🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

It was only in 1967 that the geographical and temporal limitations were lifted, under the New York Protocol. Saying that international refugee law was somehow intended to be limited to individual dissidents is just a lie. And Starmer knows this; he literally wrote a book on human rights law.

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Anyone who’s ever actually spoken to a single asylum seeker about their experiences in any country in Europe simply could not honestly conclude that what would improve things would be to further reduce their human rights protections.

It’s vile scapegoating unworthy of us & it needs to end #r4today

Human rights are universal and inalienable. Except for refugees. They don't count. But it'll definitely stop there. Just the refugees. They won't come for anyone else. Nope. That's not how it works

Human rights were built for hard times, not rewrites when it suits the Government.

Pushing to water down the European Convention on Human Rights on International Human Rights Day is a moral retreat, not a solution.

Woman with a heavily-laden trolley, surveying festive foods in the supermarket FreeFrom aisle:

Evidently, Britain’s journalistic hacks see no need to scrutinise ‘Dirty Farage' his insistence that he is not a racist, his associations with Nathan Gill, or the murky circumstances surrounding the purchase of his Frinton property.

And don't forget that under the terms of the 28 point plan, someone, presumably Ukraine, will be paying the US for this. It's a protection racket, which is how Trump understands all security relationships. And like all protection rackets, it's all racket and no protection.

A quick run through of the Trump administration's proposal for a Ukraine security guarantee, which is a security guarantee in the same way that the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is a party committed to liberalism and democracy. 🧵 x.com/BarakRavid/s...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Journalists - if the person you are all trying to question insults one of your peers and them comes to you, the only reasonable response is to defer back to the insulted journo or to repeat their question. It’s not just about integrity - our main job is to make sure difficult questions are answered

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

A major problem for a government with an essentially performative policy approach is that it encourages / incentivises all other parties to so the same thing - what’s the point in being substantive if the actual government (whose competitive advantage should be governing) can’t be bothered…?
