I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

This really should not need saying, but extrajudicial killings are illegal. Bombing vessels without provocation in other people's waters is illegal. All of this is illegal. Trump needs to be held to account by the international community.

Lam, and the Conservatives, have gone utterly and completely off the deep end. These proposals are further to the right of the old 2010 BNP manifesto, as many others have pointed out, and are utterly incoherent, as well as inhumane. This is not "serious policy". It is seriously xenophobic though.
The Established Church needs to find a voice on this kind of dehumanising depiction of men, women and children who have come to our country, being spilled all over the place to say the only thing that has human value is a salary above £38k and thst any foreigner who ever earns less must get out

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

If Mahmood wanted to tackle declining in trust in politicians a good step would be being honest about immigration. It isn't migration which is the issue, it's the misinformation demonising migrants which surrounds it. Europe's border policies already cost lives.

Unusually I disagree with this @TheEconomist leader on Gaza. Trump’s plan is NOT a ‘radically different vision from the moribund approach under Oslo’. Indeed one of the most striking things about the 20 points is that they move the US towards the classic Oslo vision of the end-state 1/3

The Opposition and the party that’s leading in the polls literally have policies more extreme than the BNP 20 years ago
David is slightly unfair. There is a clear difference here.
Conservatives and Reform plan to forcibly expel large numbers of people who are legal, permanent residents of migrant origin. The BNP proposal is voluntary.

This below is from the 2005 BNP manifesto.
