This reckless Tata-Tory bad deal for steel will devastate our local community by exporting well-paid jobs from Port Talbot to India. The alternative Multi-Union Plan - supported by Labour - is a detailed, serious, robust and compelling proposal for the future of our steelworks.

Only the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, with Yvette Cooper, will secure the borders. It's one of the reasons so many former #Conservatives are coming to #Labour . #Dover #Deal #Securetheborders

We've seen 2,400 small boat crossings since Sunak's victory-lap press conference 16 days ago. Sending 1% of asylum seekers to Rwanda is a gimmick, not a deterrent. It'd take 300 years to clear PM's permanent backlog, with asylum seekers living in taxpayer-funded accommodation!

Exclusive: The Home Office has lost track of more than 20,000 failed asylum seekers in Britain over the past five years Almost 10,000 were found to have been lost between January and September, as the Home Office was pushing to fulfil PM's backlog pledge

The CBAM will prevent  heavy-polluters abroad undercutting greener British firms. But India - with carbon-intensive steelmaking - is reportedly lobbying for an exemption. CBAM will unravel unless comprehensive across all countries. The Minister was unable to reassure UK firms.

. @Roy_Rickhuss is absolutely right: Tata’s callous proposals and high-handed approach are completely unacceptable.

It was great to be out in Milton Keynes (Danesborough & Walton ward) campaigning for our outstanding #Labour candidate Rukhsana Malik. Really warm reception for Rukhsana on the doorsteps, and for Labour’s positive and transformative change agenda 👍👍👍

The Tata-Tory bad deal for steel saw the UK Govt hand £500m to Tata, who are making up to *9,500* steelworkers & supply chain contractors redundant. So what conditions did the UK Govt ask Tata to sign up to on preserving jobs, in exchange for £500m? No answer from the Minister:

Experts have confirmed steel job losses could ⬆️ from 2,800 to 9,000, once contractors & supply chains included. Reckless Tory-Tata deal must be dropped, & the multi-union plan adopted. I urge Tata & UK Govt to save these jobs by choosing bridge to the future, not a cliff edge.

Great to visit Margam Castle to hear about exciting plans to renovate parts of the castle. A fascinating building with a rich history & these plans would give it a new lease of life. Delighted to have supported their bid for funding & look forward to seeing this project progress

Workers at #PortTalbot are at risk of redundancy because this government lacks the ambition to back our steel industry, as @UKLabour has pledged to do. The Welsh Secretary has said "no one will be left behind" if jobs are lost. I will hold him to account every step of the way.

2800 steelworkers in Aberavon have given their all to an industry underpinning our economy & security, yet face losing their jobs - as is true of thousands more contractors in supply chain. Welsh Secretary has promised no worker will be left behind. We'll be holding him to this

This latest farce exposes the total lack of grip the Conservatives have over the asylum system and the chaos of their Rwanda policy. Labour has a plan to reverse the Tory collapse in removals with a 1000-officer returns unit and to smash the criminal smuggler gangs.

What the Home Secretary mysteriously fails to mention is that returns of foreign national offenders and failed asylum seekers have fallen by 27% and 44% respectively since Labour left office in 2010....🤨🤔
