Reform’s plan to remove ALL illegal migrants will lower rents here too. It’s basic supply and demand economics.
DHS is reducing your rent, especially in states that cooperate with @ICEgov. Texas accounted for about a quarter of ICE arrests in July and posted the country’s sharpest rent drops, with San Antonio down 4.8%, Austin 4.3%, Dallas and Houston about 3%. Miami’s average rent is down 2.6%. Phoenix is down 4.2%. Atlanta is down 3.2%. Nashville is down 5.3%. New Orleans is down 8%.   Research shows that illegal-worker inflows push rents and home prices up. That inflow has been reversed in the states running the hardest interior enforcement.   Want lower cost of living: support mass deportations.

It’s obvious that Andy Burnham doesn’t want talk of a General Election overshadowing Labour’s conference. Reform are ready for an election whenever it is called.

Ikram should have been dismissed as a judge a long time ago.
🚨NEW: Judge Tan Ikram CBE, the judge who denied Danny Tommo bail and said he was "satisfied there is a real possibility of an immediate custodial sentence", has a history of being placed in politically motivated cases. . Sentenced a man to 20 weeks in jail for posting a racist joke in a WhatsApp chat. . Let off the OnlyFans girl who threw milkshake at Nigel Farage. . Let off two women for terrorism charged after glorifying 7 October massacre. . Was himself given a disciplinary after liking a post on LinkedIn that stated Israel was a terrorist state. Although obviously not a crime, it did bring into question his impartiality. . He was given a CBE by Boris Johnson in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to judicial diversity. He has spoken out about what he sees as the problems due to the lack of ethnic diversity in the police and the judiciary.

What Del Somerville did was wrong. But a 2 year prison sentence is obviously two-tier. Why is the British state punishing protestors harder than illegal migrants who break into our county and commit appalling crimes? Why do judges apply the principle of deterrence to sentencing protestors, and not to the illegal migrants who are terrorising women and girls across our country? Somerville got 2 years for swearing aggressively at the police and throwing a plastic bottle towards them. But for context: Maqbil Dhaheri arrived on a small boat and was sentenced in April 2026 for sexually assaulting a nurse. He escaped prison with a 12 month community order. Hussein Almiyyahi arrived in a small boat in April 2024 and was sentenced in May 2026 for four counts of sexual assaulting three women. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison. Tadi Alemeyeha arrived in July 2025 and was sentenced in February 2026 for sexually assaulting a woman and then threatening to keep her silent. He was sentenced for 18 months. This is why the British state has a legitimacy crisis. It exerts far more effort suppressing people’s concerns about immigration than actually fixing it. Reform will ensure the British government actually serves the British people again.
Man jailed after throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police during protests in Portsmouth Del Somerville, 42, has been jailed for two years at Portsmouth Crown Court after pleading guilty to violent disorder after throwing a plastic bottle and swearing at police during an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth, Hampshire, on September 6.

NEW: Andy Burnham is now reconsidering building the Newark Bypass - but at nearly TRIPLE the original cost. This is farcical. First Labour cancelled the Newark Bypass, ditching the contractor and years of planning. Now, after our campaign, they’re reconsidering building it - but at the cost of roughly £700 million, not £300 million. If they do change their mind, the documents show the project would run until *2038*. This is a clown show, not a government. How can local people and businesses have any confidence in this spectacular incompetence? How did the news break? It was snuck out in the construction press. Once again this government have treated local people as an afterthought. This road is a non-negotiable investment for Newark and Nottinghamshire. I won’t stop campaigning until shovels are in the ground. I am writing to the Transport Secretary demanding an explanation and will be raising this shambles in parliament. If Labour won’t build it, a Reform government will.

Instead of wasting leverage begging Trump to approve the Chagos surrender, Burnham should do everything to stop a diesel ban to the UK. So far he hasn’t raised it. So I have👇🏻

The Tories are today re-announcing a welfare plan so weak the Lib Dems could have authored it. Why do they lack the courage to cut the benefits bill by even half as much as Reform’s £52 billion plan? The Tories still refuse to adopt Reform’s policies to: - End ALL foreign citizens accessing benefits - Make those claiming benefits who are fit and healthy work in their community for 20 hours a week - Eradicate the doubling in fraud and error Can Kemi really not get her backbenchers to sign off on proper savings? The truth is their fake “policy commissions” do not exist. Never did. They haven’t done the work. Their welfare policy is two and a half pages long. And it shows. Their announcement today doesn’t show any workings because their costings are badly wrong. They seem to assume that each of the 350,000 affected claimants is currently receiving the UC standard allowance for a single over-25 adult and that, therefore, each person moved to the Subsistence Allowance saves the exchequer £1,530 (350,000 x 1,530 = £535 million). But a large proportion of UC claimants receive smaller standard allowances, because they are under 25, in a couple, or already subject to sanctions. Moving these people onto subsistence allowance would therefore save less than £1530. Similarly, they have not accounted for the new incentive for people to move to health benefits, which are exempt, nor for the administrative cost of this system. The real saving would be more than £100 million lower. It was a nice attempt, rustled up in panic after Reform laid out our detailed plans. But only Reform have done the work to find the savings, which is why only we can raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000.

Did Burnham and Miliband raise this in the US? Or are they still putting Net Zero above energy security and prices at the pumps?
The US supplies 1/6th of diesel consumed in the UK, so this move could threaten our economic security. Meanwhile, Labour oversaw the shutdown of domestic refineries at Grangemouth and Lindsey last year, due to high operating costs. As a former MI6 director warned recently, Britain's energy policy is a threat to national security. And tax on diesel is due to rise again in January, as Reeves’s postponed 5p duty hike - which Reform would cancel - returns to bite motorists. Will Andy Burnham avert this disaster? TikTok videos don’t fill up the car, the tractor or the generator.

Ah. I see the problem here. The first line should have said "Piddington is not JUST an immigration issue". Stop getting your knickers in a twist over a typo. If it's not an immigration issue why am I talking about the ECHR and illegal arrivals in the same tweet? 🙄 If you'd actually been to Piddington, you'd know that putting 1300 men in a camp next to a village of 130 women IS also a women's safety issue.

This is, in fact, an immigration issue. Everything else is downstream from that. You lot always want to avoid talking about immigration because of your abysmal record. But avoiding it only causes more anger. Call it what it is, Kemi.
Piddington is not an immigration issue, it's a women's issue. Everyone should feel safe in their home. But the women I spoke to in Piddington are terrified, and the Government isn't listening. Enough is enough. We need to leave the ECHR, deport all illegal arrivals and protect communities like Piddington.

“Piddington is not an immigration issue” WHAT are you talking about? This is an absolutely laughable piece of work from a party that's supposed to be convincing voters it has changed on immigration. Piddington is an immigration issue, so is the wider picture of women's safety.

The UK is forecast to grow much slower than the US with inflation still stuck at around 3%. And that’s before the possible shock to diesel supplies from a Trump export ban. The only way out is to cut wasteful spending and pursue radical supply-side reforms to planning, energy, and welfare.
