The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.
Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.
It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.

The First Step
Europe Needs To Stop Listening to the "Hopewashing" from Official Washington
Just sent out this post. For Europeans to start looking after their own security one step seems vital, they need to stop genuflecting to official Washington, which always "hopewashes" the policies of Donald Trump. Unless Europe can think for itself, it will fail. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Ukraine war latest: Zelensky says he has no right to give up land to Russia
Trump expresses frustration with Zelensky, accusing him of failing to read the latest plan, while insisting Putin was 'fine with it'
Since Russia is happily waging a cyber war on us and others and physical war in Ukraine isnβt it about time the UK and Europe stood up to Putin and increased pressure including support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia?
