So, from today, refugee status in the UK will be limited to 30 months - and on each review, if it is deemed that their originating country is not longer dangerous, they will be returned.
Unlike other measures to 'toughen' the refugee regime, this can be enacted merely as a change in existing rules & this requires no parliamentary scrutiny.
If, anyone thinks this will win Labour votes in the local elections, they may well be disappointed!
In the next weeks we will see an intensification of attacks both on Zack Polanski & the Green Parties, as the Right media realise actually both GPEW & the SGs represent a real challenge to their man Farage delivering the country to the Far Right.
We can expect lies, distortion & extrapolations all intended to demonise the Greens, but given the new social networks the progressive left increasingly uses (like this one) unlike previous campaigns this one may be less successful.
If you didn't expect Keir Starmer to hold the line on non-cooperation with US/Israeli air strikes on Iran, you'll be unsurprised he's now said that UK bases can be used for 'defensive' attacks on Iranian military bases.
And then he used the phrase that UK bases will be used for 'specific & limited defensive purpose'; of course, any similarity to the claims the Tories made about breaking international law is just a coincidence.
Labour's support will further ebb away.

I talked about #generalstrike a lot last year and got laughed at over it. Now it is clear that it is our last and effective tool left. #news #Politics

I know I should be happy to hear that Khamenei is dead
But the consequences of his murder will haunt Iran and the region for decades to come.
He wasn't just a political figure, but the religious leader of millions of Shia Muslims all over the world.
His murder will not go unpunished.
This is an escalation that neither US nor Israel understand.

Apologies, I was not going to post anymore on Thursday's by-election.... but I've just read this comment by an un-named Labour ministersin the FT:
'A Green victory is easily the worst outcome'....
NO!!!!: a ReformUK Ltd win would have been the worst outcome... the very idea that Labour could see Hannah Spencer's victory as worse than Matthew Goodwin & Reform winning pretty much sums up the problem with the Labour Party!

Let’s cut any bullshit. Iran’s government is not good, but America has not attacked Iran to liberate the people from its oppressive regime, it has done it purely in its own and Israel’s imperial interests. Remember the US toppled a democratically elected and popular government in Iran in 1953 because it had the temerity to want to use its natural resources for the good of its own people. The US put an autocrat who would play ball with US interests in its place, eventually leading to the Islamist revolution of 1979. The US does not give one tiny shit about the people of Iran. The US has no qualms with the oppressive regimes of Saudi Arabia or UAE. Today, think of the good people of Iran. #War #Politics #Iran

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
