The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

The Faragist, machismo ‘Stop the Boats’ and ‘Smash the Gangs’ approach so far has led to a record-breaking level of fatalities at our border. We’re deeply concerned Labour’s new Bill will lead to yet more loss of life. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/01/l...

Looking great!

Our admiration and support for everyone involved in this campaign. As @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social says, it's a huge win for everyone and a big & important lesson in what people's power can achieve! The people united will never be defeated!✊✊✊

"At no point in history have so few people controlled so much of global communication, while also being so closely aligned with an authoritarian leader. At no point in history have oligarchs become this powerful"
