" ... [T]he Home Office told Ashkar that it had been denied on the grounds that granting it would 'harm the public interest', without giving any further reasons or explanation."
@riggs7sct Authoritarian cruelty has become the hallmark of the Home Office in the last few years, and the Labour party haven't deviated from the government line on arms sales to Israel, so I'm not expecting any better from them after the election.
@riggs7sct Eugh. The regional manager in Scotland isn't any better than our new one here in Wales - bought and paid for by backroom deals with Keith not to argue for increased devolution, and funded by a convicted criminal whose donation came from funds issued to him from the Welsh Govt department run by ... Vaughan Gething 🤬
All the same dirty politics for the most part, as they're all mates wi each other. The defection by Natalie Elphicke shows this, as does the rumour that more tories are considering doing the same... 😏
@riggs7sct IKR? As has been said here before, I don't know why the Labour party don't just cross the aisle en masse themselves and save us all the time and bother.
I guess it wouldn't give the Westminster whisperers much to write about, given that they've been studiously ignoring the lurch to the right by Starmer 🤷♀️
