@joshuarozenberg.bsky.social are you watching this? fairly shocking stuff. massive intake of breath in some parts of the Bar and not much in the media. We understand what this kind of behaviour means - but the public?

Very interesting. This should be read by everybody with an interest in the immigration debate.

The law is that the judge has to assess risk on return as at the day of hearing.
It’s quite hard to see how there would not be a well founded fear of being persecuted right now irrespective of whether the appellant has lied about stuff or, indeed, the nature of the asylum case at all. Being returned from the UK would surely be enough.

But that’s THE major problem with immigration and asylum policy. Wishful thinking by policy makers.

who could have predicted that stopping international students, care workers and nurses from coming to the UK would damage the economy/public finances while yielding precisely no political benefits?
Oh. Me.

As the year comes to an end, many organisations look back on what they’ve achieved.
🧵For us at ECRE, this reflection comes with both pride, urgency and renewed commitment.

As the government launches its new policy over violence against women and girls, we go to Nigel Farage for Reform’s response.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”
Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.
Awww sad decline of washpo much more heartbreaking. I remember when it was a proper paper love from Fab London
