Spoke to LBC news earlier about Starmer's PR stunt in Albania today. It shows that, yet again, this government is failing to grasp the complexities of trafficking, and asylum, and instead is focusing on measures which actively make things worse for everyone.

The lesson from the India trade deal is that, in the face of complex trade-offs, the government will need to find compromise if it wants to deepen its economic and strategic relationships. 🖊️ @marleymorris.bsky.social writes for @lbc.co.uk 👇 www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

It's a tricky compromise but Starmer's India trade deal is a post-Brexit win
After three years of negotiation, the UK has clinched a significant post-Brexit win – a trade deal with India, the fifth largest economy in the world.

Doing the rounds of BBC local radio discussing Labour's plan to publish nationality "league tables" of foreign offenders. Put simply, there are absolutely no benefits to it, but the risks are huge. Inevitably it feeds far right narrative, leads to hostility against nationalities and embeds division.

Using "league tables" to link immigration with crime isn't about safety - it's about scapegoating. It stokes fear, not facts. Our director @ravsrm.bsky.social breaks down why this dangerous rhetoric must be challenged. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...
