Ah I got you. My old knack of missing the point sometimes remains unmatched.

It's good to have people on higher earnings (and I realize I am guessing wildly here as I have no idea how much Sean earns!) say this. Should be encouraged. And agree people at the bottom shouldn't be taxed more of course.

Every day the gap between them and Reform, on immigration, trans and non-binary rights, disabled individuals etc shrinks. Human rights have to apply to everyone or they end up applying to no-one. #r4today

Put Britain's safety before migrants' rights, Mahmood to tell judges Home Secretary to increase deportations and restrict asylum seekers' use of ECHR in plans modelled on Denmark 36 Gift this article free Plans for more deportations come as migrants continue to arrive by small boat Credit: PA Charles Hymas Home Affairs Editor 13 November 2025 6:30pm GMT Shabana Mahmood will force judges to prioritise public safety over the rights of illegal migrants in a crackdown on asylum claims.
The Home Secretary will on Monday pledge to "scale up" deportations as she announces new restrictions on the way judges apply the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) when foreigners appeal against being removed from the UK. Ms Mahmood will propose new statutory rules that require judges to prioritise public interest and safety over migrants' claims that deportation would breach their family rights or put them at risk of โinhuman" treatment if they were returned to their home country.
Sickening rhetoric by Home Secretary. Denying access to human rights isn't "protecting the public". This is Labour further demonising those seeking asylum in language very reminiscent of the far right. Yes, some break the law, so should be prosecuted within the law. Removing rights is not the answer
