Labour MP Richard Burgon has tabled a parliamentary motion calling for urgent government action to get aid into Gaza and for sanctions against Israeli officials and others blocking it.

Labour wants to *extend* the use of the Wethersfield military base to house ‘asylum seekers’. The Wethersfield site is notorious for crime. 170 reported offences can be mapped to the base, just in the last three years. 97 of them are violent or sexual offences. Emergency workers are abused when they enter. A local medical worker was sexually assaulted by one of the base’s illegal migrants. These people are being housed in luxury conditions. The base is like a holiday camp, with football pitches, gyms, fitness rooms, fresh food and comfortable beds. One resident still complained about the lack of a swimming pool. What has been done to Brits in and around that base, while ‘asylum seekers’ live in luxury, is repulsive. Yet Labour has submitted proposals to extend its use beyond April 2027, and plans to increase its capacity. They do not care about what it does to the people of Essex. They don’t care about what it is doing to the country. Reform will end this madness. We will shut down the asylum system and deport all illegal migrants. We’ll put the British people first.

Labour MPs have expressed regret over voting to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, saying the move has damaged the right to protest after leading to around 4,000 arrests in a year.

Labour’s Treasury Minister admitted she doesn’t think employers are working people. No wonder. The entire Cabinet has less private-sector experience combined than our Shadow Chancellor. They’re no longer the Labour Party. They’re the Welfare Party.
