Labour are dancing to the tune of Reform's cruel agenda on asylum.
These proposals, including confiscating personal belongings, will punish people who have already endured unimaginable hardship and will create further divisions in our communities.

This show will not disappoint: Simon is more passionate and knowledgeable about the magic of the movies than anyone I know.
Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.
