Labour's asylum plan is straight from the Trump playbook – it'll backfire on them It’s time to stand up for the values of compassion, humanity and basic fairness

"Like so many government policies in recent years, Mahmood’s proposals should be seen less as practical policy, more as positioning: the accelerating descent of our politics into a media spectacle rather than as a means of building a better society"

When Keir Starmer ran to be Labour leader in 2020, he pledged to β€œdefend migrants’ rights” and to have β€œan immigration system based on compassion and dignity”.

How far he has fallen: not just in the polls but morally too.

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working.

And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place.

You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

I am an SNP member and have voted SNP since 1975. In 2026 I will be voting SNP for Constituency vote and Scottish Greens for my List vote. If all Indy supporters did this then we could have a massive Indy majority in Holyrood in 2026.

Labour's vile new policy of confiscating the jewelry and other valuables of asylum seekers has been endorsed by 'Tommy Robinson' and Nigel Farage.

So, long story short - she took money to deny someone their freedom, then to deny him his Human Right of free speech.

The long story is Zionism.

I've been wondering, recently, why all of these tech billionaires - Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc, etc - don't have to pay Tim Berners-Lee billions of dollars in royalties each, each year for the use of his invention. It seems he's working on a replacement, as I type.

Break up big tech monopolies. The system has become too vulnerable. Build local alternatives, resiliency.

The western media’s failure to report the reality of Gaza didn’t start on 7 October 2023. It’s always been like this.

After years of personal experience reporting from the region, I explain why journalists won’t tell you the truth about Palestine: www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2025-11...

Listen: Breaking free of media group-think is a scary, lonely journey. I know. I was forced to do it Read by Matthew Alford

The West's failure to report the reality of Gaza didn’t start on 7 October 2023. It’s always been like this. I know because for 20 years I suffered firsthand the same editorial pressures now faced by my colleagues.

A Swiss investigation reveals that an official with ties to an Israeli firm invested in the military and intelligence sectors was behind the decision to have journalist Ali Abunimah arrested and expelled – to stop a speaking tour about the Gaza genocide.

A new report by Israel's Physicians for Human Rights documents savage conditions of detention in Israel known to have killed 98 Palestinians over the past two years. However, the group believes Israel is concealing many more deaths.

With the rate of the genocide in Gaza slightly reduced, Germany announces it feels able to start restocking Israel with the weapons it will need when it returns to committing genocide with full force.

Genocide can take many forms. Leaving people to slowly die from exposure to flooding and cold, denied adequate food to sustain body heat, is just another way for Israel to kill more Palestinians.

No, he hasn't. He was the third most industrious political campaigner for Remain, behind Cameron and Osborne.

A stat, easily checked with Loughborough University.

It's been nine years. How do you not know this?

Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.

Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.

This government has no moral compass β€” and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

Wes Streeting says striking NHS staff are β€œholding patients to ransom”.

Wrong! He’s the one holding patients and the NHS to ransom, by refusing to give doctors the pay and jobs they deserve.

To all our dedicated healthcare workers: thank you for all you do. Solidarity!

Asylum seekers’ jewellery could be seized to pay for processing costs, says Home Office minister Idea borrowed from Denmark is latest attempt to reduce number of people seeking asylum in UK

Labour won't redistribute wealth from billionaires.

But they will seize belongings from those fleeing war and persecution.

Absolutely disgusting. Asylum seekers are human beings β€” and they deserve to live in dignity just like anybody else.
