What could
possibly go wrong!
The government is planning to remove licensing requirements for asylum-seeker accommodation in a bid to move thousands out of hotels - but critics have warned the plan will strip people of basic housing protections.
Under the changes, landlords will be allowed to house asylum seekers for two years without getting the property recognised as a house in multiple occupation (HMO).
This would create exemptions from regulations governing electrical safety and minimum room sizes, according to The Guardian which first reported on the story....

Wannabe Hoogstratens will be rubbing their hands in anticipation of the deregulated taxpayer-funded windfall coming their way.

Another thing that would probably blow up in their face though. I live in Northamptonshire, a blue, very NIMBY area and residents get very peeved about licenced HMO's as it is so having unlicensed ones popping up will go down like a bucket of cold sick:
"Guess what, theyre not going to filling up that crappy hotel in the middle of town with boat people anymore"
"Great"
"Yeah, but that dilapidated 5 bedder at the end of your street? They're going in there"
"WHAAAAAAAT!"

And the extra burden on the NHS when the inevitable accidents happen in overcrowded houses that don't meet basic safety requirements.
The upsurge in violence fuelled by racist and xenophobic rhetoric from the Home Secretary.

I’d love to see a hidden camera documentary of Yaxley-Lennon types - and probably a few senior Tories - discussing what they *really* think of Braverman. Ideally with the footage then played back in front of her.
It really beggars belief she’s oblivious to the fact the very people she’s pandering to with her ‘send the buggers back’ laws would ideally like to send her and her parents ‘back’ as well.

Useful idiots have always been amongst us. The little old lady at the end of the corridor who regularly denounced her neighbours to the. KGB for counter-revolutionary talk never thought Uncle Joe would think badly of her.

I think this is a distinct possibility. Sunak ought to sack her obviously, but at the same time she won't be able to go on doing this stuff without John Hayes and pals telling her to resign.

Meanwhile, this reeks of Braverman pushing behind the scenes to fit up ‘lefty lawyers’ and add to her preferred narrative that the law - and your choice to make government stick to it - is a political one.

The NCA has new legislative tools to use as it seeks to target solicitors it believes are working with trafficking gangs. Section 63 of the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 has made it an offence to make a referral of a case of modern slavery in “bad faith”.
They offer not a scrap of evidence that there are bent solicitors here, or that if there are they are acting for anything other than financial motives. Not a scintilla.

So solicitors are going to be scrutinised and investigated to see if they're doing what nobody is actually doing? Rather like photo ID being required to vote to stamp out non-existent voter fraud.
Bunch of wankers, that Tory government.

I may be wrong here, but I thought the real problem with people trafficking, is people traffickers

It’s that age-old problem of balancing racism and bigotry and a desire by some to be above the law (or to say who gets the benefit of any given law) against rich people with questionable ethics quite liking a ready supply of very, very cheap labour.
See also: rich Americans loving their cheap, hardworking Mexican maid and nanny, but wanting a wall built that they can stand on and shoot Mexicans from.
It’s almost like right-wing politics are often a hideous mess of contradictions only held together by a central thread of “WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?!? GIMME!! NO, NONE FOR YOU, WEIRDO.”

They are rushing through the student numbers thing this week apparently, it’s a weak attempt to fix figures and no more.
Which tells you how likely their immigration plans elsewhere are working. Perfectly allows Starmer to act on the main stage once they lose though. Suppose again it’s their belief that the people will flood back when they notice some figures have gone down, it’s like growth and inflation.
People only notice it if hits them directly, this is just a fucking dumb policy that hurts Universities and is solely being implemented because their other policies are fucking dumb and they made it a pledge, I assume they will start bullying the hundreds on the waiting lists back to work and probably pushing them to an early grave and going “look success”

So, so brave and principled she tried to get out of the final vote on her flagship policy to go for a photoshoot.
I think her days are numbered.

I seriously think she reckons there's more mileage in being the poster girl of the far right than being a minister and actually having to do things. Look at Fargle, or Johnson.

The main takeaway here is that she is as thick as rhino shit.
That alone renders her unfit for office. Any office.

My worry is she challenges Sunak and wins she is dangerous.
