The end of the so-called “one in, one out” scheme marks the collapse of an ineffective and deeply harmful approach.

Someone needs to do a research piece into the MP/leader of party DJ Set phenomenon that’s occurring.
I have become the opposite of a boomer. I now believe everything I see is AI and that nothing on the internet is real or factual.
Andy Burnham's proposals are sadly incoherent. It's unpopular to say this. But you cannot want a National Care Service and an end to rough sleeping while making huge, detrimental changes to the immigration system. The Earned Settlement proposals need to be scrapped. Sign our petition.
We NEED to get to 10k signatures on this petition and time is running out. Please take two mins out of your day to scrap plans that are detrimental to the economy and national identity, prioritise the wealthy over the working class and will push children into poverty. No brainer.
ASOS has been hacked. Really hope the hackers don’t leak my purchases.
The Green motion is an abject failure for so many reason but it is also exactly how online debate styles transfer to real political spaces. We're increasingly in times where everything is black or white and everything in between is a screaming match that takes the entire progressive movement down.

The Home Office and the PM are in direct contradiction with each other. Mahmood positioned with the extreme right and Burnham centre-left. You can't achieve both things, that's not a culture or economy that can survive.
What's more is that it is so unnecessary. We are in an economy that needs migration and where migrants are subject to the worst impacts of a failing economy. Migrants are part of the big picture on an economy that can flourish.
Brilliant from the Govt. but will not be achieved without acknowledging that the Home Office is directly responsible for pushing people into homelessness. NRPF, high visa fees, bureaucracy in applications, lack of access to legal aid etc. all contribute already. The changes will make this worse.
“We will be compassionate to a strictly limited number of people, and will save as many lives as the Daily Mail will let us”
We welcome the Gov's announcement of new safe routes. But more is needed.
Labour can talk about "fairness" when it scraps earned settlement plans and delivers safe routes for all instead of punishing thousands of people who have worked in this country for years.

The complete and total collapse of state function in the face of far right extremists. It is frankly ludicrous that Daniel Thomas continues to be at large given the series of crimes committed which he has literally filmed.
Mamdani getting swiped for "laughing" at the 9/11 memorial while there were far-right groups there protesting his attendance for simply existing as a Muslim. Is it disrespectful to smile and say hello to a colleague or to scream and yell at someone paying their respects? Vile.

"The danger to charities does not just come from balaclava-wearing vigilantes. Hostility also comes when organisations are targeted by politicians, media, &influencers who see the work we do as an obstacle to their agenda"
Taking stock of the current climate. We would never have won anything for Windrush generation if we did it today. There would be hordes of people saying…yeh send them back, they’re not British.
This was obviously going to happen. Very frustrating for electoral reform campaigns when political parties endorse for the sake of improved access to power and not for the benefit of democracy.
Balaclava Barry saying that his mum was intimidated by media who were there because him and the Baldhead Bally Boys tried to intimidate vulnerable people. Too much time on his hands, this alone is a reason to improve unemployment rates.
Just because there is a perception that people hate migrants, does not mean that what we do is not absolutely vital. Solidarity with the RNLI - they do something very different and heroic. Now is the time for us all to kick off together.
