@ronin21btc @RichardJMurphy The strongest connection is that perpetrator seems to have been male - not that he had non-British parents. If someone is born here and commits a crime where do we deport them to? The bigger problem might be the swingeing cuts to public services such as mental health.

Seriously people - look at what's happening in terms of GDP/capita (which is what ultimately matters for our living standards). This is a proper recession just being hidden by having more people - GDP/capita declined 0.7 per cent in 2023 with falls in every single quarter

“This is a proper recession just being hidden by having more people,” said @TorstenBell of the Resolution Foundation

Sleeping on the streets is not a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes & rents are soaring, leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. [🧵1/4] https://t.co/cU6WG3kpMb

In its first year, #FairWayScotland supported over 1,200 people at risk of homelessness and destitution. All a direct result of @GOVUK immigration policy that leaves people with nothing.

Today, the partnership meets to start building a bigger alliance for a rising challenge 👇🏽

[Crisis Scotland @CrisisScotland]

Scottish Government plans to prevent homelessness from happening in the first place could help us build a truly world leading system. The new Task and Finish group report, published today, sets out what needs to happen to make that a reality 🏠
