BUT this is not the end. Exploration can go ahead, but there are several more approval stages before oil can be produced. The judge has stressed the govt MUST properly account for ocean harms at every step, & that this verdict does not mean oil production should go ahead ❌🔽

🚨 BREAKING: The 28 oil & gas exploration licences we legally challenged have just been ruled lawful by the High Court. This means exploration can go ahead, despite 3/4 of the licences sitting inside marine PROTECTED areas - wildlife havens home to porpoises, puffins & seals 🐬

It is not unreasonable to answer “yes”
Why do they want us to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)?
The Government moots leaving the ECHR as a pragmatic solution to an immigration “crisis”, but is there a more sinister motive behind the push?

Before algorithms, there was old fashioned bias
Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news.
Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters
Down by 140k isn't thought to be.
Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

That's 13% of them.

‘Malcolm’, York from the Outsiders project. He said he became homeless 15 years ago when the police raided the B&B where he was living. They closed it down and threw everyone out with no arrangements for alternative accommodation, so he became homeless and has been homeless ever since.

Hit that nail on the head
Some quick pointers for the government
🚨Asylum seekers are not, by any measure, "illegal migrants"
🚨The latest immigration stats have pretty much nothing to do with this government
🚨It's a genuinely weird flex to boast about making the country you govern less attractive
