Economic crime poses a threat to our country’s national security, our institutions, our economy. Failure to act allows criminals to benefit from proceeds of crime & fund criminality including organised crime groups, terrorist activity, drug dealing and people trafficking.

The House of Lords has tonight rejected the government’s reckless plan to drop nutrient neutrality river protections. Time for ministers to get round the table and agree a solution that builds the homes we so desperately need without damaging our precious natural environment.

The #HorizonEurope saga drags on and on. Today Team Sunak was visibly shaken in the House of Commons as his dithering was exposed. Watch to the end for the emptiest of answers.

Thank you NHS for saving my life as a baby, straightening my squint, removing my appendix, delivering two wonderful children, rushing to me when I had anaphylactic shock, for mending children, for caring for mum, sisters and our children. Free at point of need. Happy Birthday

NEW: BP has just posted one of the largest first-quarter profits in its history. Yet the Tories refuse to bring in a proper windfall tax on oil and gas giants to freeze council tax this year. Labour will always stand with working people. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
