John must also declare that without a resultant referendum prior to the next General Election, that election will become a de facto referendum.

My goal as Home Secretary is to rebuild the public's confidence and thereby ensure we can continue providing protection to those in need today and for generations to come.

They simply took away rights and treated people badly.

Each one was accompanied by the same round assertions that the Home Secretary has said this afternoon that they would bring fairness to our immigration system, fairness to our asylum system. They did not.

The Home Office website tells us there have been well over 150 pieces of primary legislation or policy changes on immigration since 1988 - and I've been in the House for some of them.

The home secretary has been absolutely clear that this government will take action to see Shabir Ahmed removed, and we’ve seen the success that she has had when it comes to removals in previous cases.

On the subject of deporting foreign criminals, the government intends to bring forward an amendment to this bill in response to the widely-reported case of the vile grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed.

Today is a dark day in our political life, but we must also use it as an opportunity to celebrate Ann Widdecombe's memory. She was a unique figure in our politics, a distinctive and devoted public servant, the likes of whom we will rarely…

Courage of Hillsborough families is humbling - making sure nobody suffers as they did

There is nothing fair about a system that is based upon uncontrolled, unsafe and illegal routes into this country.

I know the thoughts of everyone here are with the victims and survivors of this vile criminal.

The police have cautioned against speculating about the case. That is the right thing to do for Ann’s family and friends.
