This is hilarious. It’s like she keeps expecting a rapturous round of applause but it doesn’t come so she just keeps talking until it makes no sense and she has to finally stop.

Following her use of “invasion”, Suella Braverman extends the immigration is natural disaster metaphor to a “hurricane of immigration”. Such metaphors play a central role in the stoking of fear, hate and prejudice appealing to a far-right populist discourse.

Braverman’s ‘hurricane of migration’ speech sounds deliberately framed to update the metaphor of Enoch Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’: keep the apocalyptic tone but shift from biblical echoes to our current climate crisis. It’s clever, it’s deliberate; it’s disgraceful and appalling.

Interpreters contribution to asylum process 'underestimated' by UK authorities

INTERPRETERS working in the UK asylum system are dealing with a “chaotic” set-up which underestimates how crucial translators are to the process, a researcher has said.
