The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood sure has put on a show…
But how much is really serious & how much is just a theatre of cruelty?
Here’s the TRUTH about this week’s asylum changes

A longer version of this debate - that I found pretty unbelievable overall - is up here 😊
My YouTube numbers game is pretty dismal 🫠 so any views & shares gratefully received!

🫣I got CALLED OUT here!!!!
Utterly EXPOSED🫠
For daring to support Hannah Spencer & @zackpolanski.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk in the Manchester by-election 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Here’s why I did it:
I actually don't have words as to how angry I am.
Wonder what happened in these countries that people on student visas in the UK found themselves needing to apply for asylum instead of going home post 2021.
UK Labour are heartless bastards & apparently have bo idea whats happening in the world.
Woooooo!! Congratulations!!! 🥳

I’m really happy for ex-Tory aid James Price that he has such a nice relationship with his American mother-in-law…
but frankly I don’t think that’s enough for us to be unquestioningly following Donald Trump’s America into another illegal war🤷♀️
@olimould.bsky.social
Nice one, Prof!

Extremely exciting news that the brilliant @olimould.bsky.social’s new book Post-capitalist Cities is OFFICIALLY OUT & ready to purchase!
I just put in my order - I recommend you do the same! 🤓🤓🤓
My much requested deep-dive into the latest immigration statistics begins!!

UK friends, take a moment to listen as Zoe offers a reality check on the numbers
The latest immigration statistics are OUT
Immigration is once again DOWN
… but I don’t know who exactly is going to be happy about it🤷♀️
Family visas also down, student numbers just about holding up.
Small boats still top way for people seeking to reach us through irregular means
Primarily from the most dangerous countries on earth, who have NO SAFE ROUTE TO ESCAPE: Eritrea, Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan & Somalia.
Latest migration stats are out!
It's the same, sad story:
❤️🩹Health & care visas down 91% in 2 years
👨💼🧑🏭Non-health related skilled worker visas down by a third in a year
🆘Asylum seeker numbers still at a historic high
Govt will try to paint this as success. Is it?
The UK's anti-migrant politics is sounding more & more American
Me, for @newstatesman1913.bsky.social on why Reform's plans for a British ICE are a disaster www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...
A quick recap from our Advocacy Officer Layla, before Iftar time, on how the government is pushing children into poverty to score political points.
So interesting to compare notes between the UK & South Africa
& see how all around the world the same rhetoric of anti-migrant hatred is being spread by the same rich people with the same interests in dividing & ruling over us.
When did kindness become weakness in politics?
If our children know to be kind, how do our leaders not?
My #substack debut on how kindness is our most powerful tool to resist fascism in the UK today 👇

Excellent write-up here from @suewilson91.bsky.social for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk on the practical & morally urgent changes we need to make to immigration policy
Imagine a govt willing to do what's best to protect migrants' rights AND benefit host communities

Already on their 2nd home secretary, the Labour govt is maintaining the toxic rhetoric and cruel policies of its predecessor
This new report, Time for Change by prominent migration expert @zoejardiniere.bsky.social proves there is another better way
@suewilson91.bsky.social
@bylinesnetwork.co.uk
The state that created 300,000 war-related injuries, some resulting in permanent physical disabilities such as amputations, hearing loss, and vision impairment back in the Paralympics is it
Reform have said they are going to get rid of the Equalities Act and the Human Rights Act. Obviously every single charity working with humans, every union, and every employer should object to such proposals.
Can open, worms everywhere 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
(For context they’re fighting over 3 Sikh men campaigning for Goodwin & whether this is or is not betrayal…)

😬Not the best look for Reform’s Gorton & Denton candidate Matt Goodwin
White supremacist far right activist says
“you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts”
Tad awkward😬
Yep. The poor approach to migrant workers is where I had the most differences with the Corbyn project.
