Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.
This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

Marginally better from Scotland. The thing is, the defence is the weakest part of this Greek team.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

in 2016 a woman sued him for raping her when she was 13. The day after he was elected President of the U.S. she dropped her case.

Four years is long enough. It is time for the Scottish Government to make good on its promise of reduced class contact hours. Ballots are landing on door mats. Vote YES YES and get them posted. #yesyes #SUQE @eisunion.bsky.social
