There is so much messed up about this front page Express story today.
There's no suggestion or evidence ANY alcohol or drugs was consumed. This is literally just people dancing.
And buried in the piece: "The footage is believed to have been filmed just before Labour took power in July last year."

The manuscript of scrutiny hearings of 1750 reveals John London, businessman, householder & voter, was Black. (And born in Suffolk).
A non-white racial identity was no bar to voting. In Westminster the franchise was open to all adult (over age 21), British, male ratepayers (‘householders’).

In November 1749, John London walked from his home to vote in the Westminster constituency parliamentary by-election.
As Dr Gillian Williamson explores, this provides the earliest known record of a Black person voting in a British parliamentary election:

Did Labour MPs ever imagine that they would be ending the first period of their first government in more than 14 years with their own Home Secretary feeling the need to publicly deny that she plans to defect to Reform?

Just because it's being reported doesn't make it true. Also they are likely to be on the work or study route so the 20 years doesn't apply. The latter only applies to asylum seekers who came by illegal means & don't transfer to the better routes. I'm sure stories like this are very stressful though.
Applying this to refugees already here self-evidently can't deter them from coming. But it will make their lives harder by prolonging their temporary status, making it harder to get jobs and accommodation and settle down properly. It would be a deliberate anti-integration policy. Why?
The i Paper is reporting that once the changes are brought in, the 20 year route will be applied to refugees who are already here.
I can't over emphasise the level of terror this will cause to our refugee population, and the lack of detail and timescale will make it very difficult to calm nerves.
