Labour Tackles Reform, Focuses on Jobs and Immigration

Labour's conference is dominated by its response to the Reform party's immigration policies. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood warned against Reform's "false promises," while Nigel Farage criticized the PM's "racist" label. Labour is considering a "good citizen test" for immigration and offering paid work placements for youth unemployment, with benefits contingent on participation. Separately, reports highlight councils spending £950 daily on transporting special needs pupils, a cost that has doubled to over £2 billion.
