Good to see this - which should never have happened in the first place - come to an end.

This one minor piece of legislation will have a much bigger practical impact on people's lives - as well as being almost universally popular - than any amount of trying to dehumanise immigrants. But among all the government's hatemongering, it will go unnoticed. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/n...

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech” After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls” And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.
