Settlement being “near automatic” is a huge surprise to me, a person who only recently settled permanently and had to provide evidence of travel and residency over the past decade and paid £4000 for the privilege of just being considered for it. 🤔

The predictable knee jerk incompetence of this government. Instead of addressing the material problems in people lives they scapegoat immigration and make the material problems worse. 50k nurse could quit the UK!

the authors of catastrophic carnage have names: Asia Pacific LNG, BP, Beach Energy, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, ExxonMobil, Hancock Prospecting, Inpex, Jera, Santos, Senex, Shell, Tamboran, TotalEnergies, Woodside etc—we need to end their ability to operate
As marine heatwaves kill 10s of 1000s of fish on the Pilbara coast & causes coral-bleaching at the World Heritage Ningaloo Reef, Woodside Energy reports record production, net profit of $3.6 B & whinges about delays to its Indigenous cultural heritage & planet-destroying North West Shelf extension

It is really getting harder and harder to glibly dismiss the data centre driven growth of demand in the US, which is causing coal growth domestically and impacting the entire planet's emissions
Yes you can present it with a huge denominator to make it look small but that doesn't change the dynamics

Chinese and EU emissions were more or less flat in 2025 (Chinese emissions may have actually declined slightly, but its too early to know for sure: www.carbonbrief.org/...).
US emissions increases drove much of the increase in global emissions in 2025.

Preach!
At no point should discussions around Conservative or Reform mass deportation policies be about the "workability" or "practicality" of such policies. They should be about the inhumanity and immortality of them. They should be about the racism of them. Anything less is normalisation of xenophobia.
