It's hard to find the words to react to Shabana Mahmood's policy on asylum seekers announced today. But thankfully this should show why her position isn't tenable: the world is as dangerous as it was when she was in opposition. Her change of position is career orientated.

Stop pretending these policies are "fair" or "compassionate", half of them aren't even new. Community sponsorship already exists, people can already be denied accommodation if they can support themselves. These policies are just cruelty for political gain, and counterproductive at even that #r4today
These policies, where they aren't just reiterating ones which already exist in a differently worded form, are just plain idiotic.
They show not only a complete disregard for people's lives, or basic humanity, but also reality. 1/
