Erm....I remember the concentration camps were full of jewellery and personal things stolen. This is one bloody awful look for Labour. Who's advising them? An ouija board of Goebbles?
This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

Two years seem like no time at all to try and heal from the trauma that has made you a refugee seeking Sanctuary in 1st place. Yet alone have the energy to achieve all this with the fear of losing everything again.
To stay permanently refugees have to lean the language and establish a long-term career path, and they have to do this on the basis of rolling two-year residence permits. But who is going to invest in you as a worker if you might soon get kicked out?
The UK wants to emulate Denmark’s hardline asylum model – but what does it actually look like?
Denmark has slashed asylum numbers by granting only short-term status and by targeting ‘ghettoes’, which critics say has damaged the country’s values

The heaviest object in the Museum is our Columbian Printing Press, weighing in at 1500kg! Still used regularily, the printing press once belonged to Warrens Printers, who published the Royston Crow Newspaper. This beautiful print by Gavin was made on the press that inspired it.

Today is the day! I am immensely proud to have been a part of this project. It has been an honour and a privilege to help put Dorothy back together, and I can’t wait for people for people to be able to see the result of all of Mary’s hard work on these very special boats.
Three of the log boats discovered during the Must Farm palaeochannel excavations are going on display at Flag Fen Archaeology Park. Nine boats were found with dates ranging from the Early Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

I was let unsupervised into a cheese shop.
(Yep I have also given to the Russell Trust as well, because a night hosting a beer and cheese matching does not come guilt free, as those years on welfare will always cast a long shadow).

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
