Tories say migration deals ‘won’t work’ as deterrent
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has argued that migration deals similar to those in Italy will not be effective as a deterrent.
His comments follow official figures showing that over 800 migrants crossed the English Channel in the past week.
Philp acknowledged that prevention deals could be a “constructive step,” but insisted they would not succeed without a proper deterrent, while defending the previous government's Rwanda deportation plan.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp welcomed a 20% drop in net migration to 728,000 but called the figure “far, far too high.” Philp criticised Labour for suspending Conservative policies, including family visa restrictions, and pledged a "hard cap" on migration with a focus on high-skilled workers. He also blamed successive governments for decades of policy failures, promising detailed plans to reduce numbers significantly. Report by Covellm.

Chris Philp has called for different guidelines around non-crime hate incidents. The shadow home secretary warned that officers should not be wasting time and resources by "policing thought". "I would like to see the police concentrating on actual criminality rather than policing thought and the police should only pay attention to things that are not criminal if there is a real and imminent danger and escalation of behaviour," he said.

Ukraine has claimed it is behind a bomb attack that killed a senior Russian general in charge of nuclear protection forces in Moscow on Tuesday. Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, who is chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, was killed outside a block of flats some 7km (4 miles) southeast of the Kremlin. Defence Secretary John Healey said the general was a "bad man" with a proven record of "using chemical weapons against troops on the battlefield."

The government has refused to pay compensation to the millions of women in their 60s who were not properly informed of changes in the state pension age. Work and Pensions secretary Liz Kendall said the "great majority of women knew the state pension age was increasing" and that a state-funded pay-out wouldn't be "fair or value for taxpayers' money'".
