THE Tories have unveiled a “Deportation Bill” packed with sweeping curbs on both legal and illegal immigration. Policies include disapplying human rights laws from immigration court cases.

Despite not being officially classified as a war memorial, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will give special status to the Westminster monument of our greatest ever PM.

Always tensions in government between a Home Office that wants to slash migration, and a Treasury that sees migration as key to driving growth. You can imagine Yvette Cooper's argument on the BBC today is pretty similar to the case she has been putting to Rachel Reeves. https://t.co/pKmlAer6BO

Grooming gang victim Steph - who has waived her anonymity to @bbclaurak for the first time - tears into Lucy Powell's "dog whistle" comments.
