If you're trying to get your head round Mahmood's idiotic "earned settlement" proposals that aim to keep refugees in limbo 20 years, & offer a sliding scale of crulety to all immigrants based on their pay packet, this is a great, clear explainer by @praxisprojects.bsky.social & @gmiau.bsky.social

So how exactly are they meant to get to them? Many are placed in areas without accessible transport links. They can't afford to pay for journeys themselves because of how little support they get.
Yet again Labour choosing to pander to Reform than think of consequences.

New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.
Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

The Marshall Islands Just Quietly Implemented the First National Universal Basic Income (UBI)
How the Marshall Islands built the first nationwide universal basic income, funded by a US-capitalized Compact Trust Fund, and what it means for UBI everywhere.

He’s have an inconvenient journalist chopped up with a bone saw in a nanosecond if he could.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

The assumption that we have to deter asylum seekers is never questioned.
The reasons they have left their countries are hardly even considered.

Absolutely right from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social one of the key tactics of online disinformation is to try deny how interconnected issues are; and to push a partisan “one truth” worldview.

Not particularly. Lots of people have been claiming that, but polling doesn't quite tell the same story. The Social Democrats are polling at about 21%, but they have a very different political system, and more coalition governments, so it is wrong to try and claim they have "held back the far right"

This is flat out bollocks by the Home Secretary. Nobody is seeking asylum in UK for the joy of being crammed into an overcrowded and squalid hotel and forced to eat inedible food, which is the case for many hotels. The UK is not "generous" and it's not a prime destination for people seeking asylum.

Deep breath, once more for those at the back, seeking asylum is not illegal. No matter route used, which considering Labour has closed pretty much all the last remaining alternatives means irregular ones.
Anti-immigration sentiments are stoked by politicians like Mahmood, not people seeking safety.

It is telling how many far right talking heads are celebrating Labour's anti-asylum policies. This is where we are at though. For all the "political grey areas" there may be, when it comes to human rights, not just for migrants, Labour has sided firmly with the far right.

Today is not the day to argue "oh so you want Reform to win then" as an argument for Labour's indefensible and inhumane anti-asylum policies. At least be honest and own that you're defending racist policies promoted with genuinely far right talking points. Don't try and pretend this is "progressive"
