I went to a kebab shop that has sponsored 7 skilled worker visas. What skills do you need to work in a kebab shop that requires you to import people into Britain?

The cleric was assassinated by an Islamist extremist. Funny how BBC News don’t add that into their headline…

Sheikh Yahaya Ibrahim Masussuka was a prominent moderate Sufi preacher in Nigeria known for advocating interfaith dialogue and opposing violent extremism. Ansaru claimed responsibility, citing his peace efforts as the motive. bbc.com/news/articles/… pmnewsnigeria.com/2026/10/27/pop…

Canada operated a similar scheme. When it was extended to Winnipeg, 7,000 applications were received - every single one was a family member of someone already resident in Canada. This will be widely abused as a form of chain family migration.
From today, charities can apply to sponsor refugees through new, capped Named Community Sponsorship and Refugee study safe and legal routes. Sponsors will provide accommodation, integration support and help finding work. First arrivals are expected in autumn 2027.

If you don’t like pubs, drinking, or the thought of your kids indulging in British culture, it’s generally not a good idea to live in Britain.

It’s NOT an epidemic claims the left wing Economist, despite them highlighting how some nationalities commit sex crimes in many multiples vs the British public.

It looks like yet another loophole for low-skilled migrants. Why would we accept refugees from any of these countries when many host refugees themselves? None of them are engaged in a serious war. All of them have citizens who come to Britain on work visas…
The refugee sponsorship route will initially apply to refugees in the countries below. There are over 4 million registered refugees in these countries - including 853k Afghans, 375k Somalians, and 83k Syrians. The Home Secretary is yet to put a cap on how many could arrive.

I give it less than 12 months before this disastrous policy has serious ramifications. Shabana Mahmood will have to take full responsibility for any severe consequences, it is her new flagship policy after all.

NEW: British families face the weakest growth in incomes since records began, economists have warned - IFS No commitment to cutting benefits by Burnham and Healey rules out ‘crude’ cuts to welfare. Young Brits will be paying the debt for successive govt failures for decades.

Mr Kumar & a group of other wealthy Oxford Phd students went on a campaign of accusing me of racism over ten years ago he had never met me but decided I was racist based on 2 articles I had written in the Guardian (you can still read them & judge for yourself). They ridiculed me bullied me on line for several years because of my class & that I was white & had a mixed race son referring to me as 'Becky' & because I had grown up on a council estate they laughed about me being rough, sexually promiscuous (Becky) & stupid all the white working class girl stereotypes. It is of no surprise that this man is now bullying a Jewish woman on television & is in fact responsible for the Greens racist turn.

This is mad. No poppies in a pub?! George is joining me at 9.45pm on @GBNEWS to talk through the incident.
VETERANS wearing a Poppy are BANNED from from Wetherspoons WOW. Manager of Gosport Wetherspoons states it’s ‘Company policy’ to not allow anyone in with a Remembrance Poppy on as it ‘could be political’ I can’t believe what I just heard from our nations biggest pub chain. Veterans wearing a poppy are banned from Wetherspoons.

True on both accounts 😆 I suspect when the robots arrive they will also pivot to “Robots lives matter”, perhaps also with Palestine flags.

The BBC have now, very quietly taken down their left wing indoctrination video game. It’s almost like it should never have been allowed in the first place…
BBC Bitesize is ‘indoctrinating’ and ‘brainwashing’ children. On @GBNEWS Here is what I’ve found 👇
