Conservative MPs have just defeated an amendment to the Rwanda Bill that would have seen Afghan forces who fought alongside UK armed forces personnel prevented from being deported to Rwanda.

Labour backed the amendment.

Over six years after the event one has to wonder why this was leaked about one of the most senior and prominent military critics of Israel's conduct in Gaza Charlie Herbert - it is pathetic

What inspired you to write this low level hatchet job seven years after the incident, five years after he retired, and a few days after you realised how much traction he was getting with his careful criticisms of the IDF military tactics and lack of political strategy in Israel?

#Gazawashing

Definition: The systematic attempt to smear those who speak out against the IDF’s conduct in Gaza or who question Israel’s military strategy, in order to silence them.

Is this really what we want from mainstream media?

Not surprising that they would seek to discredit Charlie for criticising IDF, but disappointing and worried about the state of the press in UK.
Even Charlie's critics must see through this and condemn it.

Llongyfarchiadau i Vaughan Gething ar ei ethol yn arweinydd Llafur Cymru

His first act should be to return the £200k donation he received from an environmental offender

It would be a sign to the people of Wales that he will be an FM who values our environment and democracy

Tory donors comments about Diane Abbott 'nothing to do with gender or skin colour?
Then why say she makes you want to hate 'all black women'?
Why not 'everyone called Diane'? Or 'anyone who's been Shadow Home Secretary'? Or 'anyone who's shared a sofa with Michael Portillo'?

Government needs to increase the capacity of the national grid, urgently - we need new homes with heat pumps. It's not good enough to say they can't be built, or have to have gas boilers. theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

🚨 NEW: The Home Office has admitted it does not tell families when asylum seekers die in their care

[The Guardian]

YEARS OF DARKNESS🇦🇫
900 days without access to sec. education.
440 days without access to university education.
Days that have become one long, long night.
Let there be dawn!
Let there be light!

This genius substituted ‘erectile dysfunction’ for ‘menopause’ in the intro to that new Lancet editorial and I’m howling.

In which Grant Shapps takes a helicopter to a meeting about public transport because... well, why not, it's not his money. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Too many environmental charities and NGOs have compromised their ability to speak truth to power by taking money from the polluters.

This is precisely why we set up Friends of the River Wye - so we can speak up for the river, without fear or favour!

The news will be all about Galloway today - that’s why the government published these 13 immigration inspection reports in one go yesterday, to bury them.

But the scale & degree of chaos, mismanagement, dereliction of duty & incompetence they reveal is astounding, truly #r4today

Just skimming through the big dump of ICIBI's reports that the Home Office tried to burry by publishing today.

Just to give you an idea of the level we're talking...

The Home Office doesn't know whether all staff working in hotels with unaccompanied children are DBS checked.

Secret new criteria introduced to refuse Afghans from resettlement to the UK.

Afghans are n1 nationality on small boats making up 20% in 2023.

Asylum interview invitations & letters noting failure to attend posted on the same day, applications then treated as withdrawn #r4today

2 minutes on Newsnight last night to say:

The government has deliberately created a crisis as a campaign tool

They have stopped processing asylum claims, letting numbers build up, in barges or hotels, just so at the next election they can say they’re the ones to fix it #r4today
