Cooper argues that asylum seekers transported from hotels can be placed in warehouses
Yvette cooperInterior minister, warehouses can be used to host some asylum seekers currently placed in hotels, he said.
The government has repeatedly said that at the end of this parliament, she wanted to stop the use of hotel for asylum seekers, but the ministers did not give details about which reserve houses could be used.
In an interview with LBC this morning, he asked which alternative accommodation can be used, Cooper said:
I think this is a mixture of things. First of all, you have to reduce the entire asylum system. Therefore, in fact, less people in the asylum system should be less people and less people need to accommodate. It must be at the center. It was allowed to expand from control.
And then, yes, we want to see more suitable sites, including alternative sites, military and industrial areas, including looking at.
Cooper, who asked what he meant with “Industrial Sites”, said that his home office would provide more details in time. When it is a server, Nick FerrariHe repeated to say that this could be placed in the warehouses of asylum seekers, Cooper He finally replied:
This is one of the things. However, we will provide updates when we have practical plans.
Cooper also said that he did not want to announce the measures before knowing whether he could deliver them, because he was “the previous government did”.
KEY EVENTS
Green is going.
Harriet Lamb, The party’s CEO is now talking.
He says they don’t just announce a new leader or leaders. There were elections A lot of party positions.
(The Greens take their internal democracies more seriously than other England parties.)
Green Party will announce the results of the leadership elections
The Green Party is about to announce the results of the leadership elections.
There is a live feed here.
Returning to the mini -break and it is widely interpreted by Keir Starmer as an attempt to hold onto the treasury (see 9.22), The Times’s Patrick Maguire He argued that the opposite could be like this. Inside Today Analysissays:
It was assumed that the delayed arrival of two economists in the Downing Street and a treasury minister was an attack on Reeves. Another theory within the government continued on Monday. In fact, is this the reversal of the Prime Ministry by Chancellor?
This would be exaggerated, but for a long time in Private Reeves, no 10 in the policy operation and the absence of any serious economic brain. Another question is whether there is a significant change in the direction. There was a job advisor Varun Chandra, who was chosen to get praise for Starmer’s staff, and now a “heavy team” will be given to support his work.
Maguire also points to the point that a restructuring does not replace political leadership.
Most of the changes, at least not an appointment [Darren Jones, the new chief secretary to the PM]It is definitely a implicit acceptance of those who complain [Morgan McSweeney, the PM’s chief of staff] It is very finely spread to the government. However, in some departments, confusion continues to prevail. Ik We were trying to draw the organogram of this new team, dedi he said, an uncertain hierarchy. “Five minutes of uncertain meaning. Then we asked: What happens if these people do not agree with each other? Morgan will invalidate Darren? [Allan, the new executive director of government communications] He wants to announce something and isn’t Darren? “
The obvious answer to this problem is that the Prime Minister should clarify his own preference. It is a long, repetitive and painful process of drawing a “justice” philosophy to call Starmer to call his own drag to the Labor Party conference at the end of this month. It is not more comfortable than speeches about the process. What the new team needs now is some politics. He can only do this.

Cooper reduces the risk of voting voting of the French Government with the UK
In an interview with Sky News this morning Yvette cooperThe Interior Minister refused to guarantee that immigrants would definitely be sent back throughout the channel this month as part of a return agreement with France.
Cooper, who wants the exact date of the first refunds, said, “This month will be later.” He replied.
When asked that the French government’s risk of overturning in a game of confidence could examine the agreement, Cooper insisted that England will “continue to work with France.”
It was published for a warranty that the refunds will take place:
We expect the first returns to take place this month. But from the very beginning, this is a pilot scheme and it has to accumulate over time.
Courses that will warn foreign students in the home office make asylum claims at the end of the expansion of accommodation in the UK
In interviews this morning Yvette cooperThe Minister of the Interior confirmed that the government would contact international students and that they would be removed if they exceed their visas. The Ministry of the Interior is concerned about the number that comes to the UK legally for student visas but requesting asylum when they are intended to return home later.
In accordance with To BBCShort messages and e -mails will be sent to students:
If you send a claim that does not contain merit, it will be rejected quickly and firmly.
Any asylum support request will be evaluated against poverty criteria. If you do not meet the criteria, you will not receive support.
If you do not have a legal right to stay in the UK, you should leave. If you don’t, we’il remove you.
In an interview with BBC Breakfast this morning, Cooper said that together with international students, there was a problem that claims asylum as a “asylum in their own countries”.
Continued:
If nothing has changed in their countries, people should not request asylum at the end of a student class. We need to compress this, and that’s why we send these messages to people very clearly – the shelter system is not just for people who want to extend their visas.
Cooper rejected Reeves’ allegations that he was restricted on economic policy with 10 mini-crying
Good morning. Kemi Badenoch has a great speech this morning (albeit one), the Greens are announced the results of the leadership competition, but it is still focusing on what is happening in the Downing Street, where Keir Starmer will chair the first cabinet to participate in the new role as the lead secretary of PM. Like Pippa Crerar And Jessica Elgot Starmer’s mini-shrinkage, which is a report in the leap of Guardian, is seen as an attempt to önleme return the control of economic policy from the treasury ”.
Other articles presented a more ruthless introduction and wrote it as Rachel Reeves, a chancellor.
This morning Yvette cooperInterior minister is visiting studios. Mostly interviews focused on the asylum system (more soon), but the Downing Street Shake-up was also asked. He asked Sky News that Reeves were thrown, Cooper replied:
I don’t think at all. The opposite. I think the Prime Minister and Chancellor have always worked very closely and continues to do so.
Minauche Shafik, who is now a heavy economic consultant in 10, which will take over the Treasury toes at 10, means that Minauche Shafik, a former governor of Reeves and a former governor of the Bank of England.
When asked if none of the 10 of the restructuring would have entered the budget this year more than last year, Cooper answered:
According to my experiences, through the successive chances, ultimately, the chancellor always writes the budget, because the nature of the complex mixture of these things, but you always get this powerful support with negotiations and discussions with the Prime Minister.
(More accurate answer ‘Yes, of course, the whole issue’ – as explained in the stories of Pippa and Jess.)
Of course, you expect Cooper to answer like this. But Reeves will probably meet what he says. And Reeves needs good news. Like Graeme Gearden Reports, long -term government borrowing costs have reached the highest levels for 27 years.
