Over 11,700 foreign offenders removed. Channel boat arrivals DOWN. Illegal working enforcement UP. We inherited a broken asylum system. We’re determined to fix it. Below, I answer a couple of questions in the Commons Chamber today on the action we’re taking.

I just remembered that a shadow chancellor pulled out Mao’s Little Red Book at the dispatch box, quoted form it approvingly, then tossed it at the Chancellor. Feels like I dreamed it. But that actually happened, right?

Been critical of Burnham, but, as Tim notes, this is excellent Politician on a Train work.
Not a bad entry in the “Politicians on a Train” series from @thetimes

PM Andy Burnham will host a rough sleeping summit today with experts from the homelessness sector. Will they get “everyone in” from the streets by Christmas? Frontline workers tell me they’re really pleased with the sentiment and energy Burnham has put behind it but think it unlikely. Torrential rain over the weekend is a reminder of how bleak being exposed to the elements on the street can be. But do we have the housing for thousands of people?

Think @FraserNelson might be on to something in yesterdays Times. The louder members of this government are the more inconsequential they are. Or rather the most consequential members - Mahmood, McFadden, Healey - are the quietest but the ones with the biggest decisions to make…

🎄The entries are in!🎄 I've now received all the Christmas cards from our wonderful local primary schools for my annual Christmas card competition. As with every year, I have a feeling choosing a winner is going to be very difficult! (1/2)

We went on Holiday around 1963 or so to a place called Lifton in Devon (maybe earlier … though I can remember quite a lot of it) I am pretty sure Ambrosia were based nearby … this is the car we went in … I think it took about 12 hours to get there !! As many followers will know … I still have the car

When Tony Blair did “Little Ant and Dec” just before the 2005 General Election I was really worried it might go wrong (as we he!) Well done to the teams working with @andyburnham & @KensingtonRoyal for having the courage to put their principals where people watch.

A serious subject. 👍🏻 I've a garage stash of mon perishable items big enough to see me thru to about 2050... 😋 But thought I'd just share this. Ingenious. Simply add water and they self heat. Taste good too. Not a patch on a Frey Bentos Kate & Sidney but in the event of a power/gas outage... piping hot! 😉
