A group of Labour MPs has urged the government to extend a scheme allowing Palestinian students to study in the UK.

They told PoliticsHome that they know of students in Gaza who have been offered places at UK universities, but have been unable to leave the region. The scheme is due to close at the end of this month.

“We will confirm the future of the scheme in due course, and we are actively looking at solutions to support the outstanding students to arrive," a government spokesperson told Tom Scotson.

Labour MPs are urging the government to extend a scheme allowing Palestinian students to come and study in the UK.

What does Andrea Egan's historic victory mean for Keir Starmer and Labour?

The new general secretary of Unison is a strong critic of the Starmer government, criticising the PM, Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting. Ominously for the government, she has also said she'll make the country's largest union less nervous about going on strike.

She has pledged to review the union's relationship with Labour, which could include donations to the party worth millions. However, internal dynamics mean ending affiliation is far from straightforward, writes Sienna Rodgers.
