Helen Whateley explaining the Conservative's latest policy idea of restricting purchases of cigarettes and alcohol for people on benefits on #BBCQT "Supermarkets can have a code which stops people from purchasing a particular (item)" then cites "Aspen cards used by failed asylum seekers" My view: Helen Whately says supermarkets...

Surely even if you thought this was a good idea (I don’t) the administrative costs would far exceed any monies “saved”.

MPs receive public money for their wages. So perhaps we should do the same, over what they can spend their wages on?

Supermarkets could refuse payment from this card if the shopping contained alcohol products They already have mechanisms for this. The card doesn't have to do anything, the supermarkets do However, this will only work for large scale stores and will have a million workarounds

That’s not what the Bank of England is proposing. A digital pound hasn’t even been approved yet, and the Bank and Treasury explicitly say neither would be able to programme your money or decide what products you can buy. Any programmable features would require the user’s consent. There are legitimate privacy questions around any CBDC, and those deserve scrutiny. But jumping from “digital pound” to “the state will control what you’re allowed to buy” goes beyond what is actually being proposed.

If supermarket can have a code to stop if hold is buying bearing cigarettes then they can also have a special quote to make sure they stop overcharging customers for basic commodities. I give a fair price back to farmers

What would you want to happen to you if this country was an unliveable basketcase -audience claps- and that is your answer" "France takes 3x more asylum seekers than we do.

Labour's Jonathan Reynolds slams Conservative Helen Whately on #BBCQT "Frankly there's no evidence to suggest that unemployed people spend all their money on fags and booze" "It's just a way of you saying you don't like poor people" My view: Whately shakes her head in disagreement, but why else would a party be so cruel to those in need if not because it sees poverty as a moral failure? There is no evidence that people on unemployment support are frittering it away on “fags and booze”. It is a tired stereotype used to make cuts sound virtuous. Benefits are already too low for many people to cover food, rent, heating and basic dignity, and as the cost-of-living crisis deepens, those cuts will mean even more hardship. Is this really the country we want to be: one that responds to people in need by making them suffer even more?

🇬🇧 WHISTLEBLOWER: FAILED ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE VANISHING FROM HOTELS DAILY A whistleblower working in migrant hotels says the number of failed asylum seekers disappearing every day is “terrifying.” The contractor described total “chaos” and a system that quietly logs absconders but does little else. Once someone’s asylum claim is rejected, they’re given a move-out date and many simply walk out before enforcement ever shows up. They’re marked as “left the hotel,” and the Home Office gets a notification. That’s it. The Home Office says nearly 50,000 people with no right to stay have been removed and that enforcement arrests are at record levels. But a new National Audit Office report shows the government doesn’t even know how many have absconded or where most rejected asylum seekers are now. Hotel use has surged, with over 36,000 migrants currently living in taxpayer-funded accommodation. The asylum system cost the UK £4.9 billion last year - not including legal aid or local council support. Only 9% of rejected applicants tracked in one study were actually deported. The rest? Some were approved later, many remain in limbo, and thousands may be lost in the system. Source: Sky News, Daily Mail

This is painful to watch. Lucy Powell stutters and squirms as she’s questioned about the Home Office migrant booklet. She went to extraordinary lengths to ignore the actual question — she really does not want to admit the truth or acknowledge what the booklet implies, and spends the entire interview dodging it. It starts simply. She’s asked by Tom Swarbrick: “Why are these pamphlets necessary?” Simple question. They’re pretty self-explanatory. Not for Lucy, who’s still clearly in denial: “I don’t know the background to these pamphlets, but what I do know…” She then quickly changes the subject and starts talking about the rule of law. Yes Lucy, we all know the rule of law. Now back to the pamphlet. 😂 Tom tries again. Blunt and to the point: “You’re not issuing guidance about rules on littering. You’re issuing pamphlets about not rping women. Is this the government acknowledging that some asylum seekers are a risk to women?” Lucy, now like a stuttering repetitive robot: “I don’t know the background to these particular pamphlets…” Tom cuts her off to help, but she just talks over him saying “it’s part of a range of measures we’re doing…” Kate Garraway jumps in to keep her on the subject of the pamphlet. Lucy starts shouting over her to avoid the question: “THE ASYLUM SYSTEM IS ROBUST” and launches into statistics. Tom jumps back in: “Yes, that’s right, but I do need to press you on this. There will be a lot of people watching who will be very concerned by this. If this is the government acknowledging that there is some risk among this group of people who arrive about the safety of women, how can the government reassure people that those asylum seekers can be let into communities?” Lucy again completely ignores the question and talks about “speeding up the asylum process” and removing people who have no right to be here. Lucy, none of them have any right to be here! Stop deflecting and answer the question! Kate Garraway has another go: “That isn’t the point though, is it? We’re trying to address this extraordinary pamphlet from the Home Office which is specifically saying to asylum seekers, ‘Child abuse is wrong. Do not r*p* women.’ Why would you give that to a group of asylum seekers if you didn’t feel concerned they might not already know that?” Lucy gets a little closer but still ignores the specifics. Instead she says she “appreciates people’s concerns around asylum hotels and houses of multiple occupancy” and “that’s why we’ve taken huge steps to close down these hotels and process applications much more quickly”, then repeats the line about removing people “who have no right to be here”. She refused to answer the actual question for the whole interview. It’s her own party’s government that released the pamphlet! Absolutely incredible. This is the same woman who previously accused people talking about grooming gangs of “dog whistle” politics, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

Yesterday, I questioned the Chair of the EHRC about the new Code of Practice, and the harm it poses to trans people and others who do not conform to gender stereotypes. The Code suggests employees of a business or a service should enforce restrictions based on evidence such as “the individual’s physique or physical appearance, behaviour or concerns raised by other service users.” When asked to specify what these would be, the Chair couldn't answer and instead spoke about “common sense”. The truth is that people would be relying on gender stereotypes, which are harmful not only for trans people but for others as well.

Channel 4 News cover the creation and rise of hotels for asylum seekers Your reminder that it was the Conservative government that created this problem by stopping the processing of asylum seeker applications because they thought their Rwanda scheme which only send 4 volunteers to Rwanda was the solution to the UK being outside the EU with Brexit and unable to return asylum seekers back to the first country they entered the EU as we were no long party to the Dublin agreement, which in turn is the reason why so many asylum seekers come to the UK on small boats because they know that outside the EU the mechanism to return them no longer exists I.e. all of this was created by the Conservatives and Labour are now in. the process of trying to fix this, and while they've done some positive things they still have a long way to go, including doing the thing which they repeatedly called for in opposition but still haven't done in government: safe and legal routes

Unelected bureaucrat David Cameron explains how we need the Rwanda plan because of Brexit 🤦‍♂️ Anushka Asthana, "Hand on heart. If this had come up when you were PM, would you have gone with this Rwanda policy?" David Cameron, "We had a situation where you could return people directly to France.. People land on a beach in Kent, you take them straight back to France.. You therefore break the model of the people smugglers" Anushka Asthana, "Shouldn't you be trying to get that?" David Cameron, "That's not available at the moment" Anushka Asthana, "Because of Brexit?" David Cameron, "(Yes) Because of the situation we are in (having left the EU)" The UK has participated in the Dublin process since it was inaugurated in 1990. When the UK left the EU, the UK left the Dublin agreement and we no longer have the automatic right to return asylum seekers back to France. So Brexit was to take back control from unelected bureaucrats, and here we have David Cameron an unelected bureaucrat in charge of our foreign policy. And Brexit was about taking control of our borders and asylum seekers, and we've lost the ability to return asylum seekers to France, and instead have to spend over £1,000,000 to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, in a 1 in 1 out policy i.e. for every asylum seeker we send to Rwanda, they send us one of their asylum seekers, so we don't have fewer asylum seekers, we're just shuffling asylum seekers around. Hundreds of millions for a PR campaign to appease racists while there is a cost of living crisis in the UK and millions of Brits living in poverty. Disgraceful.

ELON: THE AMOUNT OF LAWFARE WE’VE SEEN UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS OUTRAGEOUS “The amount of lawfare that we're seeing taking place [under the Biden administration] is outrageous. There are many examples, but the Department of Justice, for example, launched a huge lawsuit against SpaceX for failing to hire asylum seekers. Not those who were granted asylum, asylum seekers. There's a law called International Traffic and Arms Regulations. [It says that] because SpaceX develops advanced missile technology that can be used in nuclear ICBMs, we have to be very careful with who we hire. We can only hire someone if they're a permanent resident or a citizen. That's what the ITAR law says. Then there's another law that says that you cannot discriminate against asylum seekers. So, we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. The DOJ did a massive lawsuit against SpaceX for failing to hire asylum seekers, even though it is illegal for us to hire asylum seekers under ITAR law. This is an actual thing that's going on. And they can only do a fairly small number of lawsuits every year. So, why did they pick this one? Lawfare.” Source: Interview with Tucker Carlson, October 2024

Why are our politicians so afraid to say this out loud? “We actually do need a wall and we need to require people to have some shred of evidence to claim asylum to enter, as everyone is doing that. It’s a hack that you can literally Google to know exactly what to say!” To date, 2,388,350 illegals have crossed over the border this year, already surpassing last year’s total. Drug trafficking, child trafficking, illegal crossings and our government couldn’t care less. Video: Griff Jenkins

Black American shares “My thoughts on Trump cutting benefits” with the Big Beautiful Bill Medicaid Cuts “So as somebody that grew up on government assistance and food stamps, I'm not mad at Trump at all for cutting some of the government benefits that they've given out. Because, y', all, let's not act as if people aren't abusing this. Let's not act as if we ain't got an epidemic of people who just don't want to go to work because they expect the government to take care of them. I saw two people on TikTok the other day arguing, and it was a man and a woman, and the man wanted to go to work. The woman was mad at him, yelling at him, would not let him go to work because of the fact if they found out about his income, she would lose her government funded housing and she would lose her benefits, and she would not let the man go to work because she didn't want to lose that. And I think that's an issue in America, bro. Like, there's a lot of people that do that” The government assistance is a stepping stone to help you get to a point to where you can get back on your feet and do for yourself and take care of yourself — Nobody is owed anything by the government. Nobody is owed anything by America. Nobody deserves no handouts, bro.” “Y' all can get up and go, get off y' all behind and do some work”

$60,000 balance seen on an EBT card “The largest that I've heard about is right at around $60,000 on an EBT card. Nobody's going hungry in that house, obviously.” “One of the ways that people commit food stamp fraud or SNAP fraud is you get a card and it's got a certain amount of value to it, then you sell it for less than the value of what you can buy in terms of food, but you sell it for cash. It creates incentives for people to, number one, acquire as many cards as possible, number two, to keep as high a balance on these cards as possible. I've seen cards as much as $20,000, this was on an EBT card. So how does that happen — People are just kept on the program for years, and they keep rolling these balances up and whether they're using the card or not. they're supposed to get rid of it and expunge the benefits after 9 months. But if all you go and do is buy a stick of gum once every 9 months, your balance in your card, even if you're no longer on SNAP, that card is still good. It's happening across the country. In fact, the largest that I've heard about is right at around $60,000 on an EBT card. No- nobody's going hungry in that house, obviously.”

Kamala Harris goes on a bizarre rant about the “light inside people” during her appearance on The View. What on earth is she talking about? Harris has clearly learned nothing from her brutal election loss...when she failed to connect with everyday Americans. Word salad like this is exactly why no one took her seriously then...and still don’t now. “And I do believe that moving forward we’re going to remember that the power ultimately is with the people and we have to remind folks that they cannot let their light and their spirit be diminished by who happens to be in the Oval Office at this moment.” “And that’s part of what I hope to achieve with the book is to remind us, people by the tens of thousands for those of you who were there came to those events with such enthusiasm and optimism and dare I say joy….” “About the possibilities for our country and that light is inside people.” “It’s there and it cannot be diminished or extinguished by an election or an individual and we have to remember that. That light is inside us, and it’s inside each of us and we have to see it in each other and let that guide us through this very dark time.”

Mamdani on Arch/Ballroom/Club Rose Garden: My message would be that this is not what government has to be. This is not the only vision for what it looks like to have politics in this country—that is so divorced from the needs and wants of everyday people. And what we are looking to show in New York City is an alternative to what has led so many to become disenchanted with the political process. We want to show that not only can government work, but it must, and that at its core, our responsibility is to working people—to ensure that we’re doing everything to make their lives easier. That has to be what drives our actions, and for too long, government has felt more like a distraction than a fulfillment of the needs of the people who’ve been left behind by the politics of today.

Man in black, "Will compulsory IDs stop the small boats? Lisa Nandy waffles a bit Fiona Bruce, "How will the digital ID cards work?" Lisa Nandy, "People will be able to prove their right to be here, to work here, legally, very easily, which will help us deal with the illegal economy" Then Nandy cites the success of the NHS app which is actually a bit of a disaster "Beware of any politician who tells you that getting control of immigration there is one single solution.. We are coming at this from every single angle, disrupting the gangs" (Hang on, are we talking about immigration or asylum seekers?) Richard Tice, "We know disrupting the gangs doesn't work" Lisa Nandy, "Sorry Richard, you've had a lot to say this week and its a different story every time" Fiona Bruce, "Will it be compulsory to carry ID cards?" Lisa Nandy, "PM will outline tomorrow.. But I will tell you beware the snake oil salesmen who tell you there are simple solution, if there were simple solutions they would have been done by now" Adding, "Don't buy what this guy is selling" referring to Richard Tice

Meet Dr Hari Reed, another Piddington resident. Hari signed this open letter around a year ago… Hari is also the joint CEO of the charity “Asylum Welcome”, who wrote the open letter. Open letter coordinated by Asylum Welcome bel: - “We are deeply concerned by the escalating hostility being directed towards people seeking asylum who are currently housed in our county. Dehumanising language, as well as actions such as intimidating asylum seekers or filming outside hotels, should have no place in our communities. They cause real harm, fuelling division and danger, and inflict fear and distress on already vulnerable people. It is vital to remember that people in hotel accommodation are here because they are fleeing war, dictatorship, persecution, and terrorism. They are men, women and children seeking safety and waiting for their claims to be processed. They did not choose to live in hotels; the Home Office decides where they are housed. Families and individuals in our county have no control over these arrangements. Vulnerable people are being used as a political football. Our clients tell us they feel frightened and unwelcome when they see hostility directed at the places where they are forced to live. Many are already traumatised by what they have endured, and these actions deepen their isolation and despair. At the same time, we also witness asylum seekers’ resilience, dignity, mutual solidarity and eagerness to contribute to British society. Their perspective, and the compassion shown by many local people, is too often missing from public debate. Asylum Welcome has around 300 volunteers: local people who choose to give their time and energy to welcome newcomers. They see first-hand the difference that kindness makes — and they embody the Oxfordshire tradition of hospitality that should define us all. Oxford and Oxfordshire are proud of their traditions of welcome. We call on political representatives, community leaders, and residents to affirm unity, reject hate, and ensure our county remains a place of safety. Facts matter: •Seeking asylum is a legal right under UK and international law, regardless of how someone arrives. Article 31 of the 1951 Refugee Convention — which the UK helped draft — makes clear refugees must not be penalised for entering a country irregularly to claim asylum. •People in hotels are following the process required of them. The use of hotels is a Home Office policy, not the choice of asylum seekers, who are banned from working and survive on less than £10 a week for all essentials beside food. •These are not “luxury hotels” – they are former hotels taken over and run by private companies working for the Home Office. Conditions are basic: shared rooms, poor-quality food, isolation, and long periods of waiting with no control over their lives. •People seeking asylum are not a single group. They include families, children, LGBTQ+ people facing persecution, political activists, journalists, religious minorities, and young men escaping forced conscription. Men who make the journey ahead of their families are doing so because they are risking their own lives first, in the hope of later bringing loved ones through safe and legal routes — routes which are now extremely limited or closed. •International law does not require refugees to seek asylum in the first safe country they reach. If it did, only border states would take responsibility, and the global asylum system would collapse. The UK currently receives fewer than 1% of the world’s refugees. •There is no credible evidence that people seeking asylum commit more crimes than the UK-born population. Claims to the contrary are fuelled by misinformation. We ask everyone in Oxfordshire to uphold our values of dignity, humanity, and neighbourliness. We stand together in solidarity with people seeking asylum.”

The Woman Food Rider Who Dresses Like a Man to Work Karachi’s Streets at Night A woman who has been working as a food delivery rider on the streets of Karachi for several years rides her motorcycle for around 12 hours every day to support her four children. But the most unusual aspect of her work is that she disguises herself as a man when leaving home at night for food deliveries, so that people do not recognise her as a woman. “People look at me strangely and realise that I am a woman. They say, ‘You don’t have a husband, you don’t have a father, so why are you working?’ If I had someone to support me, would I be doing this kind of work?” she says. Mehak lives in Karachi’s Sardar Lines area and has been working as a food rider for the past six years. She says riding a motorcycle was once her passion. Before marriage, she learned to ride first a bicycle and then a motorcycle with the help of her brother. But eventually, that passion became a means of earning a living.
