That’s actually a completely unnecessary level of aggression in Mahmood’s response like wtf
Green MP Carla Denyer accuses Shabana Mahmood of trying to "out Reform Reform" and says "toxic racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants" are to blame for "tearing our country apart" not migrants.
Mahmood: "I couldn't care less what any other political party has to say about these matters"

The Government inherited an asylum system in meltdown, and had managed to at least get cases being processed again while ending the madness of the Rwanda plan. But the policies being announced today undermine all of that, making it harder for refugees to integrate and contribute to their communities

People are right to be frustrated with the asylum system, but stoking division won’t fix it.

I can't begin to explain how painful it is to see the practices of the Danish SocDem become the guiding light for Labour.
Coupled with the fact that Labour is doing a really poor job at it. Seems like there is a LOT of fog in the North Sea and they can only see a blurry outline and vague concepts.

There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.
Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.
