Shabana Mahmood accused of hiding impact of migration shake‑up
Among other things Mahmood's anti-immigration/asylum policies will, without question: 🚨 Increase homelessness 🚨 Increase exploitation 🚨 Undermine community cohesion efforts and embolden the far right 🚨 Undermine human rights 🚨 Cost more They have no positives. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
Dan Sohege86As Home Secretary, Mahmood is imposing such massively inhumane policies they go further than Braverman/Patel.

«One person with knowledge of the standoff said: “Shabana has been asked on multiple occasions what the Home Office assessment was of the impact her changes would have on homelessness and community cohesion, but she point-blank refused to engage with it.”»
Zach Elsbury16If Mahmood refuses to engage with colleagues about her plans, sack her. An un-collegiate minister has no place in cabinet government.
Colin Elves5I think people need to decide what’s more important here: the economy, dignity for older people and our streets free of the homeless and destitute, or reducing the official migration figures. And we know the answer: we must stop people moving the UK, no matter how poor and miserable that makes us.
Neil Goodrich5Of course it will. That's why she's running from it. We have been poorly served by SoS for the Home Office, chief among the apparent qualities needed these days is a willingness to ignore object reality and avoid proper scrutiny and accountability for one's actions.
Mac the squirrel :)3Following uk politics is a center left government doing normal things and then there is just the Most Racist Woman Alive running the home office
