Interesting report - Britain is at risk of flooding, parts of the country may need to be abandoned. Reform, the party with its finger so very much on the pulse - they abandoned the flood defence committee of Lincolnshire County Council - as soon as they won control it last year

The misconceived notion that the way to deal with the backlog of asylum claims is to duplicate the system so as to have exit assessments too.

In essence: addressing the problem of a queue by forming another queue, just as long.

Daft, as well as cruelly unsettling.

True but imagine grabbing an item of jewellery given to you by your grandmother as you leave only to have it snatched from you by those who you hoped would protect you? Will they be snatching wedding rings from their outstretched hands?! How can Labour can do this?

Most asylum seekers arrive with their valuables long lost in bombed or abandoned homes, stolen, or sold to afford the dangerous clandestine passage to safety

The real thing of value to be snatched from refugees under these proposals is far more painful: their families & futures

Britain is an object lesson in how poorly arranged democracies can succumb to destructive positive feedback. The people who ensure a stagnant economy via Brexit enjoy political dividends blaming immigrants for the consequences of that very stagnation.

(US democracy is arranged at least as poorly.)

She should put that on her CV - What a nasty little sh*t he is!
as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

He's like the rather unappealing and dim kid in a class who shows off constantly and is always the last to be picked for a team.
Every post is such a window on his psychology. The desperate need to be seen to be important speaks volumes about what shaped him.

So a doctor escapes the horrors of Sudan and gains this two year asylum. He or she falls in love, gets married and starts a family. Every two years they have the trauma of possibly being deported. How do they get a mortgage? What happens to the partner and the kids if they are deported? Their job?
Amnesty International has slammed Labour’s “divisive and cruel” asylum crackdown, warning that it marks a dangerous drift toward treating fundamental human rights as optional depending on who you are.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.
