The irony of hearing a UK appeals court judge say Rwanda’s asylum system is unsafe for refugees, who might find themselves sent back to their country of origin. *They* have an unsafe asylum system, eh?

George Osborne can add to his list of achievements the creation of a generation of hobbits. Well done, Tories. theguardian.com/business/2023/…

Can we be clear that the Eastern US is covered in a blanket of lethal smoke because *Canada is burning*, & still it's business as usual. At what point would human beings become capable of thinking & feeling beyond a five-minute envelope of self-interest? (Answer: at no point.)

Thank you so much to everyone who's messaged me - publicly & privately - with messages of support. It's hugely appreciated. I'm meeting with my lawyers on Monday to discuss next steps but this is my crowdfunder for those asking 🙏 gofundme.com/f/democracy-th…

The misuse of 'whereby' is the plague and ruin of our time.

@a_webb @secrettory12 There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?

World becomes briefly conscious of the UK. “WTF?” says world. Shakes head. Returns to ignoring small and insignificant island state. Refugees, inexplicably, continue to arrive anyway.

When we find ourselves treating baby formula like single malt whiskey, putting it behind the counter so desperate people don’t steal it, we are really telling ourselves we are a failed society.

Writing of Eve's and Adam's fall in Book IX of Paradise Lost, a student laments that, once they have tasted, 'excess runts rampant'. I dare you to do better on a public platform.
