The reduction in the move on period has been shown to cause homelessness among refugees. It just is not possible for many to find a new place to live in 28 days, or for most people for that matter. It's a harmful, and cynical, manoeuvre by the government, and shifts support needs onto councils.

Farage: Teen comments were banter, not racism
Extract:
However, he added:
"I've never
directly racially abused anybody. No." Suggesting the motivation behind the claims was
"political disagreements" with some of his private school peers, Farage denied having "ever been part of an extremist organisation or engaged in direct, unpleasant personal abuse, genuine abuse, on that basis".
Pressed on whether he would say categorically he did not racially abuse fellow pupils, Parage said: "I would never; ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way.
Asked whether he had said things to fellow pupils that he had not intended to be hurtful or racist, but they took it that way, he said: "I hope not.
And asked whether he had said things at school that people might have taken offence at, he replied: "Without any shadow of a doubt.
He said he would not apologise to anyone because he did not think that he had done anything that hurt anyone,
Bossy headline from The Times letting Farage insist his โHitler was rightโ racism was just โbanterโ.
If that were true, his politics now would be different and heโd apologise. Heโs defensive because this is what he is and always has been and heโs angry with us for knowing that and for minding.

Refugees who were months away from settlement now face 15-year wait
Shabana Mahmood's asylum reforms will apply retrospectively, it has been confirmed โ and it is claimed the bureaucracy will cost up to ยฃ1.3bn
Matt Dathan, Home Affairs Editor
Monday November 24 2025, 12.01am, The Times
Thousands of refugees who believed they were months from settlement now face 15 years of instability after it was confirmed that Shabana Mahmood's overhaul of asylum rules would apply retrospectively.
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
ALEXANDRIA DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
V.
JAMES B. COMEY, JR.,
Defendant.
Criminal No. 1:25-cr-00272-MSN
OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT ECF NO. 60)
On September 25, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just days before, Ms.
Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging former FBI Director James B. Comey, Jr. with
making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding.
Mr. Comey now moves to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Ms. Halligan, the sole
prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28
U.S.C. ยง 546 and the Constitution's Appointments Clause. As explained below, I agree with Mr.
Comey that the Attorney General's attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to
present the indictment, I will grant Mr. Comey's motion and dismiss the indictment without
prejudice.

V.
LETITIA A. JAMES,
Criminal No. 2:25-cr-00122-JK W
Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS INDICTMENT (ECE NO. 22)
On October 9, 2025, Lindsey Halligan, a former White House aide with no prior prosecutorial experience, appeared before a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Having been appointed Interim U.S. Attorney by the Attorney General just two weeks before, Ms.
Halligan secured a two-count indictment charging New York Attorney General Letitia James with
bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution.
Ms. James now moves to dismiss the indictment on the ground that Ms. Halligan, the sole
prosecutor who presented the case to the grand jury, was unlawfully appointed in violation of 28 U.S.C. ยง 546 and the Constitution's Appointments Clause. As explained below, I agree with Ms.
James that the Attorney General's attempt to install Ms. Halligan as Interim U.S. Attorney for the
Eastern District of Virginia was invalid. And because Ms. Halligan had no lawful authority to
present the indictment, I will grant Ms. James's motion and dismiss the indictment without
prejudice.
BREAKING: Judge rules Lindsey Halligan's appointment was not valid, thus, she had no authority to present the James Comey or Letitia James indictments and the indictments are dismissed without prejudice.
