Key Points about claiming asylum: 1) You must be in the UK to claim asylum 2) There is no visa for entering the UK to claim asylum. 3) Claims ports of entry (like airports) or an Asylum Intake Unit. 4) Entering the UK without a visa and claiming asylum is an offence #Starmer #NoEmpathy
"Where can I see you live, Sooz?" WELL, good news, my gigs til the end of the year (which will be added to all the time probably) are all here. And, of course, if I'm not coming within five minutes of your own town it's ONLY because I literally hate you. www.soozkempner.co.uk/gigs

I once worked with an American guy called Randy Snowman lol
Oh thank goodness, thanks for confirming that. It’s unimaginable what people there are going though 😢
Omg, if this is your video I hope you and the dog are okay.

For those of you who don’t like to open links or don’t have instagram. I downloaded the video for you. If you haven’t heard about this guy before don’t scroll past it, his name is Jesse Welles. I promise you won’t be disappointed. #jessewelles #wellesmusic #thekaelosproject #kaelos #wordshaveweight
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
How did we get to a place where a Labour Government and Prime Minister is refusing to condemn words like 'invasion' when it comes to discussing immigration? #KierStarmer #Labour
Took my 81 year old mum to The Other Place in Stratford Upon Avon to see The two gentlemen of Verona, her first ever Shakespeare play, and we all loved it. Brilliantly acted by an incredibly talented cast. #ShakespeareSunday
This is a great idea but I don’t understand why we’d put the onus on pubs, stadiums, venues etc. to police it. We have ankle tags which seem to work, just use those and have alerts if they visit the places they’re not allowed to go. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
🔴The Reform and Conservative Politicians Mingling With Neo-Nazis and Fascists at Asylum Hotel Protests The recent wave of anti-migrant protests are providing a bridge between right-wing elected politicians and extremist groups bylinetimes.com/2025/08/21/t...
Great result for all the women who, according to the judge, found that Noel Clarke “felt that he could sexually proposition any woman he wanted” Well done @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...
Just found out that an old work colleague who I’ve fallen out of contact with over the years passed on last week as a result of a heart attack…he was mid 40’s. Love every day folks, you never know what tomorrow brings.
Spot on!
Daily smile for today... 😊 #bluesky
This is absolutely heartbreaking, and so incredibly cruel.

Should’ve handed one out 10 mins in but VAR decided to change the rules
Mediocre is super kind...
Quote disgusting and ridiculous decision by @pgmol.bsky.social, you have to wonder how incompetent those on VAR are sometimes.
Any games!
Instant demotion to a 2
I love Obama, but this is not ‘2 steps forward, 1 step back’. This is 5-9 steps back. Potentially, this is every step forward ever made reversed, and only the breakup of the country resolves it. Dems need to fight like this is the only chance they’ve got, because it is.
Likely to be the same crowd who chant ‘protect our kids’ when setting fire to asylum hotels
Genius! 🤣
The two US marines I met in a bar in Venice (Italy) a few years said something similar, although it was more about shooting or deporting everyone in the US who wasn’t white.
So loving this energy. 💙💙

Crazy money I agree. My cars are 12 and 15 years old respectively, both running brilliantly.
Well said 👏👏👏

one of the most infuriating parts of the Epstein story is over the same years that young women went to police and reported assault, and were ignored, law enforcement is pushing this idea that they need massive grants and manpower to rescue thousands of girls they say don’t even know they’re victims
Large parts of our media and politicians bear responsibility for the misconceptions voters have about migration. Via Politico
Really superb thread
Raven Bolognese!
I hear people all around me saying, “They are going to crash the economy. Surely they don’t mean to crash the economy.” I beg to differ. This is curated failure open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Yeah just be professional and polite. But bring it up regularly, at least until you get a timeline or a list of things you need to do / prove to get promoted.
Yep happens a lot. Don’t just ask once either. Ask repeatedly, remind them often. If you’re annoying enough (and good at your job) they’ll promote you just to shut you up lol
Speaking as a ‘boss’ there should be a chat at least once a year to explore what your career aspirations are and help for to achieve them. Absence of that you should request a meeting to discuss it F2F. Bad companies and bad bosses will exploit someone who doesn’t ask. Good luck!
Israel knows exactly what it’s doing in Gaza. There is a massive difference between defeating an insurgency and starving a population. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.
Yep, and that’s why the established clubs were so desperate to bring in FFP. Two new boys snuck in, and they didn’t want anyone else getting the same ideas.
This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered
And yet he was released in 2021 and his conviction overturned. Despite 60 women making allegations of sexual assault (all but 1 too late for the ‘statute of limitations’, otherwise known as the American rapist charter).

Handala @freedomflotilla.bsky.social volunteers currently detained by Israel report degrading inhumane conditions: Bedbugs, isolation, no ventilation despite temps exceeding 34 degrees Celcius (93.5F), overcrowding, violent cell searches, no showers or hygiene supplies — deprivation as torture.
Omg Drag Kings! That’s amazing. 😂

How inspiring is this team? Up against it playing a superb Spanish team, exhausted, playing their 3rd extra time in a row, behind in all 3. Up steps Chloe Kelly (who else?!) to slot home the winning penalty. First ever English football team to win a tourney on foreign soil. #Lionnesses #WomensEuros
Is he suggesting that people accused of crimes should be given due process?
Turned over from ITV to BBC1 because of the relentless negativity from the commentators and pundits on ITV. England promptly equalise. What a player Chloe Kelly is. COME ON LIONESSES! #ENGSPA #Euros
It’s deeply disheartening to see what horrors seemingly decent people will tolerate once they get into a position of power.
Legitimate Concerns?
Yay you’re on here!
It's a massive industry with little oversight and enormous profit margins. Via this 'advice' from POTUS, it potentially opens up around 60 million people in the US to forced incarceration without effective treatment, depending on state laws (most of which are woefully inadequate)

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet
Well Fantastic Four is good fun, job well done. And a spicy post credit scene sets things up nicely.
It’s really good!
It’s that time of year again. Teachers, THANK YOU for what you do. If you need help stocking your room this year, please drop a link to your Classroom Wishlists in the comments! I’ll get as much as I can, and there are always some great members of the community who chip in too!
RIP Ozzy, legend of the genre.

Surprise surprise, Cane Sugar is no different to Corn Syrup. This is such an odd timeline when crazy people can just decide something is true because they say it is and demand changes. #cocacola #Trump #RobertFKennedy www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...
As President Trump’s bitter feud with Elon Musk spilled into public view last month, aides to the president reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to carry out Trump’s threats to terminate Musk’s government contracts. It didn't work—for now.
This is like the Uyghur camps in China, except the US government is doing it nationwide and to children. The future looks very scary at the moment.
Brian Allen Cops were caught on camera beating anti-ICE protesters on the Ohio–Kentucky state line bridge; then dragging them off in zip-ties like it was open season on dissent. They didn’t de-escalate. They cracked down. And they made sure the cameras saw it. BreitbartNews
Cool
His corner threw in the towel on the count of 9, so even if the ref had allowed it to go on it was over. A lot of people are just horrible and stupid.
As opposed to to ‘blood’
Excellent point
According to a quick google search it takes 4-5 mins for someone to die from strangulation, although they can be unconscious within 10 seconds. So that’s an excellent question.
Zack Polanski, deputy leader of @greenparty.org.uk, said: “Right now, we subsidise jet fuel instead of trains. That’s a political choice and it’s time for this government to make different ones." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yeah should get a fine and a ban for that.
He slapped Joao Pedro in the throat after the final whistle.
‘One monster shouted: "I remember when genocide was a bad thing!" and he was swiftly dragged away into a police van. Everyone who loves genocide applauded.’
Can we calculate how long the light has actually traveled for? Given that the universe is only 13.8Bn years old so the number is obviously stretched due to expansion.
Superb analysis and commentary on how the current US administration has hastened the demise of its global leadership status. ‘Americans really have no idea how bad the situation is for them.’ #Trump #Republicans

Who would arrest them for doing it?
Maybe they mean the rings you wear on your fingers….? Nope. Sorry just can’t! 😀😂😂
❤️THIS is what EVERYONE should be striving for EVERYWHERE! If you are fueled by HATE, ask yourself, “Who benefits from my trying to harm &destroy another?” It isn’t you. It’s Billionaires who use you. We common-folk benefit MOST when we find our common humanity &celebrate our beautiful differences.
Hearing that Red Bull have sacked Christian Horner, due to be announced tomorrow morning apparently. He’s already gone allegedly. #F1 #Formula1 #RedBull
Just been to see the new Jurassic World film with my son, was quite fun actually. Definitely better than expected and some good funny moments.
SAP already nailed this
And that’s a follow! 😂
Kier Starmer had an open goal, just don’t be worse than the Tories were. And here we are, this government making draconian decisions to ban peaceful protest.
