Do I know anyone in Birmingham who would buy my daughter's Ari Abdul ticket? There was a mix up about who was playing support and now she's paid £25 for a gig which isn't what she thought.

Apparently for World Book Day at Boy's school - two groups of girls arrived dressed as Alvin & The Chipmunks.
This did not go down well and they had a massive fight, in full costume, in the playground. One girl was sent home with a suspected broken wrist.

A fair asylum system cannot be built on instability or performative toughness

This policy will not deter people from fleeing conflict and persecution. But it will make life harder for those the UK has already recognised as needing safety

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Jamie is right. Burchett and others just voted to keep sexual predator records hidden, and nobody in Tennessee will even hear about it.

Brixton is just so much bullshit in places.
I always come to Express Cafe so looked at other menus. Everything circa £17. Big grocery from a Reform supporting twat. Gallery showing pics of protest where the sweet cheap costume jewelry stall was.
