MPs will have an opportunity to debate the impact of silica dust exposure in the workplace this week. Eastleigh MP Liz Jarvis called the Westminster Hall debate and has previously proposed legislation on greater prevention and monitoring of silicosis.

EXCL: Sir Keir Starmer tells me the SEND system “isn’t working” and commits to “bringing forward reforms in the new year”. The PM also reveals to ITV News Meridian that the issue of supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities is raised with him more than any other.

NEW: Tunbridge Wells MP Mike Martin is calling for Ofwat to waive its £22m fine for South East Water and replace it with an enforced investment plan. The water regulator proposed the penalty for multiple supply failures in Kent and Sussex from 2020 to 2023. Full story👇 www.itv.com/news/meridia...

NEW: The Labour Party must allow Andy Burnham to stand if a Commons seat becomes available, Folkestone & Hythe MP Tony Vaughan argues. The Labour backbencher tells ITV Meridian's The Last Word it is "really important that there is a contest involving all of the talents".

Dame Sarah Mullally told me it was a "beautiful day" as she set off on her 87 mile pilgrimage from St Paul's to Canterbury. It's the first time a new Archbishop of Canterbury has made the six day journey along the Becket Way ahead of their enthronement.

EXC: Nigel Farage defends Reform-run Kent County Council increasing council tax by 3.99% despite election leaflets last year pledging to “reduce waste and cut your taxes”. Mr Farage told ITV News Meridian: “Cutting taxes can be not putting them up as much, I suppose.”

Engineered stone or quartz can contain up to 95% silica, according to Dr Jo Feary. The consultant at the Royal Brompton Hospital says the risk of silicosis is to "people who are cutting, grinding and polishing these products over several months and years".

The new Reform UK leader of Kent County Council defends the removal of Ukraine’s flag from the council chamber. Cllr Linden Kemkaran tells me: “I don’t think most Ukrainians will have noticed the flag was there in the first place”.

Protests were held outside County Hall in Lewes today, by those opposed to a potential delay to East Sussex County Council elections under devolution plans. Lib Dem MP, James MacCleary, says it's an attempt to delay judgement on the Conservative’s council record.

Sussex PCC Katy Bourne welcomes government pledge to change police guidance to give stalking victims the right to know the identity of their stalker at the earliest opportunity.

In the history section on ICE’s website, one line reads: “Despite U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's relatively young age, its functional history predates the modern birth of the agency by more than 200 years.” We know that ICE was created in 2003. So what exactly do they mean by that?

🚨 DELANEY AFTER DARK: ICE CHAOS AFTER MIDNIGHT 🚨 As Day 6 of the Delaney Hall hunger/labor strike began, @JonFarinaPhoto captured ICE agents shoving protesters into the street, deploying pepper spray at close range, and one agent appearing to strike a protester’s leg with a baton.

Q: Was fraud found or lower standards used to verify the Forever Canada petition than others? A: No. Elections Alberta’s verification process is robust and standardized, applied to all petitions unless there are indications of fraud found. Any suggestions to the contrary are disinformation.
