Listening to Steve Reed explain on the radio today that he can't say what Mahmood's plan means for kids of people who give birth after they've been granted asylum because that's a hypothetical Q govt can't be expected to answer right now made me think these reforms are going to unravel quite fast

If the objective is to stop the cross-Channel trade in people, the solution is to offer a safe route from France.
That is not the real objective. Governments just want to stop the people.

How to lose friends and alienate people.
Lots of Labour MPs asking Mahmood tonight to rule out child detention. She won’t rule it out. That’s because forced removals of families will mean children in detention for periods.
Home Office ruling out deportation of lone minors but the changes will certainly mean more detention of children.

As things stand I'll never vote Labour again.
Starmer's "red lines" combined with Mahmood's Priti Patel / Badenoch tribute act means I doubt I'll ever trust Labour enough to actually vote for them again.
Labour appear intent on being as repulsive as possible to pro-EU voters.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
