What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose? Or the splendour of autumn to those. Who've bartered our freedom for gain? #ScottishIndependenceš“ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó “ó æ
@AsylumMatters The British public is compassionate ā no matter how hard some try to demonise the vulnerable.
Every signature is a message to Parliament:
Humanity still matters.

This is an anti-worker agenda from the Home Secretary.
Itās designed to pander to bigotry and will increase exploitation while decimating our care system.
UNISON will stand by our migrant members every step of the way.

"The policy of doubling the length of time before you get... indefinite leave to remain "came up a lot"... the hard-line rhetoric has been a big, big problem."
Proof of what we already knew: voters don't want their neighbours waiting years for safety, security, and belonging.
š„ Emma Duncanās column isone of the cleanest, least ideological admissions yet of what Brexit has done and why the argument is effectively over, even if politics hasnāt caught up.
The key point is not that economists agree on every detail. Itās that they no longer disagree on the direction of travel.
Brexit has: made the UK poorer, lowered growth, reduced investment and the gap widens over time
Thatās now the consensus position across serious economic analysis.
English is my second language but no-one has ever suggested I canāt speak it fluently. When racism is fuelled by Farage and Reform it is a BIG mistake for the BBC to amplify it. They must correct and apologise. #BBCQT
Iām reposting this 2008 clip that Trump really, REALLY doesnāt want circulating. Itās him gushing over the Clintons: āBill Clinton was a great President. Hillary Clinton is a great woman.ā So whatever you do, for the love of God, do NOT retweet this.
Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi.
Such a silly idea! š
Isn't this weird?
All the people from "good White countries" trump wants immigrants from -- Denmark, Norway, Sweden -- have stopped coming to America for vacations this year.
Wait... are WE the shithole country?
š When we say Stop the Scottish Energy Bill Rip-Off, we are saying something bigger than āshave a few pounds off the price capā.

Insanely, submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements.
You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements.
All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist eligible for ESTA (meaning those tourists who don't need a visa, for instance from EU, UK, Australia, Japan, and other Visa Waiver countries):
- All social media accounts from the last 5 years
- All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
- All your phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your email addresses from the last 10 years
- IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos
- Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children)
- All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years
- Your family members' dates of birth
- Your family members' places of birth
- Your family members' residencies
- All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your business email addresses from the last 10 years
If you do need a visa (i.e. non ESTA), I imagine the requirements are going to be far more drastic.
This is straight from the Department of Homeland Security documentation which you can find here: https://t.co/DMGpKEwlr2
So in the last 18 months Starmer has created nearly 100 unelected peers. Just on attendance, without counting expenses, and assuming 150 days a year, thatās over 5 million quid of taxpayers money. Yet they say theyāre too skint to help the vulnerable?
Eight people are dying in British prisons. Literally. We are in the second month of their indefinite hunger strike.
Theyāre not criminals. They are prisoners of conscience, protesting against Israelās genocide of Gaza.
The British state is torturing them into silence. Free them
āYou are a government of cowards, because you wonāt tell people the truth about migrationā
The Green Partyās Zack Polanski says society is āfeeling brokenā because of years of austerity, and āfair and managedā immigration is āa positive thing for the countryā
