Jenkins. Always wrong.
We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.
The Tories oversaw the degradation of UK gas storage capacity - 2010 to 2017.
Thatcher privatised the gas and oil industry - 1982 to 1986.
Thatcher closed the collieries - 1986 to 1991.
This woman is an idiot - 1960 to 2026
Emma, Emma, Emma, I can’t comment on the Guardian site because I’ve been out skiing all day and you’ve shut up shop.
Dunno who you went went with but I live in the mountains and no one I know has sustained any injuries all season.
Maybe you didn’t enjoy because you went to France. Come to Austria!

Something Shabana Mahmood and Keir Starmer should read / remember as they punch down on asylum seekers in search of Reform voters.

@stellacreasy.bsky.social: "The performative cruelty of repeatedly demanding that refugees prove they are still refugees – or else face deportation – cannot be understated. It is also a waste of money given that so few refugees, when retested, will change status."
Kate Hoey ‚heavyweight leader‘? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She lies!
Also made a deliberate and incendiary false claim that settlement gives immigrants "immediate access to welfare and social housing".
This article was amended on 5 March 2026. An earlier version said low-skilled workers would “receive immediate access to welfare and social housing” if Labour did not make them wait longer to apply for settlement. In fact, settlement status only gives people the eligibility to apply for welfare and social housing, it does not give them instant or automatic access to such benefits. This has been clarified. From breaking news to huge investigative proje
Guardian has now [after my complaint] corrected Mahmood's deliberate & incendiary false claim settlement gives immigrants "immediate access to welfare and social housing".
Good for Gdn but embarrassing/shameful that Home Secretary deliberately misled the public for political gain like this.
The best political strategist for Nigel Farage.
Well I hate to imagine what a *worse* political strategist would do to the polling.

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

You need to call German Chancellor Merz. He doesn’t seem to have read the memo.

Mahmood’s change to refugee status may undermine legal obligations, Law Society says

The Home Secretary's decision, without any attempt at consultation or oversight, to limit refugees to 30 months in the UK before having to have their claims re-confirmed is a cruel, inhumane, and ultimately unworkable policy. The Home Secretary has claimed it is necessary to tackle "legitimate grievances". There is nothing legitimate about denying those fleeing war and persecution the ability to rebuild their lives. There is nothing legitimate about leaving them in limbo, increasing the stress and trauma they are already going through, and reinforcing hostility and racism against them. People seeking asylum often already have to wait years for their claims to be heard. Increasing the number of cases which the Home Office deals with is obviously never going to be feasible. The Home Secretary knows this. That is why she has pushed this through via the backdoor without any consultation. Instead of trying to grab headlines to appear "tough", this government needs to be ensuring that those who come here seeking safety are able to receive it faster, and more effectively. This latest PR stunt from the Home Office runs counter to any practical measures which are needed.
We are disgusted by the latest cruel and inhumane anti-asylum policy announced by the Home Secretary. Limiting refugees to 30 months before needing to re-apply undermines their ability to rebuild their lives, to feel safe and secure, all while increasing Home Office bureaucracy and costs.
Self defeating: who can put down roots when in perpetual limbo
Costly and bureaucratic: £725m and 1.1m repeat case reviews on a Home Office that already can’t cope

The ridiculous extension of the wait for settled status isn't about putting up barriers to arrival, it's about putting up barriers to integration for people who have already been here for years. It's agreeing with Farage that these people should be treated with suspicion - and leaving it at that.
Bluesky isn’t going to be representative, but Labour backbenchers need to read the comments here.
If Mahmood isn’t sacked, these proposals abandoned, and the Blue-Labour poison extracted, then it’s existential for the Labour party.
That’s not something I wish for but now genuinely fear for.
The McSweeney poison has well and truly infected Mahmood.
McSweeney-ism and therefore Starmerism is well and truly dead.
Voters reject Reform and Reform-lite.
The future is progressive.
Mahmood should immediately drop her asylum and immigration proposals.
It’s not just Trump. We see the mindset and the system that has produced Trump. The failure of your vaunted ‘checks and balances’.
Britain can do better. Rather than preserve the Victorian flock wallpaper another building has to be found. Spending £8-18bn is simply beyond what the country can afford.
Many of my friends who remain Labour members are convinced Starmer is a „decent man“.
With McSweeney out of the way, the acid test becomes Shabana Mahmood’s asylum and immigration plans. There’s nothing ‚decent‘ about these proposals and if Starmer persists then McSweeneyism lives on.
It should do. In any other institution if £12m was paid in hush money to cover up a known crime then those responsible would be made to resign.
Charles should be made to abdicate.
