- I first met Gerry when I was 16 and volunteered for Searchlight. Completely committed, enormously knowledgeable about the far Right, and open to work with any serious anti-fascists. I learned a lot from him. May his memory be for a blessing.

- Unsurprising Labour Govt has gone down rabbit hole of talking as if asylum-seeking can be ended. They listen to immigration officials, in a fantasy island isolated even from other civil servants. When Diane Abbott was Shadow Home Sec, she made no attempt to create an alternative policy. But…
- Mahmoud has listened to same clique of senior Home Office officials who have advised for 30+ years that loud announcements of punitive policies will deter refugees from coming to UK to seek asylum. Labour did this extensively last time. It didn’t work. A history thread. +

- Reposted by Simon CoxThe only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety.
