The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

For 40 years, workers’ share of national income has fallen as union rights eroded—made worse by 14 years of Tory wage stagnation.
Labour’s task is to raise living standards.
The Employment Rights Bill delivers that—let’s defend it and deliver a fairer world of work.

Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.
Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.
