Another reminder of why everyone - including other UK media - should avoid treating the Telegraph as a reliable source... 👇👇👇

Earned Settlement plan when implemented will be done via secondary legislation (the rules). There will be no parliamentary scrutiny prior. Once done, it'll be v.hard to politically reverse. It's a watershed moment and will define immigration policy for at least a decade.

Labour: "More children will get to enjoy breakfast clubs." Also Labour: "More children will get to enjoy being deported along with their families."

Everything about the announcement today and earlier this week js horrifying. Total unnecessary cruelty and racism that benefits no one and causes so much harm. Honestly lost for words and so fucking angry right now

Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

A reminder that the Daily Express' last editor but one, apologised for its "anti-immigrant" coverage which he said had meant "I just couldn't sleep" at night. No such sleepless nights for his successor then

This is a disgraceful response and just an outright lie considering all she is doing is pandering to what reform are saying.

Any politician who is taking seriously that the next election might be lost to a far-right populist party, should be doing all they can to strengthen protections for vulnerable people. If this is lost, it will go down in history as a moment where everything collapsed.

The grotesque spectacle of a Labour government — a Labour government! — promoting the idea of stealing from refugees to appease the far right

So the solution is… to join in? I'm afraid the “dark forces” are calling from inside the house at this point.

Vote Labour

This rancid trash understands the significance of Labour's anti-refugee policies.

Is there a Home Secretary who, since 2005, *hasn’t* “introduced” safe return reviews for refugees? Other than Grant Shapps, who only had a few hours. Re-announcing an old, existing and totally pointless policy is very, very tired.

psychologically this destroys any idea of refuge, rest, escape you'd be trying to make a new life in a fundamentally hostile country, itching to discard you totally inhumane, and economically illiterate, however they spin it so just far right appeasement, staring at polls while in actual power

the video goes on and on about illegal immigration and yet the new proposal will target legal migration by confirmed refugees

The impact on people of not having permanent status is immense- labour are essentially saying to refugees this will never be home. Refugees cannot feel safe here. So so cruel and unnecessary and simply to placate a right wing base that will never be satisfied.

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?

According to the Express, the main concern about the war and atrocities in Sudan is potential immigration. The paper also seems dismayed that sandwiches and snacks (i.e., food) are given to asylum seekers. Ads by #Specsavers, #Tesco, #B&Q, #HSBC, #Ryobi, & #Yimbly.

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

it's important to call things what they are "mass deportations of legal residents for cultural homogeneity" is an ethnic cleansing policy

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza. The UK must act to assure their safety. Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.

This is why, despite Labour’s fumbling attempts in the last couple of days to persuade people that they can be relied upon as allies in the fight against fascism, they very obviously can’t

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart. Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point. Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Real "I saw Lord Hermes dancing with the devil at the crossroads" energy. The whole report is that a lawyer, then in private practice, gave free advice to a charity regarding the law. And if anyone avoided deportation as a result? That would be because they were legally entitled not to be deported.

This weekend saw Britain’s largest far-right demonstration with extremist views on full display. Many of us felt unsafe to be in London. The Government’s response has been wholly inadequate. They must condemn these views for what they are, racist and dangerous. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

oh just FUCK off

Fascists aren’t welcome in our streets. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

The speed at which UK politics has been hurtling towards the most appalling destination has been so dizzying it’s easy to forget it’s an outcome which the vast majority reject. This article shows why compromise with those trying to bring it about is not only disgraceful but also foolish & futile

A standing ovation for someone found guilty of tweeting about burning migrants alive. She was sentenced to 31 months for inciting racial hatred. The judge said “You intended to incite serious violence. What you did encouraged activity which threatened or endangered life.” Who’s calling this out?

The EU has specific family reunion rules for refugees, including unaccompanied minors, which are more favourable than the general family reunion rules (and these rules were not amended by the asylum pact). I notice that the Home Secretary made no comparison to that...

So people who’ve fled death & torture are going to be denied the chance to live with their families- who may themselves consequently be exposed to the same dangers- and I’d suggest not a single Reform voter will vote Labour as a result while other Labour voters will abandon them in disgust

Seriously Sky News. Fuck right off apple.news/AdH4yoSnqRjC...

This is true and also, increasingly, I am less and less understanding of a public that indulges these lies - because what is meant by illegal in too many minds is "inhuman". And that belief is encouraged by the media, yes, but at some point citizens have to take responsibility for it too.

WHEN IS IT NOT SMALL BOATS WEEK THO?? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 When is it wealth inequality week, eh?? WHEN DOES THAT COME AROUND?

As Keir Starmer hires former Sun editor David Dinsmore as his new communications chief, a quick reminder of the sorts of communications Dinsmore helped to put out in his former job

Try to imagine any other context where a news presenter describes credible reports that soldiers have been shooting huge numbers of teenagers and children *for sport*, for fun, and a politician gives this reaction.

If you take nonviolent direct action, Labour will brand you a terrorist. If you riot, and try to burn buildings down, Labour will listen to your legitimate concerns. Take note, comrades

Absolutely horrific attack. We have been warning that vigilante mobs are being encouraged by the political narrative. Reform, Tories and Labour are all putting real people in danger. It is fascism that is a danger to the country, not people who have moved to the UK. metro.co.uk/2025/07/15/a...

Remember back in 2022 when we had a demented & useless Home Secretary in Priti Patel who wanted to deploy jet skis to catch migrants in the Channel in nets? LOL so good that the grown ups are in charge now, right? ... Right @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social? What an utter sick joke.

UK, 2025: a country where police break into a place of worship and arrest those inside who are having a meeting and might be planning a non-violent action. The right to peaceful protest is an essential part of a healthy democracy. Governments who crack down on it are governments to be very wary of.

Once again: this will never satisfy the right, incl the Telegraph, for whom attacks on particular groups of migrants are a proxy for opposition to immigration generally, so these measures will simply destroy families & traumatise children, whilst further emboldening the racist right text: next post

It is zero surprise that the effect of pumping migrant families for tens of thousands in immigration fees each disadvantages those families and forces migrant children into poverty. It’s appalling.

BREAKING: We screened a message from migrant parents across Westminster. Hostile immigration rules enforced by this Govt. drive children into poverty. 🔊End child poverty, for EVERY child. Scrap No Recourse to Public Funds. Make sure they know, we won’t let this go. Share now. youtu.be/0d9YPGlFzC0

In a day dedicated to celebrate love, we don't want to forget children who are the biggest and most ignored victims of this policy: from the research with @wearecoram.bsky.social it is possible to see the wide-ranging impacts caused by the rules on children through the quotes from their interviews 🧵

"...The truth is that the only borders that have been opened over recent years are the borders to the sort of rhetoric and politics deployed by Nigel Farage and his fellow travellers on the hard and far right." Brilliant on how Starmer is engaging in "irresponsible and inflammatory politics."
