The home secretary says "new and serious patterns" have emerged in illegal migration, causing "major challenges" for national security. Yvette Cooper adds that smuggling gangs are using drones "to spot where the border patrols are". But she adds that it is "governments, not gangs" that should decide who enters the country.

Robert Jenrick says the justice secretary's decision to override independent guidance on how ethnic minorities should be sentenced is "unfair" and "discriminatory". The shadow justice secretary adds, "she has failed totally in her duty to uphold the rule of law". He adds "two-tier sentencing" is "biased" against men, white people and Christians.
