The Conservatives and Reform are currently saying that UK free speech laws are so draconian that people are routinely jailed for bad takes, and yet also the only way to deal with Alaa’s social posts is to extra-judicially strip him of citizenship. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-c...

Calls to remove el-Fattah’s UK citizenship are dictatorial

Yes his tweets were disgusting, possibly criminal, yet it should not be possible for politicians to revoke someone’s national identity just because they dislike their views

I see the Indy is also going with asylum seekers being “banned” from doing something they were being forced to do unwillingly in the first place, so presumably this is how the Home Office‘s press release is framing its own admissions of incompetence and waste

Dismal framing. Every aspect of most asylum seekers’ lives is controlled & paid for by the Home Office. They can’t work, are told where to live & have no autonomy or dignity. So they aren’t *choosing* to use taxis & don’t need to be “banned” from doing so. The HO just needs to get its act in order.

The ban is set to come in February and any exemptions will have to be signed off by the Home Office.

Money on ALL transport for asylum seekers is about £16 million per year (spread across 110,000 people). Michelle Mone’s company owes the government over £187 million in unpaid taxes and for supplying faulty gowns. Still it’s important we stay angry with asylum seekers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Great line from ‘A Very British Coup’. When the socialist PM is asked if he is abolishing first class travel on trains his reply is, ‘No, I’m abolishing second class, everyone travels first class now.’ They also float the idea of ‘one man, one newspaper’. Might be a good time to revive this

So the #BBC won't show #Kneecap 's set live, nor even acknowledge that they're between #BobVylan and YussefDayes in the #Glastonbury #WestHolts lineup? They sure do make a lot of active political choices to do things differently (where defaulting to not doing things differently would be apolitical).

A photo of the BBC iPlayer between-sets holding screen for the #WestHolts stage at #Glastonbury2025. It reads:
14:30 Bob Vylan
17:30 Yussef Dayes
19:00 Greentea Peng

They have explicitly omitted:
