Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

Why is it that all this government and several of the opposition parties seemingly have to offer is 'tough, tough, tough' on everything? What happened to empathy and compassion? What happened to working hard to make as many people's lives as possible better?

Doesn’t matter. “Starmer and Mahmood wanted to take jewellery from asylum seekers” is a mark those two will never be able to wash off and which the party as a whole will have to put in onerous work to remove.
My guess is they will end up u-turning on the jewellery thing (you can already see it being softening in interviews) and possibly the 20 years (which is way longer than Denmark).

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

It appears that our Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has been inspired by Kirsti Noem - and finds her to have an “under appreciated intellect and eye for detail” and is now following her lead.
Isn’t that just utterly horrifying.
Of all Starmer’s picks for cabinet, she has to be the worst.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Yeah, they've done a lot of good stuff and it's buried beneath all the media hatebait on immigration. But now they're leaning into it, tacking with it, applauded by the most miserable joyless fucking people on earth and I reckon this is the bleakest I've ever felt about a Labour government...

Illegal migration isn't tearing this country apart, but our obsession with it is. It's an obsession fuelled by our media and politicians. Both profit from blowing the problem out of all proportion. It's been happening for decades, but never more so than now

Took Herbie on a new walk through the marshes today. Didn't realise a train line ran along the edge. Seems Herbie has never heard a train before & he was a bit concerned. Not the nicest weather, but a sausage roll in a steamed up car seemed to help.

My hokey, hastily thought out opinion on Celebrity Traitors
People shouldn't fear diversity. Not just of race and sexuality though, but of education, skillset, personality type, ambition, financial leverage, cultural taste, sense of humour. Aspiring to monoculture is to waste the richness of life.
