- 'By allowing smuggling networks to decide who is and isn’t allowed to cross, the UK and French governments have handed over the fundamental right of access to asylum to these organised criminal networks,” the report states.'
- Rather than pushing yet more hostile anti-asylum policies, Labour needs to be actually supporting people. UK policies and rhetoric have the inevitable consequences of not only forcing more people towards gangs, but increasing violence used against them. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
- 'Which brings me to one question I’d like to ask the health secretary: however much he prettifies it, why is he picking over the number of diagnoses, when he could be focusing on why our systems of work, education and care are still so closed off to the people who get them?'
- Latest from me: on overdiagnosis, a craze/bandwagon the govt is indulging by commissioning an official review, complete with the clunky blurring of mental illness & neurodivergence www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
