This feels like a real, are we the baddies, moment for the people in the Labour Party who still consider themselves soft left
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

When I was an undergrad, one of my close friends was a refugee who had been *tortured* by a fascist military regime a few years earlier, WHILE SHE WAS STILL A CHILD.
The idea that refugees are somehow after a 'golden ticket' is as offensive as it is untrue.
Mahmoud disgusts me.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Sometimes I feel that a central aspect of transphobic behaviour is a desire to dominate or take over certain spaces.
During the two days of the hearing, the court staff allowed me to use the witness box, so I took my notes there.
On the second afternoon, Ms Tribunal Tweets simply took my seat.

Wes Streeting has received £225k from private healthcare donors in the past year and I just don't think my morals could be bought for the price of half a London flat. I don't know if I have a number that would make me sell my country's health service down the river but Wes and I are different.

I really like this.
18/ Counsel therefore submits that the old Code does not express a view on the question addressed in Scottish Ministers, so the Supreme Court judgment has no bearing on the continued correctness of the old Code.
He also referred to Lord Hodge’s interview with the press.
