Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.

This is disgusting. It means people granted asylum will constantly be living with uncertainty, never feeling able to rebuild their lives. On a practical level, it also surely means more work and money, if claims are constantly being reassessed. A repugnant idea.

See the 🧵 for an insight into just how locked into a fictitious past that Your Party is - nothing like lauding coal in a climate crisis, showing brown rivers in a water pollution crisis, and using AI rather than an artist (actual labour, not a billionaire's tech slop).
Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

This won’t stop people seeking protection in the UK. It will make it harder for refugees to rebuild their lives, feel secure and contribute to their communities. It will create a load more work for the Home Office, reviewing claims every three years.

I can only hope that Mahmood doesn't rise any further post-Starmer, and that Blue Labour acolytes lose traction. They're discrediting any credibility of a Labour government. In the past, UK aid could cover some bad domestic policy. Now? Not even a fig leaf left.
