A heroic Afghan pilot who helped Britain in its war against the Taliban is one of thousands of new refugees facing homelessness after the Home Office changed its rules on evictions, The Independent can reveal. The air force lieutenant, who fought alongside coalition troops and was described as a "true patriot", is facing imminent eviction from his Home Office hotel. He is also fighting to be reunited with his wife and child who are still in hiding from the Taliban in Afghanistan. His plight comes as new data shared with The Independent shows that more than 13,000 refugees with recently granted asylum status have gone to councils for emergency help in 2023 so far. |

As a fashion editor who loves beautiful things and appreciates great design and who, until recently, always wanted that next thing, I know we are getting our fashion consumption all wrong. But could I find a fun new way of approaching it that could work for us all? No, not at first. In the face of rampant consumerism, a warming planet, and the arguments about the pace of phasing out of fossil fuels at Cop28, imagine a new world order where everyone limits their clothing purchases to five fabulous items per year.

So the geniuses in government are spending probably more than £500 million to deport 200 people to fill up the Rwandan 'immigrant camp'.
Which means it should be perfectly safe for future small boat passengers to cross the Channel and to stay in the UK, because there's no more room left in Rwanda. Well done, world beating brilliance. |

Does the Rwanda scheme, if successful, bring net immigration significantly down? No, of course not. So why are you stuffing ever more gold into that dead cat's corpse, pretending that it does? And the dead cat still isn't moving a paw. |
