THAT AMENDMENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BILL WITH COVERED ALL CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

WHAT WHAT ABOUT WHITE GROOMING GANGS AND PEDOPHILES, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND, DOMESTIC CHILD ABUSE VICTIMS?

Victims will be given more power to have their cases re-examined, the Home Secretary has announced today, as she unveils a £10 million action plan to tackle grooming gangs and child sexual abuse.

gov.uk/government/new…

As part of this government’s mission to halve violence against women and girls, deliver justice for victims and ensure more perpetrators of this crime end up behind bars, today the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has set out new measures to finally deliver change and action for survivors of grooming gang crimes to get justice.

Survivors and victims will be able to ask for their closed cases to be reviewed by an independent criminal justice review panel where their previous investigations were not taken forward to prosecution by the police or Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
The Home Secretary is writing to the National Police Chiefs’ Council requesting officers look again at these unsolved and closed grooming gangs cases, backed by £2.5m in funding for stronger investigations.
Since taking office, the government has been engaging with victims to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). This work provides further momentum to deliver change for victims. Today the Home Secretary has pledged that by Easter 2025 the government will lay out a clear timetable for taking forward the recommendations in the final IICSA report.

We will also provide new national backing for locally-led inquiries, backed by £5 million of funding.

Working in partnership with Tom Crowther KC, the chair of the impactful Telford Inquiry into grooming gangs, the Home Office will develop a new effective framework for victim-centred, locally-led inquiries, and work with Oldham Council and four other pilot areas to implement it.

It will also develop new ways for councils to work locally with victims. Further work is underway as part of the forthcoming Hillsborough Law and the duty of candour to boost the accountability mechanisms that support and follow up on local inquiries, ensuring that public servants that fail victims are properly held to account.

At the same time, the Home Secretary has unveiled a rapid national audit to uncover the scale and profile of group-based offending in the UK today, including ethnicity.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has commissioned this audit led by Baroness Louise Casey to examine existing data and evidence to draw a comprehensive picture of the nature, scale and profile of group-based child sexual abuse offending identified by police and agencies, and equip law enforcement with the information and understanding they need to combat these crimes. This rapid analysis of data and evidence will allow us to deliver quicker change on the recommendations in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse report (IICSA).

Baroness Casey has a strong track record of carrying out successful and complicated pieces of work across the public sector, including cross-government reviews and the culture in the Metropolitan Police. She is well placed to conduct this audit, given her no holds barred 2015 report following the Jay inquiry into child sexual exploitation committed by Pakistani-heritage gangs in Rotherham.


The audit will begin soon and last three months. It will be supported by an expert advisory board and draw on the views of victims and survivors. This work, including the new Victims and Survivors Panel and work with Mr Crowther KC, will be backed by £2.5 million in funding.

In an oral statement in the House this afternoon (16 January 2025), Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said:

Nothing matters more than the safety of our children. Yet for too long, this horrific abuse was allowed to continue. The victims were ignored. The perpetrators were left unpunished. Too many people looked the other way.

And even when these shocking crimes were brought to light, and national inquiries were commissioned to get to the truth, the resulting reports were too often left on the shelf as their recommendations gathered dust.

Under this government, that has changed. We are taking action not just on those recommendations, but on the additional work we need protect victims, put perpetrators behind bars and to uncover the truth wherever things have gone wrong.

This is about the protection of children, the protection of young girls, and the radical and ambitious mission we have set for this government to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.

We have already announced we will introduce a mandatory reporting duty for those working with children to report sexual abuse as part of the Crime and Policing Bill and legislate to make grooming an aggravating factor when sentencing child sexual offences – so punishments properly fit the crime.

We will ensure police learn lessons from the past and make all 43 forces improve data collection on child sexual abuse – including ethnicity.

Of the 115,000 child sexual exploitation and abuse offences recorded in 2023 by police, over 4,000 of them were group-based offending. Of those, around 1,100 involved abuse within the family, and over 300 involved abuse in institutions, whilst over 700 of them were group-based grooming gang offences.

But the vast majority of child sexual exploitation and abuse goes unidentified and unreported and so we expect this to be a significant underestimate.

Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, Jess Phillips, said:

Child sexual abuse and exploitation is one of the most harrowing crimes anyone could face. I have dedicated many years of my life to tackling it, both before I was a government minister, and now I have never been more steadfast in my resolve to protect more children and arrest more appalling perpetrators.

But change is about deeds, not words. That’s why we are working quickly to empower more victims to get justice by giving more the right to request their cases are re-examined, and making sure survivors are a core part of the rapid audit of existing evidence in these heartbreaking cases.

Our work does not stop here. We are also urging police forces to look again at closed and unsolved cases on their files, to ensure they pursue criminals and put them behind bars so they cannot hurt anyone else.

THERE WAS AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY IN 2020. @Conservatives IGNORED IT

@Keir_Starmer achieved the highest conviction rate for serious sexual offences,rape and child exploitation when he was DPP with @nazirafzal
THEY PROSECUTED 23 GROOMING GANGS INCLUDING ROCHDALE. THE TORIES RELEASED THEM EARLY BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES WHERE THEIR VICTIMS LIVED AND THEY STARTED ABUSING THEM AGAIN

MANY COULD OF BEEN DEPORTED BUT @pritipatel
FAILED. @AndyBurnhamGM
CHALLENGED HER ABOUT IT.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

The Inquiry

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse published 19 reports on 15 investigations covering a wide range of institutions. These reports were used by the Chair and Panel to help inform findings and shape recommendations to better protect children in the future. Rapid read versions provide an overview of each of these reports, as well as the Inquiry's Interim Report, summarising the key findings and any recommendations made.

The Report

The Inquiry published its final Report in October 2022. The Report makes a number of powerful recommendations, based on separate investigations and a unique body of research. It also includes the voices of victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

@dominicgrieve_
WAS DPP FROM 2010 TO 2014 HE WAS KEIRS BOSS AND BACKS HIM 100% ON SAVILE AND GROOMING GANGS
@nazirafzal was the
prosecutor behind Rochdale grooming gang crackdown @Keir_Starmer
was his boss.

crown prosecutor was to initiate prosecutions in the case of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring, overturning an earlier decision by the CPS. 

He suggested that 'white professionals' over-sensitivity to political correctness and fear of appearing racist may well have contributed to justice being stalled'. 

He used his position to stress that abusers were found in all communities, and that the vast majority of paedophiles in Britain are white. 

Afzal's work against grooming gangs led to criticism from 'members of the Asian community' and a campaign by the far right to have him sacked and deported. 

When asked about these campaigns , Afzal said: 'I was born in Birmingham. They can deport me to Birmingham if they want to', and said 'I think if you are getting it from both sides, you are probably getting something right.' 

It is not the first official report into child sex exploitation in Rochdale - a report in 2013 found that hundreds of young girls were allowed to fall into the hands of Asian grooming gangs because police and social workers may have been scared of seeming racist. They refused to believe that race was an issue even though dozens of young, white girls were being specifically targeted and groomed for sex by older Pakistani men.

Yesterday's report makes for distressing reading, revealing the heartbreaking stories of just some of the victims of the depraved gangs of men, many of whom are yet to be brought to justice for their crimes.

In danger Get your facts straight

BORRIS JOHNSON WAS THE PM WHEN THE INVESTIGATIONS BEGAN

Boris Johnson has declared money spent on non-recent child abuse investigations as “spaffed up a wall”, prompting immediate criticism from Labour for making reckless and inappropriate comments.

The current favourite to succeed Theresa May as Conservative leader was arguing that police time and resources were being wasted on crimes committed years ago as he was questioned on an LBC radio phone-in on Wednesday morning.

He said: “And one comment I would make is I think an awful lot of money and an awful lot of police time now goes into these historic offences and all this malarkey.

You know, £60m I saw was being spaffed up a wall on some investigation into historic child abuse and all this kind of thing. What on earth is that going to do to protect the public now?”

Louise Haigh,the shadow policing minister, said Johnson’s remarks were insulting to survivors of abuse.

“Could you look the victims in the eye and tell them investigating and bringing to justice those who abused them, as children, is a waste of money?” she asked.

Johnson’s remarks came hours after Cardinal George Pell was sentenced in Australia to six years in prison after being convicted of sexually abusing two 13-year-old choirboys in 1996. He is the most senior member of the Catholic clergy to be convicted of child abuse offences. Pell’s appeal is to be heard in June.

Ministers set up the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse after the Jimmy Savile revelations prompted reporting from around the country of a string of abuse scandals that in many cases had been covered up or not investigated for years.

The inquiry, chaired by Prof Alexis Jay, is in the middle of a three-week examination of claims involving politicians. It heard earlier this week that Eliza Manningham-Buller, a former director general of MI5, stayed away from the 1995 funeral of Peter Morrison, a Conservative minister under Margaret Thatcher, over allegations of child sex abuse and his pretence that she was his girlfriend. Morrison had denied the allegations.

An ally of Johnson said he had no intention of apologising or clarifying his remarks about child abuse cases. The MP was making the point that spending tens of millions on historic cases where an alleged perpetrator was dead should not be the priority when the cash could be used on front line policing and tackling knife crime.

Johnson consistently leads polls of Conservative party members when they are asked who they would like to be the next leader. The former foreign secretary, who resigned from the government last summer, voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal on Tuesday.

He told MPs the prime minister had only secured minimal improvements to her Brexit agreement, with “the result that, like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they have sewed an apron of fig leaves that does nothing to conceal the embarrassment and indignity of the UK”.

HERE IS THE VIDEO OF JOHNSON ON @LBC

Boris Johnson has said that spending police budgets on historical child abuse is "spaffing money up the wall". The former Foreign Secretary was responding to a question live on LBC on which he was asked whether cuts to the police service are linked to the rise in violent crime in London. Mr Johnson insisted that a more sensible use of police budgets was more important - and it was his choice of words which proved most controversial.

TORIES AND REFORM ARE TRYING TO DISTRACT FROM LABOUR ACHEIVEMENTS AND TO DELIBERATELY MAKE THE UK FAIL

Tens of thousands more pensioners now in receipt of Pension Credit

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has released new statistics [Thursday 28 November] on the amount of Pension Credit applications, as well as applications processed and those claims that were successful.

45,000 additional pensioners are now receiving Pension Credit which is a Gateway Benefit worth over 4k on top of Pension Credit, Pension payment and Disability Payment. Due to Labour Government promotion drive

Pension Credit acts as gateway benefit, so not only is it worth £3,900 per year on average, it means that people who are eligible may also qualify for help with housing costs such as rent and council tax as well as energy bills.

The government will continue to stand behind vulnerable households this winter, including through the £150 Warm Home Discount for low-income households from October and by extending the Household Support Fund with £1 billion to ensure local authorities can support vulnerable people and families.

Millions of pensioners are also set to benefit from an increase of up to £470 to the state pension in April and up to £1,900 more over the next five years.

Pension Credit will increase by 4.1% from April 2025:
Single person: The standard minimum guarantee will increase to £227.10 per week
Couple: The standard minimum guarantee will increase to £346.60 per week
This increase is in line with the Government's Triple Lock commitment. It's also part of a package of measures to support pensioners, including:
Winter Fuel Payments: A £25 automatic bank top-up for eligible households when the average temperature is zero degrees or below for seven consecutive days
Warm Home Discount: An extended £150 scheme
Household Support Fund: An additional £1 billion in 2025-26
Other changes to benefits in 2025 include:
The basic State Pension will increase to £176.45 per week
The deadline to pay voluntary NICs for the contribution years 2006/7 to 2015/6 will be extended to April 5, 2025
The Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP) will be rolled out nationally in Scotland by April 22

WILDLIFE

Landscapes and wildlife, promote nature recovery, meet the targets in the Environment Act, build sustainable homes that support biodiversity, and improve access to nature. It included plans to establish nine new National River Walks and three new National Forests in England, expand nature-rich habitats such as wetlands, peat bogs and forests, and move towards a circular economy, while emphasising the need for coordinated global action to address the climate and nature crisis.

Labour also committed to ban trail hunting (a loophole in the Hunting Act which is used by many hunts as a front to continue hunting foxes with dogs), to work with farmers and scientists on measures to eradicate Bovine TB so that the ineffective badger cull could be brought to an end, and to introduce the long-anticipated ban on the import of hunting trophies (an unfulfilled commitment of the previous government)

Inflation fell unexpectedly to 1.7% in the year to September, the lowest rate in three-and-a-half year which cut interest rates. Increase Inflation to 2.3% is due to increased Fuel and Energy and tobacco costs

MEANS TESTED BENEFITS

The biggest: Universal Credit, which goes up at ministers' discretion.

All the main disability benefits - personal independence payment, attendance allowance, and disability living allowance - as well as carer’s allowance, go up by at least September's inflation rate by law.

It is the first time annual price increases as measured by the Office for National Statistics have moderated to a level below the central bank’s 2% target since April 2021, giving positive news to the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in the run-up to her budget in two weeks’ time.

Suspected people smuggler detained in Leicester faces extradition

suspected people smuggler wanted by German law enforcement has been arrested by officers from the National Crime Agency in Leicestershire.

Syrian national Mohamad Alshater, 30, had been listed as wanted for his alleged involvement in a network responsible for moving a large number of migrants into Germany in vehicles across the border from the Czech Republic.

Following joint working involving UK and German authorities a warrant was issued for his arrest, and investigations began to locate him.

He was tracked down as living in the Frog Island area of Leicester city centre by officers from the National Extradition Unit, which is part of the NCA's Joint International Crime Centre, who moved in to detain him on the morning of Monday 2 December.

On 3 December Alshater was remanded in custody by Westminster Magistrates' as the process to extradite him begins. He will appear in court again on 10 December.

Tony Allen, from the NCA's Joint International Crime Centre, said:

"People smuggling is an international crime and we are working closely with our counterparts in Germany and across Europe to target the individuals and networks involved.

"These crime groups treat people as a commodity and don't care about the risks, which is why tackling them is such a priority."

UK asylum backlog lower since Rwanda plan scrapped, figures show
Refugee Council says nearly 120,000 people await case processing with 63,000 set to be granted asylum by Labour government

Nearly 63,000 people who were waiting for their cases to be processed at the time of the general election are expected to be granted asylum by the Labour government, an analysis has found.

The Refugee Council said the government’s decision to scrap the plan to deport people to Rwanda and accelerate claims meant the asylum backlog was forecast to be 118,063 at the start of 2025 – 59,000 cases lower than if the government had continued with the policy.

Figures show that there were 118,882 people in the backlog by the end of June 2024. Based on the grant rates in the year to that date the charity expects 62,801 people to be granted asylum.

HERES A FEW RESPONSES TO YOUR RIDICULOUS COMMENTS

Why 2 CHILD CAP AND LIVING ON BENEFITS DOESN'T HELP GET KIDS OUT OF POVERTY

WORKING WITH A GOOD WAGE DOES

FREE CHILDCARE DOES

What has happened to increase poverty?

Lack of Growth in the ECONOMY plus real term wages haven't increased since 2008.

A high cost of living means we all get less to live on.

High Energy bills

High Rent lack of Social housing and Council Houses

Benefits also haven't increased in line with inflation or wage increases. The Income Plantform needs increasing.

I'm on UC and a qualified Debt Adviser

Money taken off your payment UC PAYMENT

Your payments might be reduced if any of the following apply:

you are paying back an advance on a Universal Credit payment

you would get above the amount limited by the benefit cap

PEOPLE ON UC PAY TAX NI THEN

Every £1 you earn from working, your Universal Credit payment goes down by 55p. Your income will be your wages plus your new Universal Credit payment.

Most employers will report your wages for you. You will normally only need to report monthly earnings if you’re self-employed.

Minimum income floor is the earnings around used to work out your benefit. This is applied to self-employed people who claim Universal Credit. If you are self-employed and your earnings are low, your benefit may be worked out on higher earnings than you have. This is called the 'minimum income floor'.
@UKLabour
ARE REFORMING UC and increasing the amount received

There's a shortage of skilled workers such as plumbers,Tilers,
Carpenters electricians builders. Learning a Skilled Trade through Training for unemployed could build the economy very quickly as it increases more tax and NI as soon as people receive their first wages. There's 1000s of jobs that need filling.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth!

@UKLabour want employers paying a Living wage,better working conditions,
cheaper childcare, FREE CHILDCARE for low income Families thats means tested and FREE breakfast clubs for all Children,free school meals for low income families and end the High costs of School Uniforms.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth by paying a decent wage with cheaper childcare and FREE breakfast clubs so parents can go to work earlier or start work .

People paying tax increases the ECONOMY, so more for public services and BENEFITS for those who can't WORK.

Many parents get maternity and paternity leave.

Labour will embrace technological advancements in a way that ensures both workers and our economy benefit. Ensure workers can benefit from flexible working, including opportunities for flexi-time contracts and hours that better accommodate school terms where they are not currently available, by making flexible working the default from day one for all workers, except where it is not reasonably feasible.

Young parents working more hours or start working increases their income considerably than staying on benefits. They pay tax and 6 grows the economy every time they are paid. This is what Labour's plan is.Support people with young children to get back to work with support and better wages.

Labour's National Wealth Fund explained!

I recently attended a seminar which breaks down exactly how it will work & how it will benefit the British people.

What I learnt was exciting, encouraging & revolutionary!!

Firstly, sovereign wealth funds are not a new concept. Around 80 countries currently operate them. Most famously, the Qatar sovereign wealth fund. Some of you may have seen how the government of Qatar has invested public money into buying some of the world's biggest football clubs, most notably Paris Saint Germain.

In the first half of 2024, Norway's sovereign wealth fund posted profits of $138 billion dollars. Just imagine what we in the UK could do with that money right now.

CNBC reported that Norway's returns were driven by "robust investments in technology stocks"

On average, wealth fund investments offer an annual 8% return. Initial public consultations have provided some predictable ways of spending that money, such as increasing public pensions and helping young people with housing deposits.
This will be further supplemented by Labour's plan to invest in apprenticeships and the establishment of Skills England, a new national body tasked with driving the skills needs of the next decade. No longer will we need to rely on international imports to address the severe skills shortage, home-grown talent will address that need.

Why 2 CHILD CAP AND LIVING ON BENEFITS DOESN'T HELP GET KIDS OUT OF POVERTY

What has happened to increase poverty?

Lack of Growth in the ECONOMY plus real term wages haven't increased since 2008.

Parliament’s £180m expenses bonanza: photoshoots and business class flights

Exclusive: Train enthusiast MP claimed £52,000 on London hotels, instead of catching the train

Conservative chair of the Transport Committee claimed £51,896 on hotels in London – despite living in a constituency just 35 minutes’ train ride from the capital.

Alongside accommodation fees, some 398 MPs also racked up parking costs of £307,000 in three years – among them claims from scores of government ministers, including transport secretary Mark Harper and health secretary Steven Barclay.

The government ended free parking for NHS staff in April last year, insisting it was the “right” thing to do. Since then, ministers have continued to charge taxpayers for their parking, including Chris Heaton-Harris, Alister Jack, Johnny Mercer, Nick Gibb, Guy Opperman and Victoria Prentis.

As a perk of the job, MPs also have access to about 400 free parking spaces in the House of Commons.

Matt Hancock claimed £5,720 to pay a consultancy firm run by his former adviser.

Ben Greenstone served as Hancock’s private secretary when he was minister for digital and creative industries. He went on to set up Taso Advisory Ltd, which describes itself as a “specialist technology public policy consultancy”. Hancock then hired the firm to help his parliamentary office and used his expenses to pay it on at least four occasions.

Other claims approved by IPSA may raise eyebrows despite being relatively small amounts. For instance, records show that Conservative MP Mark Francois – who made headlines in the 2009 expenses scandal after claiming money for chocolates, sweets and snacks – allowed his staff to claim £25.30 to cover train fares for attending the funeral of fellow MP David Amess, who was murdered in 2021.

members of the Lords have taken more than £41m of daily allowance over the last three years, together with £3.2m travel costs.

THE MPs that have so far claimed the highest expenses in the region have been revealed - as figures show how much they spent in ten months.

Five Conservative MPs each claimed back more than £50,000 from the taxpayer in most recent data published by regulators last week.

Northern Echo analysis of Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority data found each MP had spent significantly above the average.

Conservative MP for Darlington, Peter Gibson claimed back more than £66,000 in expenses between April 2020 and January 2021.

The Conservative MP for Thirsk and Malton, Kevin Hollinrake, has so far claimed the second highest amount over the ten-month period, with claims totalling £55,758.
Conservative MP for Sedgefield, Paul Howell has seen the region's third-highest amount claimed with £52,719 over the ten-month period.

Conservative MP for Berwick, Anne Marie-Trevelyan accrued claims totalling £52,470 between April 2020 and January 2021.

Accommodation outside of her Northumberland constituency accounted for £19,740 of this - with £1,183 per month going on rent.

Bitfinex, Tether shareholder paid $40K for Farage to visit Trump after rally shooting
..

Farage’s £32k all-expense paid trip to America was to ‘represent Clacton on the world stage’

The Reform UK man, who has been barely seen in Essex since winning a seat in parliament in July, has been revealed to be the highest-earning MPs in parliament after he updated his earnings.

It shows that he is paid £97,928.40 a month by broadcaster GB News for 32 hours of work, while he made £4,000 on Cameo, a platform on which well-known people record personalised videos for paying customers, and £4,000 a month writing articles for the Daily Telegraph.

Christopher Harborne, a shareholder in both Bitfinex and Tether’s parent company and a prominent right-wing backer, paid for Nigel Farage to visit Donald Trump following the failed assassination attempt against the former president.

That’s according to the UK Parliament’s latest register of interest filings, which details the financial interests of its politicians. It revealed that Farage’s trip to the US on July 17 cost £32,000 (~$41,500) and was funded by Harborne.

Filings also detail that George Cottrell, Farage’s aid and a convicted criminal who was caught agreeing to launder drug funds, funded Farage’s £9,250 trip to the National Conservatism Conference in Brussels in April.

Farage was also revealed to have made almost £1.2 million a year from the right-wing broadcaster GB News, seemingly making him the highest-paid MP in the UK.

Delinquent” Sunak squandered £130 billion since last election

Best for Britain|June 01, 2024

New figures published today show that Rishi Sunak’s Government has wastefully or scandalously spent more than £130 billion since 2019.

Reports of government spending, found that in the last two months alone the Government added more than £6 billion to their total, reaching £131,209,116,062 before Parliament was formally dissolved.

Outrageously, the Government forked out £32,000 of taxpayer cash to pay the legal costs of  online libel by the Science and Innovation Secretary, spent £15,000 on food and booze during a single flight for Liz Truss, and blew an additional £33 million by delaying the General Election by two months. The biggest new entry was a whopping £4.7billion to pay for Brexit checks which were introduced at the end of April. 

The Conservative Government’s average annual squander of £26bn since 2019 is 30 times the estimated cost of Lib Dem proposals to boost GP appointments (£800m per year) and more than the total cost of the Green Party’s plan to insulate 10 million homes (£25bn per year). With an estimated price tag of approximately £4.8bn per year, the eye-watering waste of the last five years is enough to fund Keir Starmer’s recently announced six key pledges more than five times over.

Throughout the last parliament, Rishi Sunak held almost total responsibility for government spending as Prime Minister or Chancellor, but this era of Government squander could soon be at an end with pollsmembers.parliament.uk/member/5091/re

Do you know what the £84 m is for £76 Million for border force and will treat People smugglers like Terrorists

Tories have failed to Secure Borders

TORIES HAVE GIVEN 700 M TO RWANDA.

Over the course of six years ministers had intended to spend £10bn on the policy, but they never divulged this figure to parliament.

This didn't cover Food and Board,Admin and Court Costs plus Flights and board of Tory mps. 4 Home Secretaries have been there

Already, about £1.5m has been spent on legal costs for the scheme, and there will be additional costs of setting up an appeals procedure in Rwanda, plus the legal expense of dealing with any further challenges. There is also the cost of sending ministers and officials out to Rwanda

Ministers hiding soaring costs of Rwanda deportation plan, says MP
Committee head says report of £15m being paid on top of £140m already spent shows ‘total disregard’ for parliamentary scrutiny

The Bibby Stockholm costs taxpayers nearly £300,000 a week. So much for cutting bills.

The contract was published under the title “provision of bridging accommodation and travel services” and was for an estimated value of £1,593,535,200 over two years. Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has pledged to end the use of 50 asylum hotels by the end of January.

the daily cost of the barge being docked in Portland and added it to the £2.5million the Home Office is paying to Portland Port, as well as costs given to Dorset council. The party also added on additional costs of approximately £3,500 for every occupied bed which it said would have been incurred on the days that asylum seekers were briefly aboard the Bibby Stockholm, as well as costs for their relocation and medical testing following the discovery of legionella bacteria

…

The barge operators have already recruited over 20 local people to support residents onboard, and there will be further job opportunities in the coming weeks. They are also spending about £1 million a year with local farmers and suppliers for food produce.

The Bibby Stockholm has a medical treatment room

Dorset Council is receiving £1.7m over the planned 18-month duration of the vessel's stay in the port - based on £3,500 per bed space, with a further £377,000 available to fund support and activities for its residents.

The cost of housing asylum seekers in a former RAF base in Lincolnshire could reach £260m by 2026, a leaked government document shows.

Ministers have argued placing asylum seekers on sites like RAF Scampton would be cheaper than using hotels.

But a Home Office memo written just days before plans were announced found the change only represented "marginal" value for money over three years.

LABOUR GOVERNMENT
Border Security Bill will have new powers to enable authorities to treat people smugglers like terrorists

Labour has said that this new border command would operate internationally and be supported by new counter-terrorism style powers. [11] These plans would require legislation, with measures expected to include new powers to enable police to search those suspected of being involved in people smuggling, live monitor their finances and apply for court orders requiring the handover of financial information. [12] Keir Starmer said that legislation to introduce these measures would be passed "very quickly", with a Home Office press release announcing that:

Early legislation is being prepared to introduce new counter terror style powers and stronger measures to tackle organised immigration crime. [13]

Labour's manifesto also explained that the new command would be staffed by "hundreds of new investigators, intelligence officers, and cross-border police officers". [14] Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said that rapid recruitment for a leader of the command would begin on 8 July 2024, with an expectation that the individual would take up their post in the coming weeks.

STAYING ON BENEFITS KEEP KIDS IN POVERTY WELL PAID JOBS WITH GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS FREE CHILDCARE FREE BREAKFAST CLUBS SO PARENTS CAN WORK LONGER HOURS OR GET A JOB.

I AM A QUALIFIED DEBT ADVISER AND HELPED PEOPLE WITH BENEFITS

IM ALSO ON UNIVERSAL CREDIT

Why 2 CHILD CAP AND LIVING ON BENEFITS DOESN'T HELP GET KIDS OUT OF POVERTY

WORKING WITH A GOOD WAGE DOES

FREE CHILDCARE DOES

What has happened to increase poverty?

Lack of Growth in the ECONOMY plus real term wages haven't increased since 2008.

A high cost of living means we all get less to live on.

High Energy bills

High Rent lack of Social housing and Council Houses

Benefits also haven't increased in line with inflation or wage increases. The Income Plantform needs increasing.

I'm on UC and a qualified Debt Adviser

Money taken off your payment UC PAYMENT

Your payments might be reduced if any of the following apply:

you are paying back an advance on a Universal Credit payment

you would get above the amount limited by the benefit cap

you’ve been overpaid benefits in the past

you owe money for Council Tax, court fines, electricity, gas, water or Child Maintenance

you pay your gas or electricity bill directly from your Universal Credit payment

you have a paid job

you have other income – for example, money from pensions or certain other benefits

you have more than £6,000 in money, savings and investments

If you have over £6,000 in money, savings and investments, your payment will be reduced by £4.35 for every £250 you have between £6,000 and £16,000. Another £4.35 is taken off for any remaining amount that is not a complete £250.

PEOPLE ON UC PAY TAX NI THEN

Every £1 you earn from working, your Universal Credit payment goes down by 55p. Your income will be your wages plus your new Universal Credit payment.

Most employers will report your wages for you. You will normally only need to report monthly earnings if you’re self-employed.

Minimum income floor is the earnings around used to work out your benefit. This is applied to self-employed people who claim Universal Credit. If you are self-employed and your earnings are low, your benefit may be worked out on higher earnings than you have. This is called the 'minimum income floor'.
@UKLabour
ARE REFORMING UC and increasing the amount received

There's a shortage of skilled workers such as plumbers,Tilers,
Carpenters electricians builders. Learning a Skilled Trade through Training for unemployed could build the economy very quickly as it increases more tax and NI as soon as people receive their first wages. There's 1000s of jobs that need filling.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth!

@UKLabour want employers paying a Living wage,better working conditions,
cheaper childcare, FREE CHILDCARE for low income Families thats means tested and FREE breakfast clubs for all Children,free school meals for low income families and end the High costs of School Uniforms.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth by paying a decent wage with cheaper childcare and FREE breakfast clubs so parents can go to work earlier or start work .

People paying tax increases the ECONOMY, so more for public services and BENEFITS for those who can't WORK.

Many parents get maternity and paternity leave.


Labour will embrace technological advancements in a way that ensures both workers and our economy benefit. Ensure workers can benefit from flexible working, including opportunities for flexi-time contracts and hours that better accommodate school terms where they are not currently available, by making flexible working the default from day one for all workers, except where it is not reasonably feasible.

Young parents working more hours or start working increases their income considerably than staying on benefits. They pay tax and 6 grows the economy every time they are paid. This is what Labour's plan people with young children to get back to work with support and better wages.

NEW DEAL FOR WORKING PEOPLE BELOW

…

Universal Credit replaces Working Tax Credit and Child tax Credit

UC AMOUNTS PAID

under 25s £489.23
Over 25s. £617. 60

IF PEOPLE WORK FOR 30 HRS On National Minimum Wage, LOOK AT THE BIG DIFFERENCE IN INCOME
WITH A LABOUR GOVERNMENT

EARNINGS ON MINIMUM WAGE

Under 21 £1117.91

OVER 21s earn £1487.08 A MONTH

Which is WORTH PER PERSON £298 in TAX and £132 NI every month, which ADDS UP TO £5160 a Year
TO GROWING THE ECONOMY and contributing to Public services and BENEFITS for those who CAN'T WORK.

All wages and benefits should be
equal as it discriminates against young people. At the moment they are not.

On UC EXTRA MONEY FOR CHILDREN
2 CHILD CAP

1 Child. £333.32
2 Child. £287.92
UP TO END OF EDUCATION

ON UC
CHILDCARE COSTS ARE PAID UP TO 85% OF THE BILL.

30 HOURS OF FREE CHILDCARE.

SO THOSE ON UC CAN GET MORE THAN 30 HOURS FREE CHILDCARE SO THEY CAN EARN HIGHER WAGES.

CHILDCARE BENEFITS ON UC ARE:-

1 CHILD £1014
2 CHILDREN. £1739

IF PARENTS WORK ON UC, THEY WOULD GET THE ABOVE PLUS

FREE BREAKFAST CLUBS SO PARENTS CAN GO TO WORK EARLIER TO INCREASE HOUSEHOLD INCOME
OR START WORK

FREE SCHOOL LUNCHES

HELP TOWARDS SCHOOL UNIFORM

30 HOURS FREE CHILDCARE TO INCREASE HOUSEHOLD INCOME

@UKLabour are reforming UC and keeping in name only. It is not easy to claim as lots of hoops to jump through, and Claiments have to go online

@UKLabour want to get young people back to work, off benefits and out of poverty

@UKLabour will ban exploitative zero hour contracts
Labour will end ‘one sided’ flexibility and ensure all jobs provide a baseline level of security and predictability, banning exploitative zero hours contracts and ensuring everyone has the right to have a contract that reflects the number of hours they regularly work, based on a 12-week reference period.

@UKLabour plan to make work pay will ensure more people stay in work, make work more family-friendly and improve living standards, putting more money in working people’s pockets to spend, boosting economic growth, resilience and conditions for innovation. Stronger trade unions and collective bargaining will be key to tackling problems of insecurity, inequality, discrimination, enforcement and low pay.

Staying on benefits increases a families Poverty . Good jobs take Families out Poverty

THOSE WHO WANT TO SCRAP THE CAP NEED TO UNDERSTAND

@UKLabour WILL GET YOUNG PEOPLE BACK TO WORK WITH GOOD WAGES WITH IMPROVED WORKERS RIGHTS AND OFF BENEFITS.

The next Labour government would go further and make sure the minimum wage is a real living wage that people can live on.

To achieve this, we would change the Low Pay Commission’s remit so that alongside median wages and economic conditions, the minimum wage will for the first time reflect the need for pay to take into account the cost of living.

We will remove the discriminatory age bands to ensure every adult worker benefits, and we will work with the Single Enforcement Body and HMRC and ensure they have the powers necessary to make sure our genuine living wage is properly enforced, including penalties for non-compliance.is.Support

From Israel, Mr Lammy criticised the international allies for failing to realise the threat posed by Hamas ahead of the October 7 bloodshed.

The shadow foreign secretary urged them to “learn the lessons of decades of failure to resolve this conflict”.

He said political leaders have been complacently “content with the delusions of wishful thinking” while failing to work for a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.

Why 2 CHILD CAP AND LIVING ON BENEFITS DOESN'T HELP GET KIDS OUT OF POVERTY

WORKING WITH A GOOD WAGE DOES WITH FREE CHILDCARE DOES

What has happened to increase poverty?

Lack of Growth in the ECONOMY plus real term wages haven't increased since 2008.

A high cost of living means we all get less to live on.

High Energy bills

High Rent lack of Social housing and Council Houses

Benefits also haven't increased in line with inflation or wage increases. The Income Plantform needs increasing.

I'm on UC and a qualified Debt Adviser

Money taken off your payment UC PAYMENT

Your payments might be reduced if any of the following apply:

you are paying back an advance on a Universal Credit payment

you would get above the amount limited by the benefit cap

you’ve been overpaid benefits in the past

you owe money for Council Tax, court fines, electricity, gas, water or Child Maintenance

you pay your gas or electricity bill directly from your Universal Credit payment

you have a paid job

you have other income – for example, money from pensions or certain other benefits

you have more than £6,000 in money, savings and investments

If you have over £6,000 in money, savings and investments, your payment will be reduced by £4.35 for every £250 you have between £6,000 and £16,000. Another £4.35 is taken off for any remaining amount that is not a complete £250.

PEOPLE ON UC PAY TAX NI THEN

Every £1 you earn from working, your Universal Credit payment goes down by 55p. Your income will be your wages plus your new Universal Credit payment.

Most employers will report your wages for you. You will normally only need to report monthly earnings if you’re self-employed.

Minimum income floor is the earnings around used to work out your benefit. This is applied to self-employed people who claim Universal Credit. If you are self-employed and your earnings are low, your benefit may be worked out on higher earnings than you have. This is called the 'minimum income floor'.
@UKLabour
ARE REFORMING UC and increasing the amount received

There's a shortage of skilled workers such as plumbers,Tilers,
Carpenters electricians builders. Learning a Skilled Trade through Training for unemployed could build the economy very quickly as it increases moretaxx and NI as soon as people receive their first wages. There's 1000s of jobs that need filling.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth!

@UKLabour want employers paying a Living wage,better working conditions,
cheaper childcare, FREE CHILDCARE for low income Families thats means tested and FREE breakfast clubs for all Children,free school meals for low income families and end the High costs of School Uniforms.

Low wages and lack of support is why so many people are struggling financially because they can't work because they can't afford Childcare plus there's not enough Nurseries and School Uniform is too expensive.

The UK needs Growth by paying a decent wage with cheaper childcare and FREE breakfast clubs so parents can go to work earlier or start work .

People paying tax increases the ECONOMY, so more for public services and BENEFITS for those who can't WORK.

Many parents get maternity and paternity leave.

Labour will embrace technological advancements in a way that ensures both workers and our economy benefit. Ensure workers can benefit from flexible working, including opportunities for flexi-time contracts and hours that better accommodate school terms where they are not currently available, by making flexible working the default from day one for all workers, except where it is not reasonably feasible.


@HackneyAbbott
@KimJohnsonMP

Young parents working more hours or start working increases their income considerably than staying on benefits. They pay tax and 6 grows the economy every time they are paid. This is what Labour's plan people with young children to get back to work with support and better wages.

NEW DEAL FOR WORKING PEOPLE BELOW

…

Universal Credit replaces Working Tax Credit and Child tax Credit

UC AMOUNTS PAID

under 25s £489.23
Over 25s. £617. 60

IF PEOPLE WORK FOR 30 HRS On National Minimum Wage, LOOK AT THE BIG DIFFERENCE IN INCOME
WITH A LABOUR GOVERNMENT PLUS WORKING PEOPLE GET

EARNINGS ON MINIMUM WAGE

Under 21 £1117.91

OVER 21s earn £1487.08 A MONTH

Which is WORTH PER PERSON £298 in TAX and £132 NI every month, which ADDS UP TO £5160 a Year
TO GROWING THE ECONOMY and contributing to Public services and BENEFITS for those who CAN'T WORK.

All wages and benefits should be
equal as it discriminates against young people. At the moment they are not.

On UC EXTRA MONEY FOR CHILDREN
2 CHILD CAP

1 Child. £333.32
2 Child. £287.92
UP TO END OF EDUCATION

ON UC
CHILDCARE COSTS ARE PAID UP TO 85% OF THE BILL. In addition to 30 HOURS OF FREE CHILDCARE.

SO THOSE ON UC CAN GET MORE THAN 30 HOURS FREE CHILDCARE SO THEY CAN EARN HIGHER WAGES.

CHILDCARE BENEFITS ON UC ARE:-

1 CHILD £1014
2 CHILDREN. £1739

IF PARENTS WORK ON UC, THEY WOULD GET THE ABOVE PLUS

FREE BREAKFAST CLUBS SO PARENTS CAN GO TO WORK EARLIER TO INCREASE HOUSEHOLD INCOME
OR START WORK

FREE SCHOOL LUNCHES

HELP TOWARDS SCHOOL UNIFORM

30 HOURS FREE CHILDCARE TO INCREASE HOUSEHOLD INCOME

@UKLabour are reforming UC and keeping in name only. It is not easy to claim as lots of hoops to jump through, and Claiments have to go online

@UKLabour want to get young people back to work, off benefits and out of poverty

@UKLabour will ban exploitative zero hour contracts
Labour will end ‘one sided’ flexibility and ensure all jobs provide a baseline level of security and predictability, banning exploitative zero hours contracts and ensuring everyone has the right to have a contract that reflects the number of hours they regularly work, based on a 12-week reference period.

@UKLabour plan to make work pay will ensure more people stay in work, make work more family-friendly and improve living standards, putting more money in working people’s pockets to spend, boosting economic growth, resilience and conditions for innovation. Stronger trade unions and collective bargaining will be key to tackling problems of insecurity, inequality, discrimination, enforcement and low pay.

Staying on benefits increases a families Poverty . Good jobs take Families out Poverty

THOSE WHO WANT TO SCRAP THE CAP NEED TO UNDERSTAND

@UKLabour WILL GET YOUNG PEOPLE BACK TO WORK WITH GOOD WAGES WITH IMPROVED WORKERS RIGHTS AND OFF BENEFITS.is.Support

Sub sections missing from the 100s of Labour Policies

1. Free Tuition fees (on hold)KEIR SAID SUPPORT

Students on low income get Grants or Burseries
University should be free for all students, not just the wealthiest

Advocates of the current university tuition fee system in Britain argue it is fair and progressive because only a fraction of students will ever pay the government back in full. Until graduates make more than £25,000, they pay nothing, and thereafter – once in higher-income work – they pay no more than 9% of their salary. Of course, interest continues to accrue, but only around 30% of students will pay back all of their loan.

The problem with the view that tuition fees are progressive is that we only look at those students who take out loans. According to a report published by the Intergenerational Foundation, we now know that at least 10% of the wealthiest students from the UK have their fees paid upfront by their parents. At Oxbridge, the percentage climbs to 16%. This means they avoid accruing the considerable interest paid by their less well-off peers.

School lunches are provided to all low income families Labour will increase the cap and will give

Free Breakfast clubs for all Primary children

Better mental health support for pupils would be part of Labour's plans to improve school attendance in England.

Labour guarantee childcare from the end of parental leave until the end of primary school.

Free Breakfast clubs combined with FREE CHILD CARE for Primary school children so Parents can go to work in Term time
Providing a decent meal to start the day – and a reliable childcare solution – breakfast clubs are now available in most schools. We take a look at how your child could benefit from going along.
As the name suggests, breakfast clubs are before-school clubs for children. They typically open around an hour before school starts, and most are run on school premises, although some take place other venues such as community centres. The are run by specially employed staff, and/or volunteers and Qualified Catering staff

Reform of inheritance tax by closing exemptions

• Ending business relief for inheritance tax, which exempts shares in an unlisted company or a significant interest in a business. This and the farmland reform would raise an estimated £1.5 billion a year.
Scrapping or reducing business asset disposal relief, which allows people who own more than 5 per cent of a company to sell their stake and pay a lower tax rate on their profits.

Keir_Starmer wipes the floor with
RishiSunak every Wednesday.

Keir_Starmer was a highly successful and respected award winning QC and Human Rights lawyer

2001 Keir Starmer won the human rights lawyer of the year award at this week's ceremony organised by Justice and Liberty, and sponsored by the Gazette

Mr Starmer, of Doughty Street Chambers in London, was nominated for his pro bono work on Caribbean death- row cases, his contribution to Human Rights Act training, and his book on the new law.

The Campaign for Freedom of Information won the human rights award - which is for an organisation - for its diligence in campaigning for stronger freedom of information law

He was called to the Bar in 1987 and appointed Queen’s Counsel in 2002. He practised from Doughty Street Chambers since its inception in 1990 and was appointed Head of Chambers in 2007

His main areas of practice were human rights, international law, judicial review, extradition, criminal law, police law and media law

Named as QC of the Year in the field of human rights and public law in 2007 by the Chambers & Partners directory and in 2005 he won the Bar Council’s Sydney Elland Goldsmith award for his outstanding contribution to pro bono work in challenging the death penalty throughout the Caribbean and also in Uganda, Kenya and Malawi

From 2003–08, Starmer was the human rights adviser to the Policing Board in Northern Ireland

He took up his appointment as the Director of Public Prosecutions and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service in November 2008.

Starmer’s CV does contain a prolific mix of top-level advocacy and committed campaign work.

Principally this has taken place in the courtroom.

In the British courts and Strasbourg, Starmer has successfully challenged the Government in a number of landmark human rights cases, on issues such as the admissibility of torture evidence and the control order regime for terrorist suspects.

Further afield, in the Caribbean, he has helped to bring about the elimination of the mandatory death penalty through strategic litigation in domestic courts and the Privy Council.

In the academic sphere, too, he has proven influential, contributing to several publications on human rights and civil liberties, including the authoritative European Human Rights Law, and working for many years on studies which helped underpin the incorporation of the European Convention of Human Rights into UK law.num.org.uk/wp-content/upl
