READ: Israel developed a doctrine of total societal destruction that is used in Gaza — and is now deploying it in Lebanon and Iran with full US backing.

This is one of the most important things you'll read today: mondoweiss.net/2026/03/isra...

The 28 day move-on period is not enough time for people to access financial support, secure work, and to find somewhere to live.

Unless this changes, people will continue to be forced into homelessness by the cruel asylum system.

Right now govt is making up an obviously false “saving” to justify its imm, while ignoring the obviously true cost of that policy (treasury projections assume a level of net migration Home Sec opposes and which is unlikely to happen). And these ppl wonder why trust in politics is declining.

Reform UK - we should stop all refugees and asylum seekers coming to the UK.

Also Reform UK - we should bomb Iran as part of Trump's illegal war and create thousands of refugees fleeing the destruction caused by the UK military.

You're gonna need to sit down for this one, but the side that bombed every school in Gaza, and denied bombing the girl's school in Iran (blaming a misfired Iranian missile), has now admitted it did bomb the girls' school after all. Astonishingly, the cover story was a lie.

It is deliberate signalling that “our “white” god is better and stronger than yours”.
Part of the white supremacy that underpins this project.

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
