First of many no doubt, unless the govt reverses this unlawful policy. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Why is this not the top UK news story today?

Appalling. This is what happens when refugees try to come to the UK via official schemes rather than on small boats or hidden in lorries. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maybe if Unison puts its money where its mouth is & stops donating to and endorsing Labour, we might get somewhere. At the moment, immigration policy seems to be being dictated by Reform supporters. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Coming to the UK to claim asylum is a right protected in international law, and therefore any notion of illegality is legally wrong. Also, denying citizenship would leave a lot of refugees stateless, in direct contravention of the Convention on Statelessness 1954 to which the UK is a signatory. (1)

A vote for The Green Party is never wasted. 1) Every Green vote at a General Election gives us a tiny amount of money towards paying for a Parliamentary office with staff to help us 2) Every Green vote is an indicator to the other parties that the environment is important. 3) And we win seats!

For goodness sake! Do those in charge of the Home Office wake up in the morning and decide to make people's lives even more unbearable just for the hell of it? #refugeeswelcome www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

Any Consumer Law bods on here? Are companies not required to have a published complaints policy?

Thing is, why are they gravitating to Reform and not a left wing alternative like the Greens? Are people that easily led by divisive rhetoric?

With your help, Gaie Delap has at last been released. Thank you. goodlaw.social/3g4v

If you still think Labour is the main alternative to the Tories, think again. Socialist parties do not have secret meetings with big business about deregulation. Next election, vote for a real alternative to capitalist, laissez faire culture, VOTE GREEN.

Those pardons going well then. Trump will shortly be telling us that US police are woke.

This is a completely bonkers situation. My suggestion (and it would take a bit of time, energy and new legislation to achieve) would be to introduce an interim layer of independent decision makers between the HO and the IAT who would look at the papers only (to make it quicker) and 🧵

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay🕯️ On this pivotal day in 1945, a gleam of light appeared in the darkest place on earth. That light grew brighter as good people around the world worked to try to ensure that the horrors of Auschwitz were never repeated. 🔗 lnkd.in/ddJXt-V3

These are my grandparents. On the day my grandmother left Germany for England on a domestic visa, my grandfather, too old to get a visa, crossed illegally into Belgium and was later murdered in Auschwitz. #HMD2025 reminds us why we need #saferoutes for those fleeing persecution - Debora Singer

Or even if you don't wear one, put one on a man. Or indeed, maybe men could put one on themselves!

When is the govt going to regulate SEN law advisers in the same way it regulates immigration consultants? Have just seen yet another unqualified SEN "expert" advertising their services in local FB group.

Two-party politics is over. Which way do you want to turn next? youtu.be/cPn3U96YBHE?...

If like me you knew Pia at Uni or know her from somewhere else you will know what a lovely person she is. Please donate if you are able, because the immunotherapy she needs is not available on the NZ health system for stage 2 cancer. givealittle.co.nz/cause/help-p...

Evidently there are people who still think it's justifiable to kill children because Hamas (might have) stored weaponry in schools and hospitals. Children are protected by the Geneva Conventions of 1949 & Additional Protocols of 1977, even if they actively take part in hostilities. Please share.
