The govt's proposed new asylum laws are impractical, ineffectual, and outright cruel. Aping the rhetoric of Reform won't fix the real issues in this country; it will only stir up more false divisions and endanger already vulnerable communities.

Green MP Carla Denyer accuses Shabana Mahmood of trying to "out Reform Reform" and says "toxic racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants" are to blame for "tearing our country apart" not migrants.

Mahmood: "I couldn't care less what any other political party has to say about these matters"

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Growing number of disabled people turning to sex work amid rising living costs The rising cost of living, cuts to benefits and welfare and poorly paid jobs have left some women and disabled people turning to sex work.

We recently spoke to @bigissue.com about the results of our recent research survey, exploring the reasons why people entered and remained in sex work.

Pilot after pilot has shown that shorter working weeks can improve productivity, retain staff and improve people's quality of life.

Councils successfully shifting to a successful four-day work week should be celebrated, not criticised.

My thoughts are with all affected by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and Cuba, and with their loved ones, including countless British families.

With climate breakdown advancing, storms like this will only become more frequent. We must act urgently to prevent furtherΒ catastrophes.

British weapons are being used in the genocide in Darfur, Sudan

We arm the UAE. The UAE arms the RSF

Once again we are complicit with a genocide

David Lammy accused people who care about Gaza, of having a β€œhierarchy of conflicts”

But once again Labour show it is they who have no moral backbone

The Greens are heading towards being ahead of the Labour party.

Then, Labour will have to stand down to stop dividing the anti-Reform vote.
