"Today's #GDP growth figures are still a long way from @Keir_Starmer's target of 2.5% and it is far from clear that we are heading in the right direction."

"Labour are promising to be the fastest-growing country in the G7. And our growth forecast is 2% or less every single year of this parliament? Yeah, good luck with that."

"The economy is expected to grow by just over 1 per cent this year, rising to 2 per cent in 2025."

Research shows that "deep alignment with the EU on goods and services will deliver 2.2% economic growth to the UK."

"Closer ties with the EU could deliver growth of up to 2.2%. Clawing back up to half the damage caused by Brexit."

"Starmer has no intention of stopping the boats."

Starmer's "track record, Labour's track record, the Home Secretary's track record and their actions here in Britain suggest there is no desire, or plan, to actually stop the boats."

"The boats will come, and numbers are likely to continue rising."

Starmer is "on track to smash the record for small boat crossings, with numbers up 44%."

"Labour has no intention of doing this [reducing small boat crossings], and Martin Hewitt is the perfect example of their lack of action."

"It [small boat crossings] is 38% worse than the previous worst year, so things are getting worse, not better."

"It [reduction in small boat crossings] can be done if there's the political will."

"[W]e will stop at nothing to dismantle their [people-smuggling gangs] business models [illegal small boat crossings] and bring them to justice."

Will Labour Reduce Small Boat Crossings in the English Channel?

Former Labour health secretary Alan Milburn, who led the review, said the crisis reflects "a failure of a system stuck in the past" and that education, health and welfare systems are "no longer fit for purpose."

The review found that for every £1 spent on employment support for young people in 2024-25, around £25 was spent on benefits, which it described as a "fundamental imbalance in how public money is spent."

A survey conducted for the review found 84% of Neets said they wanted a job or training, challenging the narrative that young people are unwilling to work. Six in 10 Neets have never held a job, up from four in 10 two decades ago.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden, who commissioned the review, announced plans for 300,000 extra work experience placements over three years. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately said Labour policies had "made it harder for a young person to take their first step into work."
