10 h. ago There are plenty of ways to humanely control British borders. So why isn’t Keir Starmer using them? | Enver Solomon

Labour’s incoherent asylum policies are vilifying refugees. A better and more compassionate route is possibleJust 24 hours after he described providing asylum as the “mark of a decent, compassionate country”, Keir Starmer said the UK had been too “generous” towards refugees, and announced a plan to end what he described as the asylum “golden ticket,” which allows people to resettle their families in Britain. For a refugee who has pulled the body of their child from the rubble of their bombed-out home, or made a perilous journey alone as a young adult having lost their family, it certainly doesn’t feel this way.The government believes that to deter refugees from crossing the Channel in small boats, it must restrict their ability to reunite in Britain with their immediate family. It must also make it impossible for them to achieve settled status if they have ever claimed benefits or received a criminal record.Enver Solomon is chief executive of the Refugee Council Continue reading...

11 h. ago ‘Trump’s decomposing ear of corn’: what does ‘hair certainty’ tell us about our leaders?

From Starmer’s stiff quiff to the Maga movement’s glossy TV locks, a politician’s mane can speak volumes – it says as much about what side of the divide they sit on as it does about the prevailing political windsLabour has an image problem. In a recent YouGov survey, people expressed a view that the party is “dishonest”, “only interested in themselves”, and “the same as the rest”. It’s no wonder that they are currently, terrifyingly, 10 points behind Reform in the polls. They also, by a slightly different – you could say less data-driven – metric, have a different kind of image problem. They lack “hair certainty”, from the top down. The idea of “hair certainty” was coined by the writer Simon Doonan. Writing in the buildup to the 2016 presidential election that would see Donald Trump first take office, he explained: “Presidential hair = hair with certainty Hair-certainty describes hair that is what it appears to be. No illusions. No Greco-Roman fakery. Presidential hair can be thick ...
