It's time for cooking with Sohege. Trying to wrap my head around the recipe for lamb breast, but it includes wine so sure it will all be okay. 1/
Well, this is a brilliant start. It doesn't fit in the dish. Going well folks. 2/
Oh thank God it shrinks. 3/
This seems like a lot of onions for a two person meal. Why do I have a feeling my wife is going to give me a "look" when she gets home? Yes, I am doing this unsupervised, so please pray.
Yeah, I not using the whole load. This is half and that's going to have to be enough. 5/
It was the right call, otherwise it wouldn't fit in the pan. 6/
Three hours to go and we'll see if I made the right choice. Then again, I have enough wine that by that time I probably won't care. 7/
Aaand we are back with prepping anchovies, so long as I stop eating them and leave enough for the sauce. 8/
Pretty sure there was meant to be more liquid for this part and I hadn't just had to scrape half melted fat off the lamb. It's all going swimmingly. 9/
For those wondering. It was... edible. 10/

Utter nonsense. First off the individuals had already served their sentences, some years previously, so if they still posed a threat than that is a failure of the prison system and presents a fundamental question of why more isn't being invested to reduce recidivism rates. 1/
Secondly, we are talking about a number of people who have no links to the countries they are being removed to, and who left them at young ages. This just places them at risk of being targeted by gangs, which doesn't exactly benefit anyone. 2/
On the most recent flight there were people suffering severe illness, people aged in their 60's who served their sentences seven years previously. People with children who will now grow up without dads. This does nothing to make the streets safer. 3/

Interesting display of Home Office's media campaign hitting its target I suspect. Overall attitudes have remained fairly stable, between 25 and 30%, but a more significant issue for Conservative voters. Even there though it has only hit 50% or over twice, this August and last. 1/
Particularly interesting as, despite overall numbers of asylum applications being down, August is one of the months when we typically see an increase in channel crossings and therefore media attention from some sections has been focused on this in the "build up". 2/
The way in which immigration peaks as a concern in August also suggests though, albeit tentatively, that the Home Office's conflation of immigration and asylum systems, e.g. the whole "jumping the queue narrative" is cutting through with its intended audience. 3/

One of most flawed arguments I get thrown at me on a regular basis is "why don't you take them in" when it comes to refugees. I would on this note recommend @RefugeesAtHome if you do have space and can. It's not exactly a realistic argument though as a wider policy proposal. 1/
Unless you have the resources of a nation state the argument itself is spurious at best. A state has resources which the average person doesn't have, and currently the UK is spending about £392million p/a of those resources on immigration enforcement. 2/

That's £392 million on measures which just end up benefitting the criminal gangs by creating the circumstances which force asylum seekers into their hands. It's also predicted that amount will rise to about £412 million under Patel's new plan. 3/

LONG THREAD: There have been quite a few things flying around recently about asylum seekers, the Borders Bill, rescues at sea, channel crossings and just general related bits and bobs which it might help clearing up some misconceptions about. 1/
First off #channelcrossings. Yes they are up in numbers, but, and this is really quite important, they are down at the moment in overall terms. This makes it quite hard to seriously argue, as some have, that the asylum system is "overwhelmed". 2/
commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…
As I said though, they are up, but if you look at the timeline of the increase it really isn't that surprising. With other routes closed, including effectively resettlement routes, asylum seekers are left with little other choice than to use them. 3/

Overlooking the fact that the majority of those crossing the channel are in need. Paying smugglers is a sign of need. You aren't risking your life just for fun. It's time that likes of @CPhilpOfficial stopped politicising those seeking safety and started providing that safety.
The argument that if you can afford to pay smugglers you aren't a "genuine refugee" is blatantly ludicrous and collapses under even the most cursory scrutiny, yet likes of @CPhilpOfficial and @pritipatel keep churning it out as if it is unquestionable fact.
Do you know why the vast majority of people displaced in the world are "internally displaced"? Because crossing borders is expensive. The poorest are often left to die. Until they cross that border though they aren't classed as a refugee.

There are some interesting points raised by @publiclawcentre which I think are definitely worth considering. For my part I agree in principle that creating the narrative distinction between "migrants" and "refugees" is problematic, however, at this current moment.... 1/
I do also think it is necessary, provided, and this is the crucial part, that it is made clear that the distinction is not to imply any negative connotation to "migrants". In the UK, currently, the asylum and immigration systems are effectively separate, and for good reason. 2/
Take the whole "jumping the queue" line so beloved of the Home Office at present. Refugees, by the very nature of their circumstances, are protected under international law against being penalised for their manner of entry. There is no "queue" for them to jump. 3/
