This is sounding very Nazi now. That's what they did to the Jews during the Holocaust is this where they are now treating asylum seekers as sub-human? So Labour wants to be Nazis now. Don't tell them they aren't as bad as the Tories or Reform. #StarmerOut #LabourNazis
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

The only reason Trump now supports releasing the Epstein files is that he thinks his name has been now removed from them by his lackeys. My prediction: his name will not appear in them, and the investigation into how it was removed will begin.

Well done to the ABC lady reporter who asked Trump the sort of questions that reporters should ask, instead of sucking up to him.
She was the only real journalist in the room and shamed every single man in that room, including a so called President and Prince.

Labour’s draconian crackdown against asylum seekers has pushed Number Ten's circular firing squad off the front pages along with the hokey Cokey budget. But will it push left leaning voters further away fm Labour & validate Reform’s empathy-crushing agenda? Yes. Listen lesleyriddoch.com/podcast

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻

Engerland win a match and qualify for the World Cup: headline news. Scotland do it, for the first time in 28 years, and it is in small type, five stories down, on the Grauniad front page. A union of equals.

Slightly biased of me, as I wrote it, but this statement from @migrantvoice.bsky.social sums up so many of the issues with Labour's hostile anti-immigration/asylum policies, not just those announced yesterday. They don't just harm migrants, they also reinforce and exacerbate racism and division.
The most recent attack on the rights and dignity of those who have come to this country seeking asylum are not isolated. They form part of a wider, and dangerous, cycle of hostility and abuse against migrants. Read our response to these attacks here👇

I wonder if Shabana has put as much effort into creating safe and legal routes for people wanting to come to the UK.
Probably not 🤔

Today has been a massive victory for anti-migrant voices.

Not only is Labour doing 90% of what they want, but they're also making it much easier for them to get the remaining 10% later

Wow. A Labour peer who actually remembers what Labour used to stand for.
It can't be long surely before Stuhrmer rejects him from the party.

A Liebour MP now on BBC R4 justifying deporting a child born here to refugee parents by saying children have died on small boats coming here. Utterly disgusting. Utterly anti-Socialist.
