Reform UK plan to set up migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas condemned by other parties – UK politics live

Nigel Farage’s party proposed to place detention centres in places that vote for Green council leaders or MPs

On Sky News Mel Stride, the shadow chancellor, has just said that in principle his party welcomes the announcement from Keir Starmer about joining the EU’s €90bn loan for Ukraine. (See 8.40am.) But he would want to see the details, Stride said.

However, his colleague Priti Patel, the shadow foreign secretary, was a lot less happy about the Times report suggesting the UK could end up paying the EU up to £1bn a year for better access to the single market.

In his Times report, Oliver Wright says:

European negotiators have made it clear that paying the cash, expected to amount to about £1bn a year, is a condition of further access to the EU’s single market.
