Asylum in UK to be made temporary under Home Secretary’s plans Shabana Mahmood will lay out reforms modelled on the Danish system on Monday.

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

Anything more shabby and shameful is difficult to envisage.

The BBC is the biggest prize in the information war – and the right may be about to destroy it The corporation is always under attack. But this time it has been sabotaged by conservative ideologues deep within its heart. Is it time for the culture secretary to step in? By Dorian Lynskey

Wrestle the BBC from the pernicious influence of it’s historic right wing, rich bias. Finally make it independent, politically neutral.

You can not let it’s perceived global ‘trust’ be bought out totally by global plutocrats.

Yorkshire Water: it’s time to end the rip-off Handing the company back to local people would return both control and value to those who need it most

‼️ "Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era.

…Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt."

Lots of stuff here that you won't read in most of the legacy media which seems completely uninterested in the backgrounds, associations and possible motivations of those behind the BBC crisis.

Why was the BBC having its homework marked by a lobbyist who hasn't worked as a journalist for 20 years?

The Caerphilly by-election was a ‘cataclysmic disaster’ for Labour and the contest was ‘over before it started’, according to a former Welsh Government minister ✍️Emily Price wp.me/p8Mk4U-18hJ

I had heard rumors about this—indeed the US threatened to revoke foreign officials’ visas if they voted in favor of the green shipping rules at the IMO.

Utterly thuggish behavior

What happens when £47 billion disappears from Britain’s economy? Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy. That isn't prudence. It's managed decline

The Conservatives plan to reduce government spending by £47 billion.

It's not just taking money away from the poorest and most vulnerable people... it's taking £47B out of our local economies - which puts the nation in managed decline.

Cilmeri. Dail y deri yn disgyn.

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

The people of Caerphilly are not nearly as gullible as Nigel Farage thought they were. For him and his abominable party, the by-election loss is a huge setback that they weren’t expecting✍️ Martin Shipton

Whew. Da iawn Caerffili.

It's almost as if what Reform promise to do isn't what they actually do when in power. Shocking. I wonder if there is a word for this sort of dishonest, sneaky and unscrupulous behaviour?
