Theresa May has announced the UK Border Force will be split from the UK Border Agency next month and will become directly responsible to ministers.

Responding to a report by UKBA Chief Inspector, John Vine, into the border checks row which led to former head Brodie Clark being suspended and later resigning, the Home Secretary told MPs the border force needs a “whole new management structure”.

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper accused Ms May of giving "premature and inaccurate information" about the pilot scheme for relaxing border checks, and accused her of "misleading" MPs about the success of the pilot.

She also accused Ms May of failing to take responsibility for the crisis and said she was trying to “roll back the clock” by weakening rather than strengthening border checks.

Mr Vine himself has spoken this evening, telling the BBC that the issues at the UKBA were caused by poor management, and said all his recommendations should be implemented.

He called for a new culture of clarity at the organisation: “There needs to be new framework at border checks; there needs to be good decision-making which is absolutely clear and uses precise language, that has to be communicated precisely to the immigration officers and staff at the border who are carrying it out.”

David Cameron has called on the international community to “get behind Somalia” to build a “stronger, safer, more prosperous country”.

The Prime Minister was speaking following a round-table meeting today with the members of the Somali communities at Downing Street.

He will also host an international summit on the problems facing the country on Thursday.

Lord Carey has hit out at David Cameron's plans to legalise gay marriage. In an article for the Daily Mail, the former Archbishop of Canterbury says the proposal "constitutes one of the greatest political power grabs in history" and offers his backing to a new grassroots group Coalition for Marriage, which opposes the redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples.

Every single phone call, email and website visit is to be recorded and kept for a year under new legislation tabled for the next session of Parliament. Security services will also have access to social network site visits under a revised version of plans initially put forward by the Labour government.

Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt has expressed sincere condolences to the families of those involved in the British coach crash in northern France, in which a teacher died.

He said that the UK's ambassador to Paris, Sir Peter Ricketts, had met with many of the passengers affected by the accident involving a party of schoolchildren returning from a skiing holiday.  

The Government are working closely with the French authorities and doing all they can to help those affected to recover and get home, Mr Burt said. 

New anti-terror laws will see broadband and phone providers obliged to keep details of calls, text messages, and emails for a year, according to the Sunday Telegraph. Online interactions can also be tracked, with messages on sites such as Twitter and Facebook tracked.

Ed Miliband has attacked the Government's changes to the tax and benefits system, which he says make average families £580 poorer.

Speaking at his party's Welsh Conference, the Labour leader cited figures published the Institute for Fiscal Studies which suggested that Coalition changes to tax and benefits including the working tax credit, the child tax credit, the pension credit and fuel duty would leave many families significantly worse off.

"On current forecasts, the average worker will be earning the same in three years' time as they were 10 years ago, but the weekly shop costs more," he said.

Staff at courts have said cuts to security have left them "fearing for their lives". The PCS union reported that gangs had been clashing outside courts, with 28 incidents reported in London.

Eric Pickles has defended the right of local councils to pray before meetings, insisting that the relationship between Christianity and government is an "important one".

The Comminities Secretary's comments come after the Government announced it would activate a power to overturn a High Court ruling and allow councils to hold prayers at meetings.

Mr Pickles told Sky News: "I think it is important to have this because the relationship between Christianity and government one is an important one. It is an important part of British society, so I did this to restore the law to what everybody thought it was."

Tom Watson has said he will write to the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe to ensure any evidence of phone hacking at the offices of the Sun is "secure and safe".

His comments come after ten journalists arrested in connection with hacking were told they could return to work by the paper's owner, Rupert Murdoch.

Mr Murduch also announced that he would be launching a Sunday edition of the Sun in the recent future.

A think-tank has called for the Chancellor to implement the Conservative policy of a tax break for married couples.

The Centre for Social Justice said it was important the break was included in the upcoming budget.

Theresa May has said the Government is "pursuing all options" with regards to the deportation of the radical cleric Abu Qatada. The Home Secretary will travel to Jordan to continue negotiations with the regime over Qatada's release from jail and potential deportation.

Forty children held in adult detention centres have received a share of £1m compensation from the Home Office. The children - the youngest of whom is 14 - began legal proceedings in 2005 for being "wrongfully detained". The Government has changed the policy under which the children were held, which initially said immigration officials could refuse to accept a person's claim to be under 18, if they suspected otherwise, and deal with them as an adult.

Major employers have begun abandoning the Government's new Work Programme due to public anger over its terms. Retailers such as Sainsbury's, Waterstones and Matalan announced they were withdrawing from the scheme because of bad publicity. The scheme sees unemployed and disabled people compelled to take full time jobs and work for no wages in order to continue to receive their Jobseekers' Allowance.

Edwina Currie has been criticised for telling a mother she had "only herself to blame" for her family's poverty. Ms Currie was heard to aggressively question a caller on BBC Radio 5Live, who was reduced to tears by the former Conservative MP's line of questioning, made in response to being told people on low incomes sometimes had to skip meals because of financial difficulties.

The Ministry of Justice wants to introduce changes to the current bailiff laws. The proposals aim to clarify what bailiffs are legally entitled to do whilst banning the use of force.

 Justice Minister Jonathan Djanogly outlined how the Government needed to respond to bad behaviour from aggressive and rogue bailiffs. He ridiculed some practices including “knocking on people's doors in the middle of the night, going to people's homes when there are only children in” but added that some people didn’t know “what to expect” from bailiffs.

The move has been well received by the bailiff industry. Jamie Waller, Chief Exec of bailiff company JBW group said: "This is not a knee jerk reaction, this has been very well thought through and it’s what the industry needs."

Human right’s watchdog Trevor Phillips has noted the importance for Christians to choose between their religion and obeying the law.

Speaking at a debate in London on diverse societies he said: “You can’t say because we decide we’re different then we need a different set of laws.”

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Copper has criticised Home Secretary Theresa May for not getting personally involved with the Jordanian Government over Abu Qatada until now.

The Home Secretary is set to fly to Jordan to discuss Abu Qatada’s deportation but Ms Cooper believes the move has come too late.

She said: “Had Ministers taken urgent action with Jordan a month ago when the first court judgement was received that could have helped keep Abu Qatada behind bars in line with the government's security assessment. The Home Secretary still needs to explain why she has not appealed against the European Court decision given a month ago, and what assurances she has had from Jordan and when she thinks an agreement will be reached.”

Ms Cooper also encouraged Ms May to consider what she’ll do “if these negotiations fail” and make sure “she has sufficient power to protect national security” when Abu Qatada’s bail expires in three months time.

The radical preacher was released from a UK jail earlier this week under strict bail conditions.

A High Court judge has reserved judgement on whether an injunction won by Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman’s son should continue. The injunction will remain in place until a judgement is reached.

Yvette Cooper has ended Labour's opposition to elected police and crime commissioners, saying party candidates will "make the best of a bad job" and represent communities. The Shadow Home Secretary said Labour candidates would stand on a platform of fighting cuts.
