Reform will apparently pledge today that they'd abolish indefinite leave to remain - including retrospectively, to people already granted it. Obviously this is a moral abomination but it is also a practical and legal impossibility.

🚨An important reminder of the trauma faced by asylum seekers.
Not just in fleeing persecution abroad.
Not just in the perilous and desperate journey to these shores.
But by the hatred and vitriol put on them by the right wing in this country for callous political gain.

Given everything that has happened on Twitter/X in the last 2 years it is astonishing that the govt hasn’t even reviewed its use of the platform
Oh, this is good: Lib Dem peer @markpackuk.bsky.social asked the Government "whether they have considered creating a Gov.uk account on Bluesky, and if so, when that consideration took place, and what the outcome was."
The answer reveals that Govt use of X hasn't been reviewed since April 2023...

But Andrea suffered from mental health difficulties for years, earning almost no income. She owed zero tax

I welcome the govt’s embrace of rooftop solar: it's a key way to ensure new homes are truly fit for the future. However the govt must also prioritise energy efficiency and ensure the Future Homes Standard delivers genuinely zero-carbon homes—saving money now and avoiding retrofits later.

The "Mammoth" carbon capture plant in Iceland removes 36,000 tons of CO2 from the air annually.
It is the only functioning plant anywhere near this size.
The world produces 37.01 billion tons of CO2 per year. That's 1 million times as much.
So ... no.
