Now confirmed August 2025 had the lowest boat crossings since 2019, and the fewest migrants on them since 2021. After a rough first half to the year, things could be turning round. Governments "one in one out" trial with France started at the beginning of August.

I totally agree with you Dan unless the decent British public wake up to the threat of Reform in government we will be sliding into it the same as we did with Brexit. Lies and promises will get them into power and it will be too late - just look at the US and Trump!

Far right politico’s already using inflammatory language to foment trouble and encourage civil disorder. This is completely unacceptable, the law of the land is paramount. Any protests should be banned and dissent crushed.

Are they doing it defiantly though? I suppose some people think that’s what they’re doing, but all of them? I’d just like to see our national symbols reclaimed from far-right populists and halfwits. The best way to do that is stick them up and not make a big deal of it.

The UK has provided humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, such as £75 million announced in 2022 to address severe hunger, but this was channeled through UN agencies and NGOs, not directly to the Taliban. Claims about "giving money" often oversimplify complex aid mechanisms.
Simon Gosden (@simongosden.bsky.social) reply parent
He hasn’t. That’s goes to NGOs that operate in Afghanistan.
