Mahmood’s ICE-style immigration raid agency accused of ‘fishing expeditions’
Exclusive: Almost two-thirds of visits lead to no arrests and nearly three-quarters are conducted without a warrant Shabana Mahmood’s ICE-style raid agency has been accused of engaging in “fishing expeditions” after figures disclosed that almost two-thirds of enforcement visits result in no arrests and nearly three-quarters are conducted without a warrant. The home secretary has hailed the expanded use of immigration enforcement teams, and claimed they will help to secure the UK’s borders by removing a key incentive for irregular migration. There were 23,538 immigration enforcement engagements such as workplace raids, home raids and spot checks in 2025 – or 60 a day. Of these, 15,578, or 66.1%, resulted in no arrests. Only 25.81% of visits where a premises was accessed used a warrant. Critics say this suggests the Home Office is launching “fishing expeditions” based on weak intelligence.

Revealed: Palantir lobbied minister to stretch AI tools’ reach to NHS GP records
Exclusive: WhatsApp messages show firm pressuring Zubir Ahmed MP to help bring sensitive data into its platform UK politics live – latest updates Palantir lobbied a health minister to consider extending its AI technology into GP records, stretching its reach into the NHS in a way doctors fear could undermine trust with patients. The US company, co-founded by the Trump-supporting billionaire Peter Thiel, used a direct WhatsApp channel to argue that “the logic of joining up primary and secondary [care] data is unarguable” and said its software was “ideal” for the job. The push came in February this year despite GP data being expressly ruled out of the scope of Palantir’s existing £330m contract with NHS England to run its federated data platform (FDP), which it says has helped cut surgery waiting times and discharge delays.

Burnham warns that NHS will ‘struggle’ to cope if consultants don’t resume talks over pay – as it happened
Hospital consultants are set to go on a two-day strike at the end of October Downing Street has insisted that the government remains committed to the principle of the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate – while not denying today’s Guardian report saying interim targets to achieve it are set to be watered down. (See 9.26am .) Asked about the story at the daily lobby briefing, the PM’s spokesperson said: The government is fully behind the zero emission vehicle mandate, and no decisions have been taken yet. We’re sticking to our commitment, phasing out new cars that run only on petrol or diesel by 2030, every new car and van will be zero emission by 2035, and our legally binding net zero targets. None of that is changing. Continue reading...
