It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

It can't be emphasised enough that the Government's current approach:

- Increase ILR to 10 years,
- Increase Asylum ILR to 20 years,
- Removal "immediately" if your home country becomes "safe,"
- Loss of permanent refugee status,

Is exactly the sort of thing they dismissed as radical extremism.
Yvette Cooper was defined by inertia and just blew in the wind. Shabana Mahmood gets things done. And what she wants to get done is absolutely crackers.

What a ridiculous fucking position.
Shabana Mahmood tells Sunday Times it should take 20 years for somebody granted refugee status in UK to secure permanent status (ie, reapply 6 times) if came without permission.

Paper says Denmark has toughest settlement timeline (8 years) but UK govt wants longer

I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go
Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to

That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

Every low-paid migrant working in the UK contributes far more to our society than muppets like this spouting bile in national papers
Me: We let in way too many low-paid workers and non-paying dependents, we need to reform the rules so that only those who genuinely contribute can stay here permanently.

Maybe it’s because I’m not a newspaper columnist but I genuinely cannot fathom how you can actually think “this guy is a misogynist, racist, and a sexual predator, but he’s right about trans people” without any self-reflection on whether you might be wrong about us

The fact that we have food banks that are widely accepted as the norm is bad enough, the fact that they are now opened by celebrities, MPs & Royals is an absolute fucking disgrace.

Given that this doesn't apply to all under-18s, it is simply an attack on trans kids, has nothing to do with safety, and is a dog-whistle to appease some of the worst bigots in the UK.
