Retired anaesthetist, forest dog walker and not very good blues guitarist. Pro sanity, so anti Trump, Musk, Tory, Reform. Grandad to 4, so far.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media.

Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members.

Yet up and down the country - Greens are also winning elections.

Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉

This is not what most people who voted either directly or tactically to put Labour into power last year wanted, expected, or will be happy with.

Not in my name.
This is an element of the migration/asylum plans I suspect quite a few Labour MPs will find hardest to sign up to: if you come to the UK as a refugee you can never make your life here, but only ever exist in a state of limbo.
Question on Monday

Is it now your principle that every Ukranian refugee in Britain should leave, must leave once it is safe + that they will all be made to leave?

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

GB News hosting Trumplethinskin so he can have a fannywobble about Panorama is the most utterly deranged media crossover of the year and is absolutely peak 2025.

Reader Discretion - I went sweary.
Trumplethinskin Goes After the BBC - Because Facts Keep Hurting His Feelings
The man who demanded people "fight like hell" now insists the real injury was a slightly compressed quote on Panorama.

The only way to defeat extremism is to be radical; radically honest and determined. Not take this shit any more. Tell people the truth. Why we need immigration. Why Brexit is a shitheap. Why our public services can’t cope. Why our economy is stuck…
Anything other than that, Nigel is laughing at you.

Interesting observation from @zackpolanski.bsky.social separating courageous journalism esp war zones & investigative reporting vs the class of political talking heads & columnists amplifying division and rage. Also on media ownership. Big mistake of last Labour Gov was not taking this head on.

Because, again, they *want* to do crackdowns, flag-fucking, migration terror, ugly culture war squealing, belligerent war speeches and scything cuts to benefits, and these are the voters you have to impress and win over to do that in perpetuity. Also, they think libs and progressives are arseholes.

Here's Keir Starmer before the general election promising Ukrainian refugees that he will stand with them "as long as it takes".

Now his Government's own policy is that "the era of permanent protection [for refugees] is over"
