they say they wdn't separate families, so presumably can't be that the kids stay without parents. Where this gets complicated is - rn kids born here can become citizens when parents get settled status. But the thrust of Mahmood's reforms is refugees don't ever really settle, for up to 20 yrs. So..

but get to stay in the UK.

Does Labour have any idea what would happen if these children are under 18?

Labour's plan seems incoherent as well as nasty.

Labour's policy appears to be that either:

a) Children, born in the UK, would be deported alongside their parents to a country they have never been to.

This would be deporting people who almost everybody agrees are British.

OR

b) Children, born in the UK would see their parents deported...
Listening to Steve Reed explain on the radio today that he can't say what Mahmood's plan means for kids of people who give birth after they've been granted asylum because that's a hypothetical Q govt can't be expected to answer right now made me think these reforms are going to unravel quite fast

This is year 5 of a two term presidency with an intermission in the middle.

The man in the White House is a bumbling idiot with obvious cognitive issues and it's only going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Trump is hurtling into lame duck territory.

His ratings are off a cliff. It's his second term, and the next generation of Republicans are desperately distancing themselves from him, fearing wipeout.

Nigel Farage, meanwhile, clearly hasn't noticed and thinks it's all going to be happy days ahead.

If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.

The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.

Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA
