📉 The evidence is clear: Labour’s policy on immigration is working.

Since taking office in 2024, net migration has CRASHED, as this graph from The Times and The Sunday Times shows.

🚤 Migrant crossings are down 40% year on year, with 9,142 arrivals so far this year compared to 15,212 over the same period last year.

🇬🇧 🇫🇷 And following our agreement with France, interception rates have also improved, with French authorities stopping nearly two-thirds (65%) of migrant boats bound for the UK last month.

Labour is fixing our broken immigration system, making it fairer and stronger.

CALLING FOR A 'NEIGHBOURHOOD SPENDING LOCK'

Alongside 3 fellow Labour MPs - each of us from a different region of England- I am calling for a new approach to public spending that guarantees the most disadvantaged communities receive their fair share of investment.

The success of the Pride in Place programme is already showing what can be achieved when communities are given the resources and support they need to thrive. But too often, investment depends on short-term funding rounds and political decisions.

We're calling for a Neighbourhood Spending Lock: a long-term commitment to ensure that the communities facing the greatest challenges are guaranteed sustained investment in jobs, public services, and the local organisations and facilities that bring people together.

If we are serious about tackling inequality and restoring pride in our communities, we need a funding model that matches that ambition.
