This confirms something a lot of people in Westminster noticed: while Farage was happy to bluster through the Schoolboy Nazi stuff, he has gone to ground over the £5million "gift". The story has Reform worried.

28 days. That's how long many newly-recognised refugees now have to find a home, get a job, open a bank account - to build a whole new life. That means homelessness is inevitable for many people. Read about the slashing of the move on period here 👇 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The dystopia does not end. Libya—already frontline of Europe’s remote control migrant detention centres—now also being considered by US as destination for Palestinians of Gaza in the wake of genocide & ethnic cleansing by the Israeli state. The liberation of Africans & Palestinians is inseparable.
