To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

CNN reports that only 2% of the 600+ people arrested without probable cause or warrants in the Chicagoland area in violation of a standing court order had any criminal records at all.
The idea that these are the worst people on the planet only makes sense if you see them as Nazis saw Jews in 1940.

Tommy Robinson is claiming credit for the language/policy being used by the Labour government (about deporting people found to be refugees once their home country is deemed safe)

This by Mahmood is frankly not only disgusting, but also massively disingenuous. It equates seeking asylum with illegality, there's nothing illegal about seeking asylum no matter the route. It ignores that Labour's policies penalise those in need of protection, and plays to hard right rhetoric.
On Monday, Shabana Mahmood will announce an overhaul of the asylum system, here’s why ⬇️

The underlying vision is keeping Starmer in No 10. That’s it. They’re so utterly drunk on the polls and focus groups they’re just ignoring basic politics and government.
With the ending of permanent asylum, taxes on foreign students, two U-turns on income tax, a refusal to listen to business concerns about hiring costs, again I ask ‘who are Labour for?’ What is the vision underlying all these choices other than responding to last week’s polls?

How very Labour that the interests of private investment firms outweighing the interests of disabled children. If the chancellor wanted to be bold she could win an easy headline, but that wouldn’t get her a golden retirement now, would it? Weak, and hateful.

The "answer" to the pressure on the SEND system does involve better funding, better training and better systems. It does not, and must not, involve making it harder for children to access support.
