'Small boats scandal proves UK must start from scratch to get a grip' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So much has been written about the small boats, and quite rightly. The arrival of dinghy after dinghy on the south coast, overwhelmingly carrying young men, many with their ID documents thrown overboard and left floating in the English Channel, matters for lots of reasons. Firstly, there is the sheer economic cost of housing them, whether in hotels, former military bases or other places. Plus all the other costs we often forget. Like residential care for minors, which can run to many thousands o
'Spare the pearl clutching over Reform donations row, it's hardly unique' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Executives at Channel 4 will no doubt be patting themselves on the back following their broadcast of an undercover sting on Reform. The documentary alleges a breach of political donation rules and has claimed two high-profile scalps – James Orr, Reform’s head of policy, and Dan Jukes, a long-standing Farage aide, have stepped down pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

Read excerpt
The scenes last week of thousands upon thousands of illegal migrants flooding across the border from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta are a stark warning of what happens when countries do not secure their borders. In just 48 hours, an extraordinary 50,000 illegal migrants entered Spain from Morocco. They were overwhelming young men. Ceuta is a small enclave located on the northern coast of Africa. But politically it is part of Spain. Sitting at one of only two land borders between Afric
'Announcing policies is the easy bit – wait 'til Andy Burnham has to fund them' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham is not hanging around. Since entering No 10 less than a fortnight ago he has made a blitz of announcements – all revealed in the form of slick social media videos seemingly designed to remind voters how much more affable and authentic our new Prime Minister is compared to the last one. The cost of these announcements is racking up – the abolition of VAT on electricity bills will cost £850million, bringing back the £2 bus fare cap will be more than £500million, ending rough sleeping
