WATCH: David Lammy assures 'every decision' made by Labour is based on 'public safety'

Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has told MPs that every decision made by the Government is based on public safety, as he is grilled by Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly on the early release of dangerous criminals, including grooming gang perpetrators.Mr Lammy told the Commons: He asks about a very serious issue, and every decision we have taken has been based on public safety in delivering justice for victims. Let's talk about the context.The last Labour Government built 28,000 prison places. We're building 14,000 by 2031. We've already delivered 3,200 under the Tories. They closed 23 prisons. Gloucester, closed. Shrewsbury, closed. Portsmouth, closed. Holloway, closed. Northallerton, closed. What are they now? A block of flats. That's why we have to have an early release scheme. That's why we passed the Sentencing Act. And we're putting community powers locally to make sure that we protect the public.WATCH ABOVE. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Reform UK MP Suella Braverman has hailed the noble act by Nigel Farage after resigning as MP for Clacton.Speaking to GB News, Ms Braverman said: I think it's a very noble act that Nigel has done today, which is, let's put it to the people, let's see what they think, and let's see if the establishment is actually serving the interests of the British people.They're being let down now by the failures of the Labour Party, who are chopping and changing prime ministers without any kind of consideration for what the British people have asked for. This is about asking the people, that's who all MPs are fundamentally answerable to.WATCH ABOVE. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Farley savaged after backing a fuel tax credit cut

Former NSW Labor treasurer Michael Costa rejects One Nation MP David Farley’s explanation for backing a fuel tax credit cut, arguing he should have known exactly what he was voting for. One Nation MP David Farley voted with the Greens and Teals to cut a fuel tax credit used by miners and farmers and give the money to renewable projects instead. Farley has now publicly apologised, saying he made a mistake. He's a rookie who still has no staff, and Barnaby Joyce is off in London, so he couldn't tell him what was going on. “I don’t accept that excuse from Farley … he’s not naive enough not to know what the diesel fuel excise is all about,” Mr Costa told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The problem with One Nation is it attracts people who can’t find a home somewhere else, particularly opportunists.”
