Shabana Mahmood really is very impressive. I hope I'm wrong, but I do fear she's arrived a bit too late to the party to make a big difference. Nonetheless, a great performance at the dispatch box yesterday.

16% of LAC in London are asylum seeking minors! Most are smuggled here by family. Childrens Services already underfunded. This abuse of the asylum system is so damaging.

Martine has wound up all the right people. The gender religion is possibly the stupidest of them all, and it has A LOT of competition in the stupid religion stakes, but none of them pretend that pregnant people can be anything other than women. 🤣
"pregnant person" as terminology emerged WAY before you ever heard about it, transphobes. It was mainly used when a lesbian couple is having a baby. That way "women" or "mother" isn't a specific enough term. Also, not all women are pregnant, Martine, you smug snide. Some NEVER are.

1/5 The allegations that Alvarez’s wife made are completely FALSE. ICE did not use force when they arrested Roberto Diego Alvarez Oliva. Alvarez’s wife was not even present at the time of the arrest she claims to have witnessed.

It's a shame that otherwise law abiding people in Los Angeles seem to accept anarchist tactics, don't respect the rule of law, and are happy to use violence to hold the country to ransom. It also explains (in part) why so many other other Americans ended up voting for the orange man baby.

Enforcing immigration law and removing people who have broken those laws is not fascism. It's actually important to do it to maintain fairness and protect government services to the less well off. Read Barbara Jordan.

I don't think women saying to other women 'excuse me this is the ladies' if they are not sure, which is usually resolved as soon as the woman opens her mouth, is a massive human rights violation that means we have to put men in women's prisons no.

I have enhanced for you this lovely autochrome portrait of a young Hindu lady in the Indian city of Agra, photographed in colour 99 years ago by the visiting French photographer Jules Gervais Courtellemont. (It is original colour from 1926 and not colourised).

The DHS approach of going into detail around why decisions are made in case where the media has been called in to further a false narrative should be emulated on this side of the pond.
1/4 FACT CHECK: Nicolle Saroukos’s recent long-term trips to the United States and suspicious luggage resulted in her being reasonably selected for secondary screening by CBP.

Officers determined that she was traveling for more than just tourism.

While Trump fiddles and kow-tows to Putin, Ukraine suffers and burns.
Saturday marked the most extensive drone strike against Ukraine during the full-scale war, with 298 drones launched at Ukraine — until the next day. On Sunday night, Russia broke its record again, launching 355 drones at Ukraine.

Enacting sanctuary status policies is an act of self-harm on an industrial sale. The residents of these US jurisdictions are at significantly higher risk of #crime as a result. It is a mark of shame for the left that it has taken the orange narcissist to bring some sense to #immigration enforcement.
Is your state, county, or city on this https://x.com/DHSgov list of “sanctuary” jurisdictions?

If so, the Trump Administration is putting your politicians on notice: comply with federal law.
