"Asylum seekers are unable to travel to any country. Similarly, refugees face lengthy travel restrictions and a lengthy wait to settle in the UK, making them feel unwelcome and unsafe. This constant threat of deportation leaves them feeling like they no longer have a home."

Just off the back of our previous post. When was the last time you had a visit from a politician on your doorstep...and what party?

Oh.
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

How Europhobia crushed Tories, and why Labour must beware
From Thatcher to Brexit, the Tories’ war on Europe turned a political colossus into a crippled party. Labour risks repeating the same mistake

"Simultaneously, developing nations such as Brazil – a country in which Palestine has been recognised as a formal state for over a decade – have stood out as functional allies to the Palestinian cause. But what makes Britain so different from this South American nation on the matter?"
What is Brazil’s message to the UK about the Palestinian genocide now?
Brazil has long championed Palestinian statehood, while the UK’s late recognition raises questions over its commitment to real change in Gaza
