"The important thing is the UK has sensibly decided to deny citizenship to all refugees who arrive here illegally. This move comes shortly after we made it impossible for refugees to come here legally."

I was reading this week that Starmerand his cabinet was riled up by a Telegraph story that ran saying an asylum seeker had been allowed to stay avoiding deportation because 'his kid didn't like foreign chicken nuggets'. Now the Torygraph was being 'selective' here - the child in question is autistic and in the process of assessments. His selective diet is just a minor aspect of the reason he should be spared the trauma of being sent to a country he doesn't know, as he was born here. The man himself, came here as an unaccompanied minor at age 15 and you can pretty well imagine the horrors he endured. Yeah, he is now a criminal, but I think we should ask ourselves, what did this country do to ensure that he did not follow a criminal path? Knee jerk politicking like this serves noone any good. Sort yourself out Mr Starmer, you can't out Farage Farage, and you definitely won't win support trying (and failing) to be Trump-lite.

Thanks for this Laura.

The political maneuvering in the 21st century needs a whole lot more finesse to outwit the internet and the abundance of videos and pictures that are recorded with smartphones.

They know we know that they are lying, it seems to make the politicians more determined to plough forth, regardless.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Gaza - peoples lives' wrecked for fossil fuel /mineral deposits. Terrible world governed by the greedy
