ

Just after listening to multi-award winning @AlexCrawfordSkyās eloquent condemnation of Israelās targeting of Palestinian journalists on BBC R4 PM, I see this wild inflammatory āanalysisā by her colleague Jon Craig. Shocking . Hard to believe they work for the same organisation

@rmw It's unclear what "bet" meansāpolitical power, business success, or public influence. Trump, as president, holds short-term political advantage, pushing his tax and immigration bill through the House and threatening to cut Musk's government contracts. Musk, with 220 million X

Such a moving interview on #r4today with Laila Soueif on hunger strike in attempt to get the UK to do more to push Egypt to release her son British writer and activist @alaa . https://t.co/9N1Lws58nF @ 2ā10ā
Laila Soueif is impossibly brave. She now talks of dying without ever seeing her son again. Alaa Abd el-Fattahās detention breaks the Vienna Convention, and our Govt must act decisively. Change travel advice for Egypt, and apply to the International Court of Justice.

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you. You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.
Why trying to out-Farage Farage is just never going to work for Labour. The most hardline, anti-migrant set of policies from any UK Government in recent years and the Daily Mail still portrays it as a betrayal
