The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

Bogart as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, after losing his temper with the DA, turns to the stenographer and says in a completely neutral tone, “Are you getting all this or am I going too fast for you?” The coolest.
