I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”
If they support them they will too.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

The line should have been drawn at Labour's ongoing support for a genocide. They don't value human life unless it's "economically productive". it's not a "communication issue", it's a fascist issue
There is no evidence that stripping refugees' rights one by one will have any impact on people crossing the channel.
Taking jewellery from refugees is akin to painting over murals for refugee children.
These repugnant ‘deterrents’ did not work for the Tories, and they won't work for us.

Hey Labour
Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?
We're still over here 👋

Sweden, May not be 'Socialist' in the true sense of the word, But it IS 'Socially democratic', With society, community & people at the heart of local decisions who actually care for their own standards.
It is a political choice to put your people first & the care of how your country is being run.

There is NO SUCH THING as one homogenous body of people who all think the same thing. And a government elected on 33% of the vote on a manifesto they have largely abandoned have NO right to speak for anyone else.
