This is fascism…this is Becky Burke she was on a back packing tour of North America and crashed into Trumps immigration pogroms.

Her father writes
“Our daughter Becky, a 28-year-old British tourist, has been caught up in the recent immigration crackdown in the US. What was meant to be a life-changing four-month backpacking trip across North America has turned into a nightmare.

Despite being a tourist with no criminal record, she was handcuffed and taken to a detention facility in Tacoma, Washington.

Becky’s current conditions are deeply concerning. She is sharing a cell, surviving on a diet of cold rice, potatoes, and beans (she is vegan), and has limited access to phone calls. Visitors are restricted to speaking through a glass screen via telephone.

All her possessions have been confiscated, and she feels isolated and desperate to come home.

We are doing everything we can. We are in touch with the British Consulate in London and San Francisco. An American friend is helping by sending funds to her inmate account so she can buy basic necessities like tea. But progress has been slow, and we urgently need more support.

We are asking for your help. Please share Becky’s story widely through your networks. We hope to connect with experts, legal professionals, or anyone who can offer advice or assistance. Becky is a kind, adventurous young woman who simply wants to return home to her family.”

This is a fact… no one can argue with me @elonmusk the Brits don’t like you

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t RT

Question for @NicholasLissack - if your grandparents are freezing and can’t afford to keep the heating on, couldn’t your parents, their children help out, being they are millionaires?

If the right really hated inheritance tax then why don’t they fight for everyone not having to pay? They’re fighting because many of them bought land thinking it was tax break. Listen dickheads you only have to pay 20% over 10yrs, when the rest of us pay 40% over get 6mths.

Will someone please tell multimillionaire farmers to stop having tantrums and pay their sodding tax.

Driving brand new tractors into Central London isn’t exactly screaming abject poverty.

A third of children in the UK are living in abject poverty, but multimillionaires…

This is a horrendous situation and disturbing thread to read. My thoughts with Jane, Cat and her family.

Sadly other than potential legal action it's very tough to know what can be done. It is possible to try to raise emergency situation with Ombudsman but that's unlikely to resolve much at the speed needed.

Hopefully the publicity a situation like this can and should get will put pressure on the insurer to review its decision.

Ok

I’m calling on all comedians to march against us paying inheritance tax. For us it’s not a job, it’s a way of life. The tax means my kids will have to sell everything if I die and their jokes will be lost forever. But I don’t expect you to understand that, Kier Starmer!!!
