Migrants must have no debt??? The whole country is based on debt. That’s what Britain sells to the world. It makes our elite wealthy. But of course, their victims just deserve ever more punishment.

I’m on Islam Channel’s β€˜THE DEBATE’ at 9pm tonight - discussing Shabana Mahmood’s draconian asylum plans.

Tune in online or on Sky 736, Freeview 264 or Virgin 838!

The government is not even trying to hide its far-right turn. Yesterday’s asylum changes show it clearly.

We will keep resisting the scapegoating of migrants, and we will always stand by one another.

Shabana Mahmood's Brutal New Migration Policy Must Be Opposed
YouTube video by JCWI Media Shabana Mahmood's Brutal New Migration Policy Must Be Opposed

The Home Secretary's asylum policy announcement is brutal and inhumane, as our Advocacy Director @seemasyeda.bsky.social told LBC News this morning.

Labour is implementing the slide to fascism. We call on all social movement forces to unite and resist.

Our comment on this horrifying case is featured in @theleaduk.bsky.social.

Thanks @lukebeardsworth.bsky.social for reporting on this story.

The government must stop wasting billions of pounds of taxpayer money enriching private corporations like Serco & create safe, permanent housing for everyone.

Police drop inquiry after man assaulted removing flags Tensions over divisive flag displays have erupted into violence in Norfolk, as police face criticism for inaction

Violence over street flags continues. A 68-year-old was brutally attacked and hospitalised while trying to take banners down, yet despite retrieving evidence from a house, police took no further action.

I agree but also pessimistic of the intellect, optimism of the will & all that. Fractured parties that stand for nothing have done well in elections before… we shouldn’t be complacent about the risk & we should be optimistic about the possible success of a more radical project outside electoralism.

Hackney synagogue calls on Zack Polanski to suspend Green councillors who β€˜rallied against Israel’ - The Jewish Chronicle An extraordinary meeting of the council, called to discuss a motion to cut all ties with β€˜Israel’s genocide’, led to an β€˜inflamed’ debate

My comment? I'm proud of Green councillors who are doing everything they can to bring attention to stopping the genocide.

EU criticised for pausing sanctions on Israel in response to Trump Gaza efforts Pause on move to freeze preferential trade pact comes amid scramble to shore up fragile ceasefire

Israel is committing war crimes daily. It’s illegal, apartheid occupation continues. But because 20 rather than 100 people a day are being murdered, the EU stops pretending that it *might* do something.

Did you know that playing Xbox, Candy Crush and Call of Duty, all owned by Microsoft, helps fund Israeli apartheid and genocide?

More than 100 charities call for home secretary to stop β€˜scapegoating’ migrants The letter claimed that blaming migrants for societal issues had sown β€˜anger and division’ in the community

The β€˜Unite the Kingdom’ rally is a terrifying example of what happens when politicians create performative, divisive policies to appease the far-right.
