As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe.

People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway.

Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

We’ve got a launch night organised and we’ll tell you about that in a bit. Should we play ‘Morning Loops’ all the way through or mix it up a bit?

The most obvious question for journalists to ask Farage is whether he'd really be prepared - Trump-style- to send the police (and army?) into London to detain more than 200,000 Londoners.

Because that is what this policy would mean, obviously.

Reform UK prepared to deport 600,000 under migration plans

The party outlines its plans to detain and deport all migrants who arrive in the UK on small boats.

Dismal, depressing day.

And yet No10 will give a ready quote on some passing celeb fad.

Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot.bsky.social · Aug 26

No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.

Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

Hits all platforms on Friday. You can then send a handy link to anyone you know who goes out weekends shouting at hotels.

Asylum Matters @asylummatters.bsky.social · Aug 24

We're all angry about asylum hotels.

But that anger is being turned against the people forced to live in those hotels - and that's not ok.

They only exist because of the failures of the previous Government.

Here's how a fairer asylum system would mean no asylum hotels.

Very revealing moment on Channel 5 earlier today.

Ann Widdecombe claimed people abuse disability benefits.

I asked several times for her evidence - she said she’d “heard it from people” when she was a minister.

My response? That right there is why our country is in a mess.

The album ‘Morning Loops’ takes its name from our old departed friend Lucy who you may know from the ‘Good Dogs Never Die’ video. Also known as Loops, she was often the first one to hear the early new songs for this album, worked out in the quiet of the morning on an acoustic guitar.

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives
