Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announces major asylum system shake-up Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced refugee status for asylum seekers will be reviewed every 30 months in a major shake-up of the system

Paying millions to re-check claims while refusing refugees the basic security they’ need to put down roots, work and rebuild their lives.

When you close safer pathways, you don’t make desperation disappear, you just reroute it, meaning more people will be forced into taking dangerous journeys to save their lives.

Singling out these countries, knowing so many people have already been displaced due to conflict, is especially cruel.

Shabana Mahmood to limit refugees to 30 months in UK Shorter asylum period can be renewed under hardline policy aimed at stopping rise of Reform UK

Utterly cruel, pointless and harmful. It does not minimise how bad Conservatives were to say Labour are now the most anti-asylum government in most people's living memory. This prevents people feeling any sense of safety and security after fleeing persecution.

Today is a dark day for anyone who believes in sanctuary in the UK.

How did Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor escape criticism and accountability for so long?

Partly because MPs are "barred" from criticising the royals and need to be "respectful" of them, Lib Dem leader Ed Davey told the Commons yesterday.

Yet another prime example of FPTP being a broken electoral system. A clear majority of voters want a progressive MP, but Reform could sneak in.

Voters would actually get better campaigns too, rather than dodgy bar charts, poll obsession and "only we can win here" tedium.

The response to policies which are based on "Christian nationalism" and far right racism is not "how will you afford it". Reform is promoting seriously far right, evangelical, fuckwittery, which is opposed by majority of the country, too many journalists keep treating them as "business as usual".

Keir Starmer sees himself in a battle against Reform. His speeches just amplify Farage's message | LBC The Prime Minister frames this moment as a crossroads for the country, yet it feels more like one for his government and for Labour itself.

Wrote this back in September, and it is holding fast.
Reform's sickeningly racist policies announced this week are far worse than anything we have seen thus far, but they are also enabled by Labour's own shift to the right with attacks on marginalised groups. 1/3

It's interesting and worrying to see people on here unable to see that Reform and Labour's diagnosis is ultimately the same. 'A large number of people came and it is bad for the UK'. They just differ on scope, language and policy.
