Italy, Denmark & Netherlands host meeting in Brussels on "innovative" solutions to migration issues. For "innovative" read paying Libyan militias even more to imprison & torture migrants and increased funding for the Tunisian régime to round up migrants and dump them in the desert to die.

🔴 Another avoidable tragedy has unfolded in the Mediterranean, as a boat carrying people shipwrecked near the coast of Tunisia, claiming the lives of 40 people, including several infants. This is the result of the EU's migration policy.

Disinformation actors often operate far outside the bounds of decency, law, and norms to widely spread harmful narratives that affect global policy, social engagement, and the stability of infrastructure—like democracy—that businesses rely on.

Op-ed: Moving beyond tough talk on migration to real solutions Politically driven quick fixes are crowding out policy. Europe must invest in a long-term migration architecture that works.

"Instead of disrupting the business model, the current approach to smuggling is boosting [it] ... Tighter European controls made the demand for their services increase and their work more profitable".

Russia and left-wingers ‘trying to flood Europe with illegal migrants' Daniel Mitov, Bulgaria's interior minister, said hostile states were teaming up with criminals 'to destabilise Europe' - helped unwittingly by aid organisations Matt Dathan, Sofia Sunday October 19 2025, 6.30pm, The Times Russian spies and hard-left humanitarian groups are working with people smugglers to flood Europe with illegal migrants, a Bulgarian minister says. Daniel Mitov, the interior minister, said his government had evidence that Russia's foreign intelligence service had direct links with the criminal gangs facilitating illegal immigration into the European Union.

States like Russia can only "weaponise" migration because of other states utter hostility towards those seeking a safer life. The answer isn't to make it harder for people to seek asylum. It's to invest in systems which make it easier, and support everyone.

I focused this, far too long, thread primarily on policy and tried, as much as possible, to keep personal views limited. Here's what really pisses me off though, at least Conservatives and Reform are honest about who they target with anti-immigration bs, Labour still pretends to be "progressive" 1/5

Modern slavery exists here.

And it’s the reality for many agricultural workers, including migrant workers, around the world who harvest the fruits and vegetables on our supermarket shelves.

SHOCK graph lays bare the staggering rise of the tactic lawyers used to block migrant deportations An exclusive Stand for Our Sovereignty suggests claims have risen by 32 per cent in the last year alone

Surprise, surprise but here we go again @gbnewsonline.bsky.social deliberately conflating the issue of migration and #modernslavery. Just a wee reminder, modern slavery is a serious crime with victims and perpetrators and not an migration issue which is not a crime. www.gbnews.com/politics/mig...

Concern as 6% of human ­trafficking and modern slavery cases end in conviction Research has found only a tiny ­proportion of criminal charges concerning trafficking and slavery lead to a guilty verdict in court.

It’s deeply alarming that only 6% of #humantrafficking & #modernslavery cases in #Scotland lead to convictions. It’s a systemic failure. Evidence gathering is hard, victims are retraumatised, laws are complex, and resources are under pressure. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/concern...

These are the direct, deadly and intentional consequences of EU policy.

UK anti-slavery commissioner condemns Shabana Mahmood’s asylum comments Home secretary’s remarks about ‘vexatious’ claims will have real-life impact on trafficking victims, says Eleanor Lyons

The Home Secretary’s framing of “vexatious, last‐minute” #modernslavery claims is deeply troubling. Suggesting victims “suddenly deciding” they are modern slaves on the eve of deportation isn’t just inaccurate. 🧵
