If all refugees and asylum seekers have to be able to speak English to A level standard to be able to remain in the UK, shouldn't we set the same standard for people who were born here?

Will someone tell the Orange Felon that Gaza is currently unsafe, with the IDF still killing people? Or will he now lose interest again?

So, forgive my cynicism, but how many believe there is no connection whatsoever between the announcement of the Gaza peace deal today and the announcement tomorrow of the Nobel Peace Prize. Nothing Trump does is done for the benefit of others. Sorry. Would love to be wrong, but....

A source within MI6 has revealed that MI6 are unhappy with the Palestine Action ban because they are not terrorists and the drain on staff is making the UK more vulnerable to actual terrorist attacks.
End the ridiculous ban.

Dear God! Please, please, don't give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. It will utterly devalue it for past and future recipients. This is the ONLY reason he is pushing his 'plan'.

So. Terrible loss of life in the Afghanistan earthquake, and the Taliban need help. I say let's give it to them. Flood the country with aid workers. Shame these misogynistic men and show them what real humanity is. Interested to hear some reactions.

Just driven through several old mining areas in our local area. We saw 3 English flags on adjacent lamp posts and a single Union Jack. Not sure about this national surge in flags that Fartage and his right wing nutters are describing.

@iolowilliams.bsky.social Off to South Wales for a weeks birding. Planning to visit our old house in Clyne. Trouble is, BBC seem to have removed the episode of Iolo's Valleys covering the Neath Valley! Any idea where we could watch it? So many good memories.

The rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and the media's fawning over Farage pose a huge challenge for the rest of us.
A good first step would be some sensible comms (like this) from Government in response. Not blathering on about 'legitimate concerns' and further stoking fears about asylum-seekers.

I’ve been wondering whether Farage’s supporters would still vote for his policy to send all asylum seekers back to where they came from even if they knew that they’d get killed. Sadly I’ve concluded that they would😢

Starmer tried to be Reform – and it’s backfired. Reform is surging. If Labour wants any chance at the next election, it must start being Labour again. That means confronting the Brexit disaster and offering a real alternative, not chasing Farage’s shadow.

Do your homework, we all need the ECHR! Farage wants out of it based on immigration, but YOUR rights will be affected too! 69 million peoples human rights taken away to stop 35.000 immigrants!
What's his actual agenda? Oh and only 4% of all immigrants are illegal....

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

Bloody hell. Just watching The West Wing episode about a fictional war between India and Pakistan. The adviser's comment saying their decision making is unclear and often irrational could be said of the current situation with the Orange Felon with his finger on the nuclear button. God help us all!
