‘Quite the reverse’, says home secretary, amid reports Starmer’s reorganisation is aimed at freezing chancellor out ahead of autumn budgetIn an interview with Sky News this morning Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, declined to guarantee that migrants will definitely be sent back across the channel this month as part of a returns agreement with France.Asked for the exact date of the first returns, Cooper replied: “It will be later this month.”We expect the first returns to take place this month. But I’ve always said from the very beginning on this, it’s a pilot scheme and it needs to build up over time.If you submit an asylum claim that lacks merit, it will be swiftly and robustly refused.Any request for asylum support will be assessed against destitution criteria. If you do not meet the criteria, you will not receive support.If nothing has changed in their country, people should not be claiming asylum at the end of a student course.

2 h. ago My husband has erectile dysfunction. Is it because of his porn addiction?

He struggles to maintain an erection and I feel worthless as his partner. I wonder whether there’s a way back for usWhen we first met, 12 years ago, my husband and I didn’t waste any time in starting the sexual part of our relationship.
