Mahmood’s anti-asylum bill is “horrifying”. Burnham just voted for it

The Starmer regime’s war on human rights continues with the passage of Shabana Mahmood’s punitive ‘Immigration and Asylum Bill‘ through Parliament. Burnham rallies behind Mahmood The bill’s provisions demonise asylum seekers and wage war on human rights and Britain’s obligations under international law. Presumptive next prime minister Andy Burnham supposedly represents change — at least that’s the claim — but it’s not borne out by events so far. And the same goes in this case, as Burnham voted yesterday in support of Mahmood’s racist new law.

Mahmood’s plan to ‘win back the left’ taken to task

Labour’s hardline home secretary Shabana Mahmood is scheming to ‘win over the Labour left’, according to the Guardian. Her plan is to introduce new safe routes for refugees. According to migration activist Zoe Gardner, however, Mahmood’s proposals are little more than a rebranding exercise: Mahmood’s safe routes amount to rebranded community sponsorship.

Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force torture victims to share rooms ruled unlawful

In a ruling handed down yesterday by the High Court, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s cruel policy to force victims of torture to share rooms with strangers has been deemed unlawful. Justifying this pretty damning ruling, the court judgement states that Mahmood’s: failures amount to a serious breach of the Defendant’s public law duties, rendering the impugned policy changes unlawful. These failures refer to the fact that Mahmood did not instruct any consultations before introducing such an impactful policy change and also gave little consideration for the impacts of this policy on victims of torture, trafficking and other serious violence. Moreover, she…
