Chris Philp says it is "absolutely disgraceful" that Sir Keir Starmer has labelled those "who are raising legitimate concerns" about grooming gangs as "far right".

In a major move, the UK government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer has launched a full-scale crackdown on illegal immigration, drawing comparisons to Donald Trump's controversial immigration policies. With over 600 arrests, a record-breaking number of raids on businesses like Indian restaurants, nail bars, and car washes, and the deportation of nearly 19,000 migrants, this "UK-wide blitz" is intensifying pressure on both employers and illegal workers. The new legislation, set to strengthen border security, promises stricter measures, but opposition critics argue it's not enough to stem the flow of illegal migrants.

The Metropolitan Police cannot dismiss officers by removing their vetting clearance, the High Court has ruled.
The decision comes after Sergeant Lino Di Maria successfully mounted a legal challenge, supported by the Metropolitan Police Federation, after having his vetting removed over sexual assault allegations, which he denies. Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said the ruling on the law "has left policing in a hopeless position".
“We now have no mechanism to rid the Met of officers who were not fit to hold vetting – those who cannot be trusted to work with women, or those who cannot be trusted to enter the homes of vulnerable people.
