yvette cooper attended that concert for free.eportedly, it's believed that the police initially refused to provide an armed guard for the special escort group, which is normally reserved for the royal family and government ministers. this is the same level of protection the home office has refused to provide for prince harry, but this is where it gets really interesting. taylor swift and her mother reportedly threatened to cancel the gigs following a terror threat in vienna. a source says that home secretary yvette cooper then stressed to our police force that it would be embarrassing and economically damaging if swift cancelled, but it has been revealed that the home secretary went for free to a taylor swift concert as a guest of swift's music label, universal music, because her husband, ed balls was given four tickets and she went with him . so she did not went with him. so she did not declare this because apparently the tickets were only worth £170, which is less than the £300 that would make it a declarable interest. and on t

responding to the bbc investigation, home secretary yvette cooper has made the following comments about they have been getting away with it for far too long. that is why since the election we have set up the new border security command 7 to work with partners across europe ?it is only by working with other countries that we will strengthen our border security and tackle this appalling trade in people. this expose the gym connection to the human smuggling trade across the english channel. let's turn to the middle east —and there are reports at least 20 people are dead following an israeli air strike in the southern gaza city of khan younis. meanwhile us secretary of state has met with the jordanian foreign minister ayman safadi in london — the lebanese state media say three journalists have been killed in an israeli air strike in southern lebanon , an act described as a war crime by lebanon's minister of information. the strikes on friday morning reportedly targeted their residence in the town of hasbaya near the border with syria. israel has not commented on the attack but the idf did c

so yvette cooper and hubby ed balls took the £170 wembley freebies from swift's music label universalis does seem like a bit of a i guess conflict of interest is the right word. taking free tickets from universal only to then provide a private police escort for taylor swift. they just love getting free stuff. they really, really like it. they enjoy a freebie . can you really blame freebie. can you really blame him? actually, i think this is sort of this is third tier policing they've introduced. now there's the third tier is taylor swift level policing. >> so yeah why are they all so into taylor swift. i mean she's all right. like you know if they were going to like leonard cohen i know he's dead. but you know something like that. just like do you have to all be such i don't want to say philistines. it is, you know, it's decent pop music du jour. but yeah, i mean, they're all just like, really, it's just it's meant to be the adults back in charge, but they all their favourite singer is basically a teenage girls choice. she has some good songs. don't get me wrong, she's fine. they're a

home secretary yvette cooper says she has been in touch with the french interior minister to increaseborder security . who undermine border security. writing in the

interviewed the then shadow home secretary , now home secretary, secretary, now home secretary, yvette coopere seemed convinced that it was just a little bit of negotiation. that was needed to get illegal migrants deported to the countries from which they came, and that you didn't need a safe third country because all you needed was a tenacious negotiator in government . it negotiator in government. it seems that the lawyers being in charge hasn't really changed anything. >> yes, and i wonder if they're looking at italy and their use now of albania to process asylum claims. i wonder if they'll be looking at that. thinking they'd gone wish they'd gone for something similar. anyway , something similar. anyway, gbnews.com/yoursay is keir starmer a little bit of a hypocrite when it comes to the use of migrant hotels? but let's get the headlines with sam francis. >> tom, emily, thank you very much. just after 1:00, the top story this afternoon. well, the government is now scrambling to find more hotel spaces for migrants after a surge in small boat arrivals. almost 14,000 have now arrived under la

. >> yes, the home secretary, yvette cooper, bet the house really on being able to process asylum seekersy so they could get them out of hotels. what we know that lawyers and human rights groups are expert now at being able to ensure that those they represent at some point, more often than not, get leave to remain in the uk. and sometimes when they get turned down for the first time or even the second time, it goes to appeal and appeal and it can drag on for a while . so they are drag on for a while. so they are learning that the hard way in the new labour government, and not just that, but the other plank, the main plank of the government's small boats policy, is to smash the gangs. and while you can set up a new border security command, as they have done, you can provide more resources to that. taking the fight to these very sophisticated criminal networks that have, you know , tried and that have, you know, tried and tested lines of supply in place and know how to evade law enforcement is a long process that may never actually deliver what the what the government in this country and ot

might yvette cooper develop the same thirst, or is it just very, very different times now?ur culture now. no. >> if you've got people in in jail for crimes, then they will be deported. i mean that the only question there is was 11,000 of them. yeah. the only question there is that the countries that are going to be deported to we have to have an agreement to with go and do that. so the people who have goneis that. so the people who have gone is because of that agreement. and when it comes to the, the, the numbers you're talking about, we won't know the numbers of people who are here unless we have a system like they do in the us , where you they do in the us, where you monitor people leaving the country as well as arriving. >> trevor, final word to you? >> trevor, final word to you? >> well, i think that we are unfortunately not able to blame the labour government for this because this is the legacy of 14 years of tory conservative rule, and they have failed. in fact , and they have failed. in fact, not just failed to cut the numbers, but have presided over the enormous exp

do you remember, by any chance, when yvette cooper said this, fixing the chaos in the asylum system,g the backlog and setting up a new returns unit to get in place of the gimmicks to actually get some grip again, labour are going to clear the backlog and end the use of migrant hotels. well, we currently have a record number of people in that backlog and believe it or not, the oldest case is 17 years old, which means that the chap tried to claim asylum under tony blair, lived through 14 years of the tories and then now hopes this labour government will give him a crack. and yvette cooper has just admitted that she can't end the use of hotels because the backlog is so high, which means we could still be paying for hotels in three years time at a cost of around £4 million a day. a labour source told the times it's going to take a lot longer to clear than we anticipated. yeah, so to summarise, hiv cases are at a 15 year high. more fake child asylum seekers than ever before. loads of migrant hotels for at least another three years. and the backlog is bigger than ever. labour seem to like
