They’re inciting hatred and encouraging bullies to target disabled people now. The open fascism in our country is overwhelming.
Hey @DVLAgovuk. Are you aware of this website with zero privacy policy, contact details or security, mirroring your tax checking function on @GOVUK?. This seems to be a heinous and egregious breach of GDPR and likely criminal harvesting of UK driver's details. It encourages.

Ali Milani is spot on here. The same findings came out of a Home Office report years ago, people come here because of family links & ties, colonial legacy and because they speak the language. And it’s a tiny minority of displaced people that come to the U.K.

The story will be about the money spent and the super injunction. What’s the story about the thousands of lives placed at risk & then covered up. Reports that at least 19,000 people included in data breach and just 4,500 people have arrived safely. Where is everyone else?.
Defence Secretary John Healey addressing Parliament about this story RIGHT NOW. "This superinjunction is. unprecedented". Parliament has been denied its right to scrutinise the leak, the up to £7bn spent and policy decisions for two years.

Whoever you are Callum, you’re a top fella. These kids have been through more than the grown adults obsessively demonising them could manage. Council’s have been investing in children & young people for years, until austerity demolished youth provision - let’s talk about that!.
'Anyone that gets angry about vulnerable children getting a nice day out needs to check themselves.'. Caller Callum goes head-to-head with Vanessa Feltz over local councils paying for young asylum seekers' 'trips to the circus'.

The two year anniversary of Wethersfield Asylum Camp. The Labour Party pledged to close it, but current occupancy is higher than it ever, with no signs of the promised closure. #WethersfieldMustClose #CommunitiesNotCamps.
It's two years today since the opening of Wethersfield: the prison-like camp where hundreds of people seeking sanctuary are shut away. Here, we look back at two years of suffering & scandal to show why Wethersfield MUST close. [CN: thread contains suicide & torture mentions]

An utter disgrace. This law would simply compel public bodies to tell the truth. And government have just blocked it, after promising the people of Liverpool, the survivors and the families of people lost, they would pass it.
This is the moment the Government blocked the Hillsborough Law - officially known as the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill. Thank you to my friend @johnmcdonnellMP for being in the Chamber with me – and for expressing his outrage at the Government's behaviour.

Well. This is hopeful from across the pond. 79% of Americans think immigration is good, 78% support pathways for citizenship. When people see their friends & neighbours being locked up & brutalised the reality hits home. Good for them.
NEW GALLUP POLL: the pendulum has swung drastically since last year. 🟢 just 30% want immigration decreased (55% last year). 🟢 79% of Americans think immigration is GOOD for the country (record high). 🟢 Path to citizenship (78%) beats mass deportation (38%)
