Denmark has *far* worse outcomes - economic, social and integration - than the UK.
Just a fantasyland for those who want an excuse for their own xenophobia and/or are incapable of doing the hard work of confronting the UK's real problems.

If Muslims and people of colour dont want to vote for you, maybe you need to be asking yourself WHY instead of doling out accusations of sectarianism, or even actively trying to strip people of their voting rights
Why is it sectarian when parties campaign for Muslim votes (all trad parties have at some point) but not when they campaign to Anglican (Tories) Catholic (Labour) Jewish (Labour anti semitism row). Is it possible that many Muslims just didn’t want to vote for you, because you didn’t appeal to them?
Nice try love. When you’re trying to force (mainly poor, brown) people out of the country by making it impossible to stay, you don’t get to threaten us with Reform. You’re already doing their job for them.

So proud of @praxisprojects.bsky.social for the endless work to stop the settlement changes. We've been working on routes to settlement, NRPF , child poverty/homelessness for 10 years. Now is your chance to support our efforts and get these changes stopped before it's too late.
The brass neck of this. The Home Office is notorious crap at communication.

THE VOICE, an Action Group of Women on the 10 year route to settlement, supported by GMIAU, responded to the Government’s “earned settlement” consultation.
Here is a snippet of what they had to say:
Farage and his band of millionaires want to legalise discrimination - proving yet again they side with the powerful over working people.
Scrapping the Equality Act is Reform's opening move before dismantling protections for everyone.

Migration is not an aberration in our history – like colonialism was; it is a constant thread woven through it."

Ratfcliffe is a billionaire Brexiteer. His a football club is full of migrant players. When he talks about “colonisation” he’s talking about all black and brown people in the UK. People who do more for their communities than a billionaire who steals from them and trashed the economy they live in.
Spain shows the case for migrant rights is not only a moral one but an economic one. Right now, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is going in the opposite direction and the truth is, we're all going to be worse off.
People need to be able to settle in our communities in a quick and affordable way.
⚠️Our survey reveals 3 in 5 fear family separation under new settlement plans.
@minnierahman.bsky.social: "We all know migrants bring vital skills and experience. The government needs to stop penalising migrant communities and start reflecting that reality.”

When you hear government ministers harping on about how their immigration policy reforms are all about promoting “integration”, remember this:
10 years is a *childhood*
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Well, that an the fact that in the last 10 years there have been:
– 36 fire incidents;
– 12 asbestos incidents; and
– 19 stonemasonry incidents
This gif has never felt more apt
To write this sentence about Nigel Farage in 2026 is amazing: “On occasion, he is quite unlike other politicians, with flashes of honesty you wouldn't hear from others”
I’m sorry for repeating the word gaslighting a lot, but this is that.

You could almost hear the penny dropping this week, as Labour MPs grapple with what the Govt’s ludicrous changes to settlement pathways are going to mean for constituents, communities and the economy.
A shame they don’t actually get a say on the changes

We all know that these deaths were entirely avoidable - but it’s still jarring to see the litany of mistakes that led to these people losing their lives.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This runs entirely counter to the Government’s manifesto commitment to reduce poverty for all children
The Home Secretary several times says she thinks 5 years is "quite short" and "quite quick".
Views differ - but the BSA finds that the general public tend to see 5 years as fair: over 80% of people tend to think 5 years is fair

This is hilariously disingenuous: of COURSE they’re trying to prevent people from settling

Do they understand how mad they sound? As if anyone has ever decided to cross the Channel in a small boat because, if they make it, they might get to take a free taxi to a doctor's appointment?

We face the same challenges Spain did: a stagnant economy & ageing population.
Treating undocumented workers & asylum seekers as people has resulted in higher GDP & record-low unemployment.
Spain proved the moral case for migration is also an economic one.

Hello, I have a new book out in the spring with Picador and I would love it if you could help me spread the word.
IF WE TOLERATE THIS draws on years of work, to help readers understand why British politics is hurtling rightwards and what to do about it.

We may not have guns but we do have:
⚠️ICE-style raids invading homes and workplaces
⚠️Indefinite detention of women, children and men
⚠️Deportation footage bragged about on TikTok
⚠️Riot police used on peaceful protest
⚠️Politicians calling for mass deportations.
This isn’t “just America.”
The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be…
The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere.
Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration.
I lay it out in my latest post.
