If a sizeable number of people in Britain believe immigration harms the country the government’s job is to reeducate them not to use their prejudices as the policy making springboard. It’s a Labour government founded on the principles of socialism, compassion and solidarity not expedient cruelty

TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Mahmood lives in a fantasy land where she says the same things as far right racist bigots and invitees of hatred against refugees and believes her words are different because she said them
Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."
But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

Zack Polanski sounds furious and rightly so. The government approach to immigration is wrong from start to finish. Hostility led by politicians and amplified by the media is what is dividing the country. Polanski offers a different solution, work with asylum seekers, allow them to contribute.
"Polanski was joined by many Labour MPs in opposing the government’s plans, although most of them are thought to be prepared to reluctantly support the measures."

The risk of drowning in freezing water doesn’t act as a deterrent to coming to Britain in a small boat. Nor does the tens of thousands of euros it costs to secure a passage on an overloaded rubber dinghy. Nothing Mahmood suggests is a deterrent in comparison? Open safe legal routes instead.
Cruelty does nothing to secure our borders.
It's good that the Home Secretary has definitively ruled out confiscating jewellery from refugees - but our focus must now be on building a fair asylum system that prioritises safe and legal routes, not more Tory-style ineffective cruelty.

The stance of Labour:
“We’ve got to restore order and control, and if we don’t do this, what will come [after us] will be darker.”
…and they are correct.
Better with Labour. 👍

Yusuf is irrelevant because he has nothing to offer. He is a millionaire and has nothing to lose and everything to gain from hoodwinking ordinary people. What’s the alternative story here?
Zia Yusuf declares "That's irrelevant." When told his parents were economic migrants and asked why he wants it banned?
But actually it's very relevant.
