Guidance for responding to 'A Fairer Pathway to Settlement' consultation We are Amnesty International UK. We are ordinary people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.

The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

UK leftists! Please please please fill out the UK govt survey on Earned Settlement *today* and rail as hard as you can against any changes to this system. We cannot let them spend billions on more surveillance and fascist bureaucracy of our communities ukhomeoffice.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I am LOVING this book.
Deakins: I don't like to be seen as someone that is mostly obsessed with lighting.
Also Deakins: Anyway, here's the exact layout and lamp models we used for every scene in The Hudsucker Proxy

Investigation demanded into Keir Starmer's comms chief's lobbying links Tim Allan's minority ownership of a lobbying firm has led to accusations of a perception of a conflict of interest.

Tim Allan - ex-Trustee of transphobic hate group ‘Sex Matters’ - has just resigned as Keir Starmer’s Director of Communications following ongoing scrutiny into Peter Mandelson’s dodgy dealings with child abuser, Jeffrey Epstein!

‘Gender critical’ transphobes are always in bed with the worst people!

Well Starship seems to have been a serious of design failures, so that doesn't help... Claiming it will have 100 ton payload to the surface of the moon is pretty laughable, when it clearly can't even do this to LEO

It's Scotland in February, so if we actually get a clear day, of course we take the kids to the beach

Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff.

Calls to halt UK Palantir contracts grow amid ‘lack of transparency’ over deals Opposition MPs urge Labour to pause public contracts with the US tech firm after attempts to examine deals blocked

Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.

The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals.

The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt
