Israel has just issued a demand that all of Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area roughly the size of central Berlin or lower Manhattan, run for their lives. Tens of thousands are forced to flee- again. Real fears that they will level much of southern Beirut- an area where more than 500,000 live.

We must cancel study visas for Sudanese and Afghan students because otherwise the far-right will shoot them. Vote Labour.

The true story of how an obscure organisation called into question a crucial by-election with claims of family voting breathlessly repeated by the media, only to vanish into thin air afterwards...

Mahmood to stop study visas from four countries due to 'abuse' The government will end study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, due to what she says is abuse.

Punishing people from the world’s worst conflict zones for using the only legal route to claim asylum, and forcing them to take dangerous routes instead. Reprehensible and counterproductive as usual.

I think he means Germany and he is confusing his father with his grandfather. He is sitting next to Merz, to whom he gestures when he says “he knows all about my father, my father was born there.”

The "family voting" talking point is probably part of a more long term play from the Far Right to delegitimise immigrant and minority involvement in political life

I think something that is poorly understood if you don't interact with those circles, is how the cliquey top of the British right sees "criticism of Israel post Oct 7" as a weird and extreme position, not something that a lot of the country feels.
