Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

I'm seeing a surge of near-identical anti-Starmer framing right now: ‘weak’, ‘humiliated’, ‘appeasement’, ‘no plan’. Whether posters realise it or not, this mirrors influence tactics that strip away legal and institutional context, creating distrust. Worth being cautious about what you read.

If Trump gets his way you'd have substandard chicken in the UK food chain but it would also be much cheaper so UK poultry farms - which are built and regulated to those much higher standards - would be royally screwed.
It would benefit nobody apart from US farmers.

The EU banned that practice in 1997 and as such the UK has among the highest welfare and standards in the world. 1/2
