We've just shared a powerful new story on our website about the transformative impact of Community Sponsorship—both for the families being welcomed and the communities opening their doors. Check it out now! https://bit.ly/3NdzIvx

A few months ago Chris Philp called me “unhinged” in a Telegraph article about a video I made. In it I warned about the brutality of ICE, & argued those who appease Trump would open the door to Fascism here too. I was called ‘hysterical’. I have 0 regrets about that message.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The death of a legal observer in Minnesota by ICE is a warning to the UK in so many ways. We’re tying ourselves to a violent, corrupt, racist nation which does not care about its citizens. Reform believes in its model, Labour is appeasing it. It is the public who will suffer.

So sad to hear about this. Richard was one of the first people I met and worked with on migration and he was such a lovely person. Donate to Hummingbird Project in his memory, they are a brilliant organisation.

This is quite simple strategy used in Russia too. When a capital feels unstable, the rest of the country feels unstable. Anyone defending that capital looks like out of touch/elite. Blame the foreigners. Divide and conquer through instability and fear.

My entire feed is people of all different types of political value system absolutely shitting on Keir Starmer and his decisions. Bodes well for the future of the UK that the Labour party is about to crumble as hard as the Tories have.

Mike Tapp says he’s “really happy” about US actions in Venezuela Vomit inducing before nonsense abt asylum even starts. Pressed again & again on how rights of vulnerable ppl will be protected under his latest plans (kudos for once to #r4today presenter for that) he had nothing.

Right. The direction of travel is the most insidious.

My hot take is that there is absolutely no point using the word "compassion" in campaigning for change. Compassion is a relative concept, so is morality, so is fairness. You are only speaking to the people who agree with your version and it isn't particularly motivating so what is the point.

And this is why Shabana Mahmood is making a huge mistake with her own horrendous immigration policies. She’s only creating space for people to say none of us belong.

I am horrified by the antisemitic mass shooting at Bondi Beach, targeting Jewish people as they came together for Hannukah. My thoughts and prayers are with those killed, injured, and Jewish communities around the world, who are grieving when they should have been celebrating.

Sick of constant demonisation of migrants on #bbcqt & failed cruelty being the only answer from spineless politicians? Look out for my report launching at 11am with 9 evidence-backed proposals to ACTUALLY fix the immigration system! With @anothereurope.bsky.social & @fesonline.bsky.social 👀👀👀

CORREEEECCCCTTTTTTTTT

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat" "Today we have 46,000 a year" "And do you know why?" "Brexit" "Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage" *audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

The People's Prince Polanski was the only one talking sense on immigration on last night's question time. Honest about the fact that we need immigration and that migrants are in no way responsible for the economic problems in the country. Well done @zackpolanski.bsky.social

logged on to see everyone talking about chess championships and reminded what a sad little country we live in, and how unbelievably out of touch every convo about Westminster is.

If you're trying to get your head round Mahmood's idiotic "earned settlement" proposals that aim to keep refugees in limbo 20 years, & offer a sliding scale of crulety to all immigrants based on their pay packet, this is a great, clear explainer by @praxisprojects.bsky.social & @gmiau.bsky.social

We've moved from vote Labour as the only way to stop Farage to vote Farage as the only way to stop Tommy Robinson (I presume?). While each of those parties tries to appease the other by doing what each other wants anyway. What a wreck.

Exactly right - a shame we don't listen to the actual experts who understand immigration and the economy.

We rely on migration for the economy and several industries, decrease that and the economy is worse. A worsening economy means worse conditions. Unhappy public looks for someone to blame. Politicians tell them it's migrants. And so we end up in a never ending loop while everything gets worse.

The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/new-asylum...

The proposed settlement changes are really difficult to understand and very stressful if you or someone you know is a migrant. Read our explainer below so you can stay up to date with what's happening.

Shabana Mahmood will read this and think "great idea! we should do that!"

Sometimes wonder if what the UK needs is a thinktank that doesn't do any new research, it just repeats obviously true statements that people try to ignore because they're inconvenient. International students cross-subsidise home students. Your pension is paid for out of general taxation.

At least 160,000 people have been granted refugee status over the past five years. It now seems they are intended to be caught by the Government’s plans to make refugees wait up to 20 years for settlement - even for those just months away from ILR www.thetimes.com/article/6f83...

Remember a significant proportion of Labour's proposals on immigration (not asylum) was on migrants needing to learn English (as if they don't already). They highlighted migrants as a problem, now the far-right know where to target them. So racist, so stupid.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/

Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War 3 years - if you're earning £125k+ 15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

A new generation of fascists are fusing combat training with extremist ideology. HOPE not hate investigates the Midlands chapter of the secretive Active Club network, and exposes the figures driving its expansion. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/10/30/a...

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.

You know what politicians simply must stop doing is saying things are "fairer" when they are actually cataclysmic to people AND to the ECONOMY.

VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

The delays are caused by decades of underfunding of the criminal justice system. Blaming it on defendants is obscene. Telling the quotes here referring to 'criminals' etc. presuppose the accused are guilty & the trial process an inconvenience standing in the way of locking them up.

🚨Making it harder for migrants to settle in the UK is yet another act of economic vandalism🚨 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I live by myself and got a dishwasher as a treat to me. And guys, the way I have been loading it with no accountability. It’s diabolical. If anyone could see it, it’s probably punishable by law.

Truly fed up of people saying that the way to prevent a huge drift to the far-right is to keep Labour in govt. Their migration polices ARE far-right populist and make way for worse. Trad politics are done. Lab/Tories are done. The next election will not be fought how we've experienced them to date.

Stealing refugees' jewellery won't make anyone's life better. Deporting children won't make anyone's life better. Making people wait 20 years to settle won't make anyone's life better. If Government chooses hostility over helping communities, more division and racism are the only possible results.

Go on Shabana. Learn from Denmark how to lose elections girl. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

1. Farage’s ideas have form for crashing the economy/increasing discrimination 2. Labour intro Farage’s ideas and make it their responsibility. 3. When everyone is having a bad time, they won’t vote for the people/parties who made them have a bad time. Is this not logical???

What does this echo? Which other countries took jewellery/valuables off people they decided didn't belong? "Alex Norris, a Home Office minister, has confirmed that refugees could have jewellery or other valuables taken to pay for the costs of processing their cases."

📢 @minnierahman.bsky.social “Stripping migrants of basic human rights isn’t 'reform', it’s the first step down a dangerous slope. Today it’s migrants. Tomorrow it’s anyone who becomes politically inconvenient”. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

It’s actually mad that me and the far-right have exactly the same take. No notes.

I say once again, apropos of nothing, Mahmood has a majority of 3500. The Greens got this much behind the independent who is being done for fraud. A strong pro-Gaza, probably Muslim candidate, would be a good move for the Greens to challenge.

Labour is a “godsend” for Farage says the far-right.

As a Muslim, Asian, Brummie. Who grew up right near her constituency. It’s a hell no from me.

Another day another migration story. Terrifying in here tho is the reform of the ECHR she will attempt. This will be Labour's biggest and most dangerous mistake, I GUARANTEE. It will set up the infrastructure for a Reform govt. to dismantle all our protections. news.sky.com/story/home-s...
