For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

Rachel Johnson defending her brother on @lbc.co.uk currently just blamed the "statest establishment" for the failures.

"He's getting all the blame and none of the credit" and "he did his best."

Really Rachel? Well his best was appalling. This wasn't a gold club tombola. It was a pandemic.

The demonisation of asylum seekers has to stop.

@tajali1.bsky.social: "Some of the rhetoric around asylum seekers is dangerous."

"And what we're seeing now is racist violence, not just directed at asylum seekers, but ethnic minority communities across the country."

Tories completed 4 manifesto pledges from 2019-2024.
Let that sink in,4.
And they have the cheek to bang on about Labour not getting on with the job.

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

Do these deportations extend to the grandchildren of migrants who came to the UK to escape persecution (like herself)?
A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

The misogyny in the comments is off the scale. It's a sport requiring the ability to throw 'arrows' at a target board, not a contest of physical prowess except over time. Yet some men have a problem with that 🤷🏾‍♀️

And naive people want to claim that Labour and the Tories are the same...
Tories have announced plans for £47bn annual public spending cuts to pay for tax cuts & tax rebates.

This means:

• 67% cut (£7bn) to international development
• 25% cut (£8bn) to civil servant costs meaning a quarter of jobs could be lost
• £32bn cuts to the welfare budget

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.
