This statement not acceptable and I suspect not sustainable. Large majority of public support principle of asylum, support letting people stay permanently. Majority for that among Labour and other progressive parties’ voters is overwhelming. The Reform voters this is aimed at will never vote Labour

Ha Haa!

It's disgraceful that Nigel Farage is egging Donald Trump on as he attacks the BBC and tries to pick pockets of millions of licence fee payers.

She's badly, badly wrong on this. It's inhuman, despicable and unworthy of Labour government.

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.

Asylum system in UK ‘out of control’ and dividing country, home secretary says Shabana Mahmood to unveil new proposals modelled on Denmark’s controversial system

The Prime Minister said in September that we are at a fork in the road. These asylum proposals suggest we have taken the wrong turning.

The idea that recognised refugees need to be deported is wrong.

End the Prosecution of Peaceful Protestors in the UK Police have made 2100+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. This cannot go unchallenged. The UK’s chief prosecutors must now decide...

Police have made 2100+ arrests under terrorism laws in the UK for protesting peacefully against the banning of Palestine Action. It is a violation of the UK’s international obligations. Act now: www.amnesty.org.uk/actions/end-...

“On that point of reviewing people’s cases every two and a half years which is much more than they are now the Refugee council has done some sums and they’ve told us that would mean more than 60,000 people being reassessed..a bureaucratic nightmare”

“on article 8 of the ECHR in particular the right to family life ..we want to constrain in legislation the way that that is applied in immigration cases” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood tells Sky’s Trevor Philips

Who would have imagined we would ever hear this from a Labour government

Mahmood furious over asylum seeker taxi bills.

Overton window has been obliterated

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

Another gimmick to appease the media & Reform
The Home Office needs to be broken up and a new Department of Immigration created to take a long term view of benefits and disadvantages, manage the system professionally and with humanity.
See my post recommending 'Anywhere But Here' by Nicola Kelly

We have arrived in a dangerous place when Thatcher's chancellor has become viewed as a lefty.

So that's where the Teletubbies ended up.

Imagine being trapped and left to die.
That’s what bird netting does every day.
It’s time to End Bird Netting, no one deserves this.

Let communities own rivers, woods & moors!

Excellent to see @simonforstroud.bsky.social has tabled amendments 107 & 108 to the Devolution Bill to strengthen Community Right to Buy laws in this way.

We need more Labour MPs to support this - email yours:

More 'waddling' than marching.

And Labour isn't too bothered about protecting UK's precious chalk streams, either. wildfish.org/latest-news/...

Whatever your view about asylum seekers, you should read this book, then send it to your MP so she or he understands the thoughtless cruelty, press-appeasing & gimmick-driven short-termism and bureaucratic incompetence that has broken the system. Thank you

Land is power – Scotland’s people have none Land isn't just about wealth and justice, it's about power. Scotland is cut off from its own land resources and hence is poorer as a nation

Land isn't just about wealth and justice, it's about power.

Yesterday in Parliament I said that the government should leave X.

The hearing in our judicial review challenge to the EHRC's (now withdrawn) Interim Guidance has finished. Judgment will follow later. No indication given as to when but he's usually pretty efficient and I would be surprised if we didn't get a judgment before Christmas.

Patriotic Millionaires bring tax-the-rich campaign to Newcastle ahead of Autumn Budget Patriotic Millionaires with the message "Tax us the super-rich"

A national campaign calling for higher taxes on Britain’s wealthiest individuals arrived in Newcastle this week, with the Patriotic Millionaires UK bus pulling up on Market Street in steady rain emblazoned with the message: “Tax us, the super-rich.” 👏👏👏

Epstein gave Putin dirt on Trump.

Now we know why Trump has been Putin’s puppet ever since.

This is such an obvious solution, that could dovetail with increasing relief for standard rate tax payers - we aren’t saving enough as a nation.

#BBCPanorama #Panorama Here's an idea. Apologise for linking two parts of Trump's speech without explanation and re-run the whole programme in prime time with an insert in the middle of the speech saying, 'and less than an hour later Donald Trump said...'. Job done.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

'This seems to be a problem with the staff who were appointed in the first place.'

Caller Jeff tells @nickferrarilbc.bsky.social that people who don't understand impartiality should not be given a job at the BBC.
