Ecuador’s election wasn’t free — and its people will pay the price under President Noboa
Time for a fairer, humane immigration system
Tory policies of pursuing net migration targets has undermined our economy and our public services. Labour will end the ‘hostile environment’ writes DIANE ABBOTT

FALSE attacks from the Tories on Labour last week on the issue of immigration showed that dog whistle anti-migrant nonsense is still very much the Tories’ fall-back position under Boris Johnson.
Yet the truth is that the Conservatives’ own immigration policy is a toxic mess. They are tying themselves in knots, using dog-whistle anti-migrant rhetoric but yet being forced under scrutiny to accept that we need migrant workers for key sectors such as the NHS.
With the “Windrush Generation” scandal, they deported our own citizens and this continues to create new victims.
