The Home Office could do their bit by making the move-on period for newly recognised refugees 56 days. Since the 56 day pilot was “paused”, the return to 28 days is simply not long enough for people to find new accommodation.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose. Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Not only does the UK government waste vast sums of money on demonising those seeking asylum, now it appears that they are complicit in quite a number needing it in the first place. Choosing to save money over a genocide, again. #r4today www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

A note to politicians hoping to emulate Mamdani’s social media strategy: without the right policies, it’s pointless | Rohan Sathyamoorthy

The “Yellow Line” splitting Gaza in two is supposed to be temporary under the terms of Trump’s “peace” plan and the ceasefire agreement. But the fact that those terms were left intentionally vague suggests that the partition of Gaza was the point. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/ther... #Palestine #Israel

If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes. Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it. open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Yeah - Accountability Archive has around 90,000 discrete, incredibly well stored items of such incriminating data because its founders knew that this would happen and digital data is fragile.
