This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

London is also diverse. It's hugely multicultural, and it's a largely tolerant and welcoming place.
Sure it has it's problems and the housing crisis is a big one.
But the haters don't hate this city because of that.
They hate it because it stands as living proof that multiculturalism works.

Levels of destruction across #Gaza are harrowing.
According to the United Nations Satellite Centre, around 81% of all structures in Gaza are damaged.
Many buildings are at risk of collapse, especially given the imminent start of winter and rain.
UNRWA is helping families prepare for winter.

Starting the day with this powerful Nelson Mandela quote:
“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”
Isn’t that what it’s all about? The choices we have to make. And what moves us to make them.

Winter rains in #Gaza are making conditions even more desperate.
Families taking shelter anywhere they can, including in makeshift tents.
Shelter supplies are urgently needed. UNRWA has those supplies to help people get through winter.
Let us bring them in.

The UK cannot claim ignorance. British-made arms are being found in Sudan, where mass atrocities are unfolding.
I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary urging an immediate suspension of all arms exports to the UAE and urgent diplomatic action to stop the violence:

Washington State has reported a suspected human H5N1 case with no cattle exposure likely bird-linked (or from contaminated milk).
The patient is severely ill in hospital.
Clade pending (D1 vs B3). CDC confirmation awaited.
If confirmed, it will be Washington’s first H5N1 case of 2025.
