Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."

But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

Thank you Zack for everything you said, for not being afraid to show real emotion , for speaking for all of us who are deeply appalled and, more importantly for the people whom the government is quite prepared to scapegoat, to steal from, to endanger and left to live in fear

It seems we are on the road to a UK with its own ICE and disappeared people. Going by comments on some of the articles about the proposal, there is a worryingly large minority in favour and some even finding this most appalling situation funny.

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.

Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.

Refugees are welcome.

Vote Labour

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"

That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

This government has soiled the Labour Party and what it stood for, for a very long time. I have lost patience with the supporters who tell me to look at the good things they are doing as if that negates the appalling stuff

every time I think I can't get more disgusted ... besides the far right wing and those racist and / or gullible enough, who are all these people that they claim want and back this hard-line and cruel proposal

Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber all Cop30 delegations except Brazil, report says One in every 25 participants at 2025 UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist, according to Kick Big Polluters Out

The climate crisis is a crisis mostly of the fossil fuel industry's own making – and one they do not want to fix nor be held accountable for

The presence and involvement of oil, gas and coal lobbyists at the #COP30 UN climate summit is like tobacco lobbyists at a lung cancer summit: unacceptable

'Not justified': 5 UN experts condemn UK Palestine Action proscription FOUR UN special rapporteurs and an independent expert have condemned the UK's proscription of Palestine Action as "not justified",…

It is chilling. Also the comments about this on the BBC article show how hard line many have become, is very worrying. I live in one of the least diverse areas of the country [unless you factor in the NHS or care of course] , yet there are plenty of votes for those horrible, tough policies here

🚨 For millions across England NHS dentistry has effectively ceased to exist. People in agony are pulling out their own teeth - it’s not Victorian, it’s medieval! We cannot allow this to be normalized

I also hate him. I don't think I would like any of the current cabinet to become PM certainly not those in top posts

Thank you Anna Maxwell Martin for backing the @asgsfprotest.bsky.social campaign🙏

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering & were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base

I felt this article was quite patronizing throughout

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign? Oppose the "resignations" of BBC leaders. The BBC should be impartial not controlled by Tr

When was the last time anyone at the BBC had to resign for misrepresenting a leftwinger?

As a palliative care specialist, I’ve witnessed the human tragedy of our end-of-life care crisis | Rachel Clarke While the government debates assisted dying, palliative care is an afterthought. And many more people face death without the care and support they need, says Rachel Clarke

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically motivated attack. With these resignations, it’s given in | Jane Martinson The corporation should have stood up to the Telegraph, Trump and the Tories. Now, its enemies know how little it takes for it to fold, says Jane Martinson, professor of financial journalism

Trevor Philips, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer is coming back from #COP30 having refused to put money into the tropical forest fund on the grounds that we can't afford it. He's right, isn't he?"

Zack Polanski, "No, it's outrageous. When it comes to climate, we have to look at the cost of inaction"

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base

Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.

I wonder why.
