The EUs new tethered bottle cap ruling will remind brexiters, everytime they open a bottle, how pointless their brexit vote was.
Brexit GB has to adhere to EU standards now with no MEPs to represent them.

The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Our lived experience and work with spouse-visa applicants show how exclusionary and often racist the immigration system is.
We worry the Government’s harsher tone reflects global right-wing pressure and emboldened far-right ideas rooted in racial hierarchy.

Asked how happy Keir Starmer is that Tommy Robinson is now backing his asylum plans, his spokesman replies that "the public can tell that the pace and scale of illegal immigration is out of control..."
"We must restore order... or we will lose public consent for giving refuge at all".

Another Labour MP goes public with concerns.
A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.
It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.
This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

Dehumanising asylum seekers is normalised to the point where this isn't a fringe opinion apparently 🤬
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT
