A disgusting racist trope that unfortunately is as old as the hills.
This is dangerous and incendiary stuff and when it kicks off we hold the likes of Jenrick to account.

There are many, many recent moments that I'd like to see all the people professing to be deeply outraged by Bob Vylan comment on. From columnists & politicians to the Chief Rabbi. (Perhaps they have but I can't find any...)
I'd probably start with this one.

It's quite simple.
You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out.
The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

In a functional country this shit would be enough to end a Governent.
Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense.

Trump’s Horrifying Removal of Man in “Error” Takes an Even Darker Turn
The Trump administration could allow Kilmar Abrego Garcia back into the U.S. and try to deport him through proper channels. So why won’t it even do that?

It has been more than a month since we pointed out that the government was contradicting itself over its denial of genocide in Gaza.
We have still not received a response.
We know why: the government wants to hide its complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary say there is no genocide in Gaza.
It is now clear this contradicts the government's own "long-standing policy" outlined below. When will they retract their denial of genocide?

I find it hard to believe that the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk and reactivation of missile salvoes from its Black Sea Fleet wasn’t planned with the expectation Trump would blind Ukraine by cutting off intelligence and satellite reconnaissance

PM keeps saying cutting aid budget was a “hard decision”. Rubbish, it was an easy cowardly decision - those feeling impacts are 1000s of miles away & won’t trouble him. A harder decision might have been to stand up to vested interests who oppose a wealth tax - but it would’ve been right thing to do
Caroline Lucas, "A hard choice for Starmer would be a wealth tax"

Dear Leon. My week:
- Took Ketamine
- Got called a deadbeat dad by one of the four mums of my 13 children
- took more Ketamine
- Slurred at Sharon from Accounts that “I have become Meme”
- Ran round office brandishing chainsaw screaming incoherently
- Was tazered.
That is all.

Hardly worth debunking this xenophobic garbage from Telegraph.
FWIW they seem to to have taken the (implausible) upper bound of @pewresearch.org's old, completely debunked estimate (1.2 m) and then assigning a % of those to London.
And then got London's actual population wrong!
