We can't allow enormous numbers of people to exploit laws in this way, Badenoch hits back.

Will the PM commit to bringing forward new legislation or amending his Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill?

Starmer says the home secretary has a team working on closing the loophole.

He accuses the Conservatives of losing control of immigration when they were last in government.

Starmer says he does not agree with the judge's decision.

"She's right, it's the wrong decision," he says.

But he then accuses Badenoch of not doing her homework. He says the decision was taken under rules from the last government.

Parliament should make the rules on immigration, he says.

Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch takes her place at the dispatch box.

She starts by raising reports that a Palestinian family was granted the right to live in the UK after applying via a scheme designed for Ukrainian refugees - read more about this in our earlier post.

She says this is not what the scheme - brought in under the previous Tory government - was designed to do.

Will the government appeal?

It all kicks off at midday, so stay with us.

Here's more now on reports that a Palestinian family was granted the right to live in the UK after applying via a scheme designed for Ukrainian refugees - a topic our political correspondent Harry Farley says may come up at PMQs.

The story - first reported by the Telegraph - says that a Palestinian family of six were granted the right to live in the UK following an appeal, after they applied to enter the country through the Ukraine Family Scheme.

An immigration judge ruled that the Home Office’s rejection of their application breached their human rights, according to several reports.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said in a post on X yesterday that "we cannot have judges simply making up new schemes based on novel and expansive interpretations of human rights law".

"It is clearer than ever that radical changes to human rights laws are needed - so Parliament, and not Judges, make decisions about eligibility to come to the UK," she added.

Keir Starmer will likely face a grilling after 11 of his party's councillors were suspended in Greater Manchester as part of an investigation into a WhatsApp group where offensive messages were shared.

The group named Trigger Me Timbers, revealed by the Mail on Sunday over the weekend, had already led to the suspension of two Labour MPs in the region.

Gorton and Denton MP Andrew Gwynne was suspended on Saturday, admitting he had made "badly misjudged" comments. He was also sacked as a health minister.

Gwynne said in a statement after his sacking on Saturday night he regretted his comments, and apologised for "any offence caused".

In messages seen by the Mail on Sunday, he had said he hoped a 72-year-old woman would soon be dead after she wrote to her local councillor about bin collections.

Burnley MP Oliver Ryan was then suspended on Monday, saying earlier that he had made comments "which I deeply regret" - they were sent before he was elected as an MP but were reported in the Mail on Sunday and appear to show Ryan mocking another Labour MP for his sexuality, and denigrating the vice-chairman of the local Labour Party.

Trump's tariffs, offensive WhatsApps and immigration - what could come up?published at 11:17 Greenwich Mean Time

Sir Keir Starmer faces Kemi Badenoch at Prime Minister’s Questions today with both leaders battling criticisms from inside as well as outside their own parties.

The Conservative leader has plenty of topics she could raise; Donald Trump’s tariffs, the government’s immigration plans, offensive messages on a WhatsApp group called Trigger Me Timbers that has led to the suspension of two Labour MPs and 11 councillors.

Perhaps the most obvious clue comes in a social media post from Badenoch overnight. She says “radical changes to human rights laws are needed” after a Telegraph story claimed Palestinian migrants came to the UK under a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees.

But Badenoch is also under pressure herself.

One shadow minister I spoke to recently acknowledged Badenoch had not managed to make the most of the weekly platform PMQs provides her. They put it down to being relatively new into the role. But she marked 100 days as party leader this week.

Her MPs will grow increasingly frustrated if she isn’t able to use the Wednesday lunchtime session to set the agenda and begin to recover the Tories’ poor ratings in the polls.

Home

• Assisted dying: The Labour MP behind the assisted dying bill in England and Wales says plans for cases to be signed off by experts rather than a judge would strengthen it - her opponents disagree
• Immigration: The government has toughened up rules making it almost impossible for a refugee who arrives in the UK on a small boat to become a British citizen - the Refugee Council and some Labour MPs condemn the move
• WhatsApp: Eleven Labour councillors in Greater Manchester have been suspended as part of an investigation into a WhatsApp group where offensive messages were shared
• Housing: Rogue landlords in England will face curbs on how much benefit they can receive if their properties are substandard, the government says, unveiling £300m to build more affordable housing

And away

• Britain's answer to tariffs: The UK will not retaliate immediately to the renewal of steel and aluminium tariffs by the US, the government says. Britain's direction of travel on tariffs appears to be a clear attempt to differentiate it from other G7 allies' attempts to project strength to the White House, our economics editor, Faisal Islam, writes
• Ambo's first day: Britain must respect President Donald Trump's "strong and clear mandate for change", Peter Mandelson, the new UK ambassador to the US, told the BBC's Sarah Smith. We've clipped up their conversation
• AI: The UK and US have not signed an international agreement on artificial intelligence (AI) at a global summit in Paris
