I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

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.

Our whole political order depends on our ability to complain, to criticize, to speak truth to power, and to question authority.
Never forget how the free speech brigade, once in control of our peak institutions, immediately suppressed any criticism of the most powerful people in the world.

So depressing. When people voted for change I really don't think that it was to the right of Cruella Braverman
Labour's slap dash approach to asylum policy - specifically, halving the the time limit for newly accepted refugees to leave Home Office accommodation - is leaving people at risk of homelessness, exploitation and far-right violence
