Two other bills have been back in the Commons tonight to consider Lords amendments.

The Planning and Infrastructure Bill has had a very small amendment made and passed without vote. Hopefully now just a small formality for the Lords to agree before it goes for Royal Assent.

Mone is under a long running investigation by the National Crime Agency, along with others.

If a criminal conviction can be brought, they will be the ones to do it, however long it takes to get the water tight case.

Sky News: You just said you don't want to leave any 'stone unturned'. Those words were used by Sajid Javid in 2018 when he ordered what you are calling for. Are you saying you failed and did leave 'stones unturned' when you were in government?

Russian Foreign Ministry: “The conflict between the United States and Venezuela threatens unpredictable consequences for the Western Hemisphere.

“Russia hopes that Washington will not “slide” into such a scenario.”

I see they’re getting the hang of the Trump quotation marks.

Today is one of those days I am so grateful we have Sir Keir Starmer as our PM.

He is leading the world in supporting Ukraine.

A tough scenario for all involved and I can think of no one better right now to be our leader.

You can be certain that the day there are more boats (and it will happen, and likely with a lot all at once) it will become headline news again!

Doesn’t fit their narrative that the Labour government is failing to prevent the small boats. They’ll just stick their fingers in their ears and go ‘la la la’!

It is also the lowest average since 13th Jan 2025.

The 60-day averages are also showing considerable downward trends, being much lower than any other year except for 2023.

The 90-day averages are continuing their steady downward trends.

But no mention of this in the media at all! Why?

It is now 23 days since the last small boat successfully cross the English Channel.

In the last 4 weeks there have only been 3 boats and 217 people.

This the longest period without any boats since the 8th Jan 2024.

The 28-day average is now by far the lowest seen at this time of year.
