Worries about immigration are 'manufactured panic' says charity as poll shows issue not a local concern – UK politics live

Here's a summary of the news articles:

* Prince Andrew has been stripped of his titles, including Duke of York and Earl of Inverness, after Buckingham Palace announced that he would no longer use these titles.
* The decision was made on the advice of King Charles, who said it was a "very powerful message" to the victims of abuse and grooming.
* Labour MP Rachael Maskell had introduced a private member's bill to remove titles from peers or others with titles, but it has no chance of becoming law as there is no time allocated for debate.
* Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been criticized for not having the required licence for her family home in Dulwich, which she rented out without proper permission.
* The royal prerogative on ministerial advice allows ministers to remove titles from peers, including dukes like Andrew.

Some politicians have reacted to the decision to strip Prince Andrew of his titles:

* Lisa Nandy said she "really supports" the step taken by King Charles and described it as a "very powerful message".
* Chris Bryant said he "warmly supports" what the king is doing and suggested that Andrew should go to the US to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
* Kemi Badenoch described the decision as a "sad state of affairs" but said the public expects high standards of integrity from those in power.

The Commons is not sitting today, but there are other politics happening, including debates on Ukraine in the Lords and the Rachel Reeves rental licence story winding up.
 
🤦‍♂️ I mean, I think it's about time someone took action against Prince Andrew. He's been dodging questions about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein for ages and now he's being stripped of his titles. I don't really care what happens to him personally but it's a step in the right direction. King Charles is doing what needs to be done. 💯
 
Dude 🤔, I'm actually surprised they finally took action on Prince Andrew's titles thing. I mean, it's about time something was done about that Epstein scandal... 🙅‍♂️. The king's got some balls for doing this, especially since it's not like he's going to get a chance to appeal or anything (lol). On the other hand, can we talk about Rachel Reeves and her rental licence situation? Like, what's up with that?! 😱 Didn't she know you need a license to rent out your house in the UK? It's crazy how some people just don't follow the rules. And btw, Lisa Nandy's support for this decision is pretty cool... 👏
 
Can't say I'm surprised about Prince Andrew losing his titles 🤷‍♂️...he was always a bit of a lost cause 🚫. But what's really got me is Chancellor Reeves renting out her home without permission 📝...that's just basic common sense. Should be a wake-up call for all politicians to get their houses in order 💸.
 
I gotta say, I'm loving how King Charles is using his powers to send a message about abuse and grooming... it's like he's saying 'enough is enough' 🙌. And I'm curious to know what's going on with Chancellor Reeves' rental licence situation - shouldn't she have gotten that sorted out ages ago? 🤔. Anyway, I think it's awesome that some politicians are speaking out about holding people in power accountable for their actions. Chris Bryant's suggestion that Prince Andrew should answer questions about his past is a good one... maybe he can do some damage control while he's at it 😬.
 
I feel kinda meh about Prince Andrew losing his titles 🤔... like, I get it, he's done some shady stuff and it's about time someone took a stand 🌟. But at the same time, can't we just have a proper debate about it in Parliament instead of relying on royal prerogative? 🤷‍♀️ It's like, one rule for us, but not for them 🙄. And what's with all the criticism of Chancellor Reeves over her rental licence? Like, isn't that just common-sense stuff? 🤔 Just saying, let's focus on more pressing issues... like how to help people struggling with mental health or something 💖. Anyway, I do love how some politicians are speaking out about integrity and accountability - now that's what we need more of in politics! 💪
 
🤔 Prince Andrew thought he was above the law? The fact that his titles have been stripped is a good reminder to everyone that you can't just buy your way out of accountability 🤑. Not sure what's more cringeworthy, him trying to cling to his old titles or Lisa Nandy's over-the-top support for it 👑💁‍♀️. At least Kemi Badenoch has some sense and called out the hypocrisy 👊
 
🤔 so i think its pretty cool that king charles is finally taking a stand against prince andrew's dodgy past... it shows that even with all his connections, hes not above accountability. 💁‍♂️ like, we should all expect more from our leaders, you know? 🙏

i also feel bad for rachael maskell who introduced the private member's bill to remove titles from people like andrew, but its not like her effort is going to change anything right now 🤷‍♀️. and whats up with chancellor reeves not having a licence for her family home? didnt she learn from all those other politicians who got caught out doing similar things? 😒

anyway, gotta love that lisa nandy and chris bryant are supporting king charles on this one 👏 its about time someone in power stood up for what's right. and kemi badenoch might be a bit harsh with her words, but i guess you can't just roll over when youre in the public eye 🙄
 
Just saw that Prince Andrew's titles have been taken away 🤔... feels like justice has finally been served for all the Epstein victims. I mean, it's a huge message from King Charles - if you do some messed stuff, there are consequences! 👑 As for Lisa Nandy supporting this decision, yaaas girl, it's about time someone took a stand 💁‍♀️. And Chris Bryant suggesting Andrew goes to face questions in the US? More of that please 🗣️... Kemi Badenoch saying it's a sad state of affairs but not holding anyone accountable is kinda weak sauce ☹️. I'm loving this transparency and accountability from the royal family 💯
 
😔 this whole thing feels like such a mess... i mean who gets stripped of their titles just because they did something wrong? it's all so complicated and frustrating... poor prince andrew, i feel bad for him, but at the same time, i can see why king charles had to do what he did. 💔 those victims of abuse and grooming deserve justice and accountability, and this decision is one way to send a message about that. 🤝 it's just sad that we have to deal with all these human complexities in politics... 🙄
 
I don’t usually comment but it seems like a big move by King Charles to strip Prince Andrew of his titles 🤔. I mean, who wouldn't want to send a powerful message about abuse and grooming, right? 💪 It's not like it's gonna solve the issue or anything, but hey, at least he's trying, right? 👍 The fact that Rachael Maskell's private member's bill didn’t even get a chance to make it to the debate stage is just wild 🤯. And now Rachel Reeves is getting roasted for her rental licence situation 🚮 - talk about timing, huh? 😉
 
I gotta say, I'm all for removing Prince Andrew's titles 🤔... but only 'cause it's about time he faced some consequences for his actions 😒... but also kinda feel like the King's doing a bit too much on his own without consulting Parliament 🙄... I mean, shouldn't they be having that debate and discussing it in more detail? 🤷‍♀️... plus, isn't this all about setting an example for others with power? 🚫... but then again, Rachael Maskell's private bill never had a chance 🙈... and what about the licensing issue with Rachel Reeves' rental home? 🤔 doesn't that show some accountability from politicians too? 😬
 
🤦‍♂️ I'm kinda glad Prince Andrew lost his titles, you feel? I mean, he was always a bit dodgy with that Epstein thing 🙅‍♂️. It's about time someone made an example of him. King Charles being all wise and stuff is pretty cool too 👑. But come on, Rachael Maskell shoulda done her job and got it through parliament 😒. And Rachel Reeves? Who knew she was renting out her family home without proper permission 🤷‍♀️? It's a good reminder for us all to get our acts together 💪.
 
I think its kinda cool that King Charles took matters into his own hands 😊. Like, he's actually doing something about Prince Andrew's mess rather than just letting it fester. Its a big message for anyone with power or influence - you gotta be held accountable for your actions. I'm also loving how Rachael Maskell's bill is getting some attention, even if its not going to change the law anytime soon 🤔. Maybe one day we'll have more people speaking up about these issues and pushing for real change?
 
🤔 So they're taking away Prince Andrew's titles over his Epstein mess... seems like a step in the right direction to me, at least it shows he can't just get out of being held accountable that easily 🙏. But what's with all these politicians jumping on the bandwagon? Like, some are literally saying let him go to the US to answer questions... isn't that kinda letting him off the hook? 💔 And Rachael Maskell's private member's bill is never gonna happen because nobody wants to get tangled up in all this drama 🙄. The real story here is Chancellor Reeves and her dodgy rental licence - priorities, folks! 👀
 
I gotta say, I'm loving this move by King Charles. Removing titles from people who've abused their positions of power is a massive step forward 🙌. It's about time someone took a stand against those with deep pockets trying to keep their ill-gotten gains under wraps. I mean, Prince Andrew's been dodging questions about Epstein for years – now he's getting the boot 👋. Can't say I'm surprised though, Chris Bryant's always been vocal about holding people in power accountable 💁‍♂️. But Rachael Reeves' situation is a different story altogether 🤔. Renting out her family home without proper permission? That's just basic responsibility – what's next, the Chancellor's getting stripped of their own title? 😳
 
🤔 So what's really going on here? One minute Prince Andrew's got his fancy titles and the next he's lost them. I'm thinking maybe this is more than just some PR move by King Charles to make a point about abuse and grooming. It feels like there's something else at play, maybe even a way to quietly get rid of someone who's been causing trouble for the royal family. And what about all these politicians jumping on the bandwagon? Are they really that clueless or are they just trying to deflect attention from their own skeletons in the closet? I mean, Lisa Nandy and Chris Bryant are basically saying that Andrew should face the music, but Kemi Badenoch is being way more subtle. This whole thing just feels like a distraction from something bigger. 🤷
