Mahmood signals rethink on migrants right to remain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has signalled she is willing to rethink plans to make it harder for foreign workers to claim permanent residence in the UK. The home secretary has been under pressure to water down the proposals from a significant number of Labour MPs, including Housing Secretary Angela Rayner, and trade unions. In a speech to Labour's annual conference, Mahmood acknowledged "some have said elements of these reforms are not fair". And she said the government would "come to a positi
New policies, election speculation: What to expect from Burnham's first Labour conference as PM (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andy Burnham had plenty to say about where the government - and the country - was going wrong at last year's Labour conference in Liverpool. But that was at a fringe meeting on the sidelines of the main event. Now, as Labour leader and prime minister, he is the main event - and it is down to him to show party members and the wider public that he has some answers. Earlier this week, he said his debut leader's speech would leave nobody in any doubt about "what I'm trying to do in this role". "Peop

In a joint statement, the TUC - the umbrella group for unions in the UK - called on the government to "protect our democracy from being captured by the super rich". There is no explicit call for a cap on domestic donations to match those the government plans to impose on foreign-based donations. Bu
Tax banks to cut energy bills, unions tell Andy Burnham (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The leader of Britain's trade unionists has told Andy Burnham the government should introduce a "social tariff", paid for by a bank surcharge, to help low and middle earners with their energy bills. A social tariff is a discount on bills based on household income, and the TUC says it believes two-thirds of households could benefit. The TUC says the bank surcharge, which was reduced in 2023 from 8% to 3% by the then Conservative government, should be reversed - and estimates it would raise £9bn o
