🚨🇬🇧 Andy Burnham has vowed to be "relentless" in tackling small boat crossings, insisting his government is changing its approach to border security. 👀

The Prime Minister says enforcement against people-smuggling gangs has been stepped up on both sides of the Channel, while also arguing that safe and legal routes are needed to reduce the gangs' influence.

With immigration remaining one of Britain's biggest political issues, Burnham says the priority is to "deal with the issue rather than play politics with it."

Do you think Labour's approach will reduce illegal Channel crossings, or is a tougher strategy still needed? 🤔👇

🎓🇬🇧 “It’s about ambition for everybody.”

Education Secretary Lucy Powell has defended Labour’s push to give vocational and technical skills the same status as academic qualifications, insisting it’s not about lowering standards but creating more opportunities for every young person. 👀

Powell says schools should be able to deliver both academic excellence and high-quality vocational training, arguing that too many young people have been left behind by the current system.

Do you think Britain should place equal value on vocational skills and university education, or should schools keep a stronger focus on traditional academic routes? 🤔👇

🚨🇬🇧 Some EU citizens are being told they could lose their right to remain in the UK after the Home Office said their post-Brexit residency status was granted "in error." 👀

For some, the decision comes years after they built lives in Britain, with concerns over jobs, housing and legal residency now hanging in the balance.

Campaign groups warn the move could affect many families and have questioned whether the policy is compatible with the UK's Brexit withdrawal agreement. The Home Office says affected individuals have opportunities to provide further evidence or appeal.

Should people who were granted residency years ago be allowed to keep it, or should the rules be strictly enforced if mistakes were made? 🤔👇

🚨🇬🇧 Has Nigel Farage gone unusually quiet? 👀

After dominating headlines for months, the Reform UK leader has kept a much lower profile since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister. Recent polls show Reform still leading, but Labour has narrowed the gap, while Farage's personal approval ratings have slipped.

Critics say he's avoiding scrutiny over ongoing questions about party finances and donations. Reform insists it's simply waiting for the right moment to make major announcements and says Farage will become more visible again later this month.

Is Nigel Farage strategically staying out of the spotlight... or is Reform starting to lose momentum? 🤔👇
