Setting aside the merits of migration, getting it down isn't some massive achievement when the officials who issue visas work for you.
You can just order them to issue fewer visas.
It's a tap you control, why are you bragging about turning it?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

UK has a bunch of problems.
Migration is a politically unpopular way to address many of them.
The UK government wants everyone to throw them a nice little flag shaggy parade for choosing not to use it - while doing nothing else to fix the problems.

Demikhov was a pioneer of heart surgery. But thanks to his other, unusual, "interests", that hardly ever gets brought up.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.
Get fucked.

I do not understand those still attempting to defend Labour. Every day the gap between them and Reform, on immigration, trans and non-binary rights, disabled individuals etc shrinks. Human rights have to apply to everyone or they end up applying to no-one. #r4today

Sickening rhetoric by Home Secretary. Denying access to human rights isn't "protecting the public". This is Labour further demonising those seeking asylum in language very reminiscent of the far right. Yes, some break the law, so should be prosecuted within the law. Removing rights is not the answer
