I’m standing against Farage’s politics. Join the Never Nigel movement and help show that Reform UK isn’t the answer: hopenothate.org.uk/are-you-a-never-nigel/ @hopenothate.org.uk

Starmer walked straight into this one.

Not sure how am going to teach on rights and citizenship and immigration and refugee policies tomorrow. UK government just dropped policy that is way outside the parameters of the global surveys we read. What has happened here? I literally do not know.

EU Parliamentary Democracy Forum on Wednesday, 19 November The first EU Parliamentary Democracy Forum will examine contemporary threats to democratic governance and explore best practices to increase resilience. Details ⬇️ www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/pres...

Great to welcome Finland’s President Alex Stubb to @europarl.europa.eu 🇪🇺🇫🇮 Your leadership matters as Europe stands strong against Russia’s aggression in Ukraine & ongoing hybrid threats to Europe. We will keep pushing for a bolder Europe that speaks with one clear voice on the global stage.

30 years after 🇦🇹🇫🇮🇸🇪 joined the 🇪🇺, they have not only enriched our Union but have also helped shape Europe into what it is today: stronger and united.

Labour can fuck off! #GoGreen

No, it's scumbag politicians and right wing grifters weaponising immigration who are tearing the country apart and she's just given them all a glorious victory.

There's a bill to ban hunting foxes with packs of dogs coming before the dail on Dec 17th. Fuck 'rural pursuits' sign and share and contact your FF, FG, and SF TDs and tell them to support the ban my.uplift.ie/petitions/pe...

Yes, the #GreenParty will get my vote.

The Labour Party has become the right-wing party Morgan McSweeney dreamed of. Its immigration policy has been lauded by Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage. Like the Nazis, they are proposing to strip vulnerable and dehumanised people of their assets. When you think they can't sink any lower, they do.

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Fed up with Farage? Me too. I’ve signed the Never Nigel Pledge. Add your name today, and help show that division and hate have no place in our communities. secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/170649/... @hopenothate.org.uk

I think that Labour MPs must make a stand and call for a leadership election to oust Starmer and his far right cronies from the Labour Party. And we must go to the streets to protest this.

100% Talk is cheap ……. !

No excuses FF/FG 🇮🇪

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world" That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

Macron: “Ukraine belongs to the European family, not only geographically but also through its values, history, and courage. “The path towards the European Union will be demanding and will require deep reforms in transparency, governance, combating corruption, and the rule of law.”

After a year of sucking up, the PM can’t even get Donald Trump on the phone as he tries to destroy one of our most important institutions, the BBC. Was the state visit really worth this?

An excellent follow 🔽

As I wrote about last week, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood’s new immigration plans are dividing Labour. “Performatively cruel,” Stella Creasy says.

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

Stella Creasy MP writes that the asylum proposals of the Labour government are "performatively cruel" and likely to be ineffective in securing control or going after the smuggling gangs www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If this government wants to avoid being compared to Nazis then they ought to stop doing explicitly Nazi shit, but maybe I'm biased

@wigancouncil.bsky.social this is a clear breach of the Councillor Code of Conduct. www.wigan.gov.uk/council/cont...

Essential reading 🔽

Five guts?

We absolutely need immigration controls. And where those controls decide to grant asylum, we should welcome and integrate, not create perpetual limbo and alienation. The rhetoric around these reforms encourages the same culture of divisiveness that sees racism and abuse growing in our communities.

🤣

The “Dark forces” stirring up anger are you Ms Mahmood. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Morning all…. Some wonderful comments on this FB post….

It appears that our Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has been inspired by Kirsti Noem - and finds her to have an “under appreciated intellect and eye for detail” and is now following her lead. Isn’t that just utterly horrifying. Of all Starmer’s picks for cabinet, she has to be the worst.

www.politico.eu/article/haun... Can Farage be stopped? Not by Labour, who seem determined to ape his every last move. But Reform can be stopped by showing the country a better way, as @zackpolanski.bsky.social is doing.

My favourite 🤣

Morning all…. Some wonderful comments on this FB post….

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

If you feel like you voted for Labour and got Reform, time to join @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party. Don’t be taken in by the right wing smears, today’s Green Party is passionate, intelligent, and honest. They have consistently impressed me.

Christiane Amanpour, "Antisemitism is a major problem. How do you navigate that?" Zack Polanski, "I think it is a powerful message to have a Jewish leader and a Muslim deputy leader" "Antisemitism and Islamophobia are two sides of the same coin" "And the best response to hatred is solidarity"

"I’ve only read a few articles about what Polanski has said, but he seemed to be speaking a lot of sense to me. Greens have always been a bit fluffy, but Zack’s on to something." The message is bold and clear. #TaxTheRich #EndOligarchy #RebuildPublicServices

British.

What is tearing Britain apart is appointing Reform UK Ltd supporters to cabinet posts in a Labour government and allowing them to implement Reform UK Ltd. policies.

United Kingdom: The UK government is revising human rights laws as part of an overhaul of asylum procedures. Context: The UK has faced significant challenges processing asylum claims. Fact Check by gemma3:4b https://bsky.app/profile/financialtimes.com/post/3m5rrpqqjl22w

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Terrifying. The answer - I believe- is that we have politicians that favour short-termism . They’re only interested in their careers because many of our current politicians believe in nothing. (Obv Zack, Ed Davey and Ed Miliband are exempt from this criticism).
