Labour and the Tories opened the floodgates to millions of migrants from across the world. Reform will achieve net negative migration, deport every illegal migrant and reverse this madness. End of.

Has your life improved in the last 100 days? In any way? Have your bills gone down? Do you feel richer? Safer? Has your local community improved at all? For the average person, the answer is a resounding NO. Burnham is making tweaks as broken Britain slides further into terminal decline. Heโ€™s a talker, not a doer. He hasnโ€™t changed the country one bit so far, and isnโ€™t going to. We need fundamental change - and that's what I will bring. In our first 100 days, we will: Put the Royal Navy in the Channel and stop the boats forever. Begin the mass exit of over 1 million people who illegally entered Britain. We will make it impossible to live here illegally, so many will leave voluntarily. But, make no mistake, the deportation of those who donโ€™t will be enforced. We will increase your tax-free personal allowance from ยฃ12,570 to ยฃ15,000 to keep money in your pocket. Weโ€™ll reduce your annual energy bills by ยฃ250. Weโ€™ll charge NO interest on loans for nursing students, lift the cap on medical school places and cut student loan issuance by 20%. If my ministers fail to deliver, I'll sack them. Simple as. The stakes have never been higher. It's time we have a government that acts like it.

Good question from @EllieHodgesxx today at the @reformparty_uk press conf. I think the โ€œBritain is Brokenโ€ slogan has now run its course โŒ As Reform transitions towards a General Election footing, we need a more positive approach. People want to vote FOR something! ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

Reform will raise the VAT threshold to ยฃ150,000 a year and scrap tax on overtime. Small businesses and grafters are the backbone of our economy. Labour are failing them. We will back them.

Who gives a ๐Ÿ’ฉ about Bangladesh?
1 in 20 people in Bangladesh live in extreme poverty, facing multifaceted challenges from rising living costs to the climate crisis and more. In Sylhet, the APPG on Bangladesh met former tea garden workers in the minority Urang community, to learn more about them and @BRACworldโ€™s Ultra Poor Graduation approach. Since 2002, this approach offers a time-bound pathway to agency, dignity and control over resources, for those in poverty so entrenched that they would not benefit from micro finance. A trial by the LSE found 95% of participants continued to improve their living standards when measured 11 years after interventions ended.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Apsara Begum is a UK MP. Due to the huge amounts of post about issues in Bangladesh it is important that her constituents realise she is supposed to be representing them. theyworkforyou.com/mp/25914/apsanโ€ฆ
