The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

I had to check the date on this three times
‘At home with Peter Mandelson’ in Times magazine *today*
This is how we cover corruption in Britain? Seriously??
A photo of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, accompanied by Congressmembers Ilhan Omar and Joaquin Castro, posing after arriving home in Minneapolis following their release earlier today from a detention center in Texas. Liam is wearing his blue hat, and Rep. Omar is carrying his Spider-Man backpack.
Liam Conejo Ramos is going home today. 💗
Hundreds of children just like him are not.
Time to call for restoring democracy and tackling the corruption crisis in the United States!

A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Screenshot of a headline reading: "Refugees' jewellery could be seized to pay for asylum costs, says Home Office minister."
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)
I think Latin Americans and East Asians are also very under-represented in dramas, adverts etc

Pluralistic democracy., and an alternative universalist path still available to be taken against the eugenicists.
On this day in 1940, Walter Benjamin took his own life in the town of Portbou, after being denied entry by Spanish officials.
“If the killing of Lorca was Fascism’s first crime against literature, Benjamin’s death was undoubtedly the second.” - The Listener
