He's right. But also: this was exactly how some of us warned the Terrorism Act 2000 would be used when it was passed, by the government in which Peter Hain was a minister. He and all the others either ignored or dismissed our warnings. It's very frustrating.

The government's benefits cuts, two-child cap and freeze in Local Housing Allowance are all *false economies*. They don't save money. They merely push spending into different parts of the budget, while causing untold suffering. Cruel, perfomative and pointless. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...
The analysis shows that 206,000 children will be living in temporary accommodation by 2029 – a 26% increase over five years – while the cost to the taxpayer is set to rise by 71% to £3.9bn a year.

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

Choosing to take money from disabled benefit claimants rather than levy a wealth tax is simply immoral 👇

Labour mollifies the rich, targets disabled people and claims moral justification. There isn’t any | Frances Ryan
Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

Despite endless stories that suggest the opposite, unemployment has stayed steady - & historically low at 4.4% The panic about too many people & too many of them being on benefits is misplaced. The problem is the wealth we all create goes only to the rich #r4today

Dear Government. Forcing more & more disabled people into poverty does not save the taxpayer money. What did you think disabled people do with money? Stash it under the mattress? It goes back into the economy. Cold, malnourished people become very ill & cost the NHS a fortune. Please get a grip.

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

When a government tells us, within the course of one week, that we can't have new hospitals but must have new runways, you know that it is not working on our behalf, but on behalf of economic power.

Last night, for the first time in over 20 years, I was on #bbcqt. Someone dropped out the day before and they urgently needed to fill the seat. Though I was losing my voice, I wasn't going to wait another 20 years. You can watch the programme here: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
