Andy Burnham's proposals are sadly incoherent. It's unpopular to say this. But you cannot want a National Care Service and an end to rough sleeping while making huge, detrimental changes to the immigration system. The Earned Settlement proposals need to be scrapped. Sign our petition.

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

Yes, people like the woman in that clip being insulted, bullied and pushed around by comfortable, middle aged wankers has been the entire selling point of right wing politics for *at least* two decades. “We will harm people you irrationally hate and make them cry” is most of the sales pitch.

UPDATE: Several American aid workers who responded to the Ebola outbreak in the DRC are isolating at a facility in Kenya that the country’s highest court blocked in May, despite the Kenyan health minister claiming in court on June 23rd that the government had halted construction of the facility.

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*.

Just a quick reminder of how completely fucking batshit the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) definition of "Left-Wing, Anarchist and Single-Issue Terrorism" (LASIT) is.
A Venn Diagramm with two big circles labeled "political left wing" on the left and "single issue" on the right. "Single issue" circle is further labelled "single issue grievance narratives include; environmentalism; animal rights; anti-abortionists; anti-vaccination; incel". There are other smaller circles with various level of overlap labelled "anti-fascism", "socialism", "communism" and "anarchism".

Morgan has a lot of thoughts on why Labour wasn’t ready to rule and why the state isn’t fit for purpose, and these do not include “Because Morgan was 100% focused on grubbing up secret donations, absurd backroom shenanigans, fucking flags, camo-gear photo-ops, signalling racism and crackdowns”.

This is horrifying. It classes disabled people as not fully human, because it is saying that they cannot ‘feel’ the same way as an able bodied person would in the same circumstances. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...
The new rules
The judgment introduces a regressive legal standard that will fundamentally alter the lives of potentially hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people:
The vast majority of people currently protected by the DoLS safeguards system in the UK will likely see their existing checks and independent inspections cancelled.
The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to experience it—a view that devalues their fundamental | rights.
The Court has suggested that in borderline cases, for a deprivation of liberty to exist, a care setting must closely mirror the extreme confinement of a prison cell.
If a vulnerable person appears passive or does not actively protest their arrangements, the law may recognise this as "consent" — even if they are subjected to routine physical restraint or chemical sedation or have never known a life without a high level of restriction.

This is such a big mistake. Its something that sets London and the UK apart and feels utopian in a world where we get less and less of that. Also it surely won't help the resentment towards the British museum if we're charging people to see their own looted artefacts

I cannot emphasise this enough - every single person who has been killed in protests in Kenya since 2022 has. Been. Killed. By. The. Police. Civilians are not the ones shooting each other. Kenya does not have a protest problem - Kenya has a policing problem and a gov with no tolerance for dissent.

The word "Zionist" already identifies Zionism as violent, colonialist, and morally indefensible. It's inherent to the ideology. Here's a brief reply thread on the subject of why the slur "zio" doesn't mean "Zionist", is antisemitic and bad, and the Left and pro-Palestine movement shouldn't use it.

Behind the weasel words and prevaricating euphemisms, Britain's politics of immigration are rooted in an antipathy to the presence of negatively racialised people in this country *on any terms*. If we'd confronted that reality decades ago, and faced it down, we wouldn't be where we are now.
