I worked for Frank in his Parliamentary office in 2017 and 2018 before I started my PhD. He was a truly unique MP who changed me for the better. We had very different politics, but he always listened to me. He will be missed by very many people.
Statement from Lord Field of Birkenhead’s family issued by his Parliamentary office:
@ColinYeo1 @richg780 I would imagine one of the future problems will be the question of how to deal with the migrants who have disappeared into the informal "black" economy. Given exploitation risk, will some form of amnesty be considered?
@ColinYeo1 I sat there for a full day with an elderly witness in a packed room the day before Lockdown 1.
@ColinYeo1 The words piss-up and brewery come to mind.
Immigration: what should Labour do? My essay for @SMFthinktank argues (sharply) falling legal migration over next few years, combined with public opinion that is more positive (especially for work/study migration) offers an opportunity for a more constructive approach (1/12?)
I finished the @LondonMarathon with a new personal best, ran almost all of it this time and raised money for Bristol Refugee Rights. Didn't manage the time I was aiming for (good first half, tricky second) but spent a day loving London, running and some of my favourite music.
@ColinYeo1 @SoniaL77 They seemed concerned I did not realise that London was a big place...(I'd worn shoes and everything!)
@SoniaL77 @ColinYeo1 Swansea Coventry Swansea Barry Swansea Aberystwyth Swansea Aberystwyth Treharris/Quakers Yard (between Merthyr Tydfil and Pontypridd) (fun fact - at an interview for a well known London immigration firm, the point was made repeatedly that I had not lived outside of Wales.)

Great breakdown by @ColinYeo1 on yesterday’s reporting that the EU are considering a proposal for youth mobility between the UK and EU buff.ly/3UmbEI0
Well worth a read
I put something together on the EU's proposed youth mobility deal. No idea how negotiable the proposals are but it's not hard to see lots of potential sticking points. open.substack.com/pub/wewantedwo…
