YouTube video by Zoe Gardner The TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…

But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?

Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

youtu.be/w6Nr4ccjMlM?...

Marking 70 years of UK refugee protection - British Future 70 years since Britain signed the UN Refugee Convention, refugees from seven decades came together to mark this anniversary.

Shabana Mahmood says Labour values & 1951 that refugee convention is protection should be temporary

The practice of refugee protection in each of last 7 and a half decades has been that some have gone back & many have become British

Here are their stories

How Shabana Mahmood set out 'Labour argument' for forcibly deporting children

Labour values meant:
* accommodation would be conditional
* refugees would only be able to stay for 30 months before facing being sent back
* failed asylum seekers, incl. children, would be forcibly deported if they didn't accept payment to leave

What values?

Crypto investor based in Thailand donates further £3m to Reform Christopher Harborne’s gift is latest to party’s election war chest and comes amid calls for cap on political donations

Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

1. Thread 🧵

Freedom of Movement wasn’t just a policy.
It was a simple freedom: the ability to say yes.

• Yes to a job.
• Yes to love.
• Yes to a new life in another country.

When that freedom disappeared, something subtle but important changed.

I think @zoejardiniere.bsky.social was spot on when she suggested more than a passing similarity with Miss Trunchbull!

Restoring order at the border speaks to Labour values. Without that, we won’t be able to do anything else at all | Shabana Mahmood Our approach, unlike that of the Greens and Reform, is in step with the British people. They don’t want extremes – they want a system that is managed and fair, says home secretary Shabana Mahmood

So deluded she believes her policies are "in step with the British people", they represent "Labour values" & are not "extreme".

Yes, Keir Starmer must do better and go faster in bringing Britain closer to Europe. Here’s how to reset his reset | Naomi Smith MPs warn the plan so far lacks direction and drive, but there are four clear ways to really move on from our disastrous Brexit, says Naomi Smith of Best for Britain

The best way to get closer to the Single Market is to JOIN IT!
Better still, just #RejoinEU

This is one of the reasons 40% of British people who could vote do not vote. Not voting is often called “apathy.” When I have talked to non-voters they are NOT apathetic. They are pissed off!

Think you mis-spelled stupid.

All for one etc.

Britain told to stop being so ‘secretive’ about its Brexit reset New report from cross-party committee of UK lawmakers says Keir Starmer is not being clear about what it’s after in its

🇪🇺 “The truth is that the public have just sort of shrugged their shoulders and said, well, yeah, get on with it,” Emily Thornberry MP said.

👏 Thornberry is right. The public are hugely supportive of the government negotiating closer ties with the EU.

Farage only likes poll results when they work in his favour.
Funny that.

The post-Brexit deal for Gibraltar is not 'betrayal' – it is a triumph The newly-agreed, UK-EU settlement for Gibraltar protects jobs, stability and proud British identity.

Some hardline Brexiteers have rubbished the document as a “betrayal”.Let’s be clear: these slurs do not spring from any concern for Gibraltar’s wellbeing or aspirations. Rather, they are an attempt to use Gibraltar as a pawn in a domestic UK debate.

Young adults face unemployment, low wages, debt.

Govt can help, adopt Scottish policies
No university tuition fees.

Treating young adults in England as second class is a political choice.

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens?

Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.
