🚨 The Government wants to crash the economy. On the very same day the Prime Minister finally distanced himself from Reform UK’s policies, his own Home Secretary announced proposals that would create a two-tier society.

Genuine reflection from Labour conference. The leadership is massively out of step with its own members and civil society. It’s giving pigheaded. The mood was low,few people impressed or confident in the current vision. The May elections will punish Starmerism and we’ll all be worse off for it.

Leaving labour conference and felt like I’d lost something. Realised it’s my will to live.

think this is basically correct on Labour's various immigration stances

Convince me that this is any different from what Reform proposed on Monday. Okay so they’re not going to deport people but this will make it impossible for millions of people to ever become citizens of this country.

Getting mighty tired of the meme on here of “oh, it is just so difficult for the government to set the agenda”. The government (which literally employs thousands of press officers) is setting the agenda - it’s just that it is setting it on toxic ground it can’t win.

The voluntary and community sector doesn’t need or want migrants to do forced labour for us in a form of state exploitation. We do need the govt. to stop targeting the groups we serve and fund us to do the jobs the state relies on us for. And to like end poverty and the economic crisis.

It’s extra extremely disingenuous to try and defend the digital ID cards when they literal government has brazenly introduced them as a racist policy

Got off the train in Birmingham. Saw a huge queue of people, waiting full of excitement. It was for Alison Hammond. Brummies are nothing but on brand.

Bless those who think the Home Office can successfully carry out a huge IT procurement exercise for digital ID cards for implementation before the next general election.

📢Watch @josephinewy.bsky.social our Head of Advocacy talking on @news.sky.com about why digital ID is a distraction from the real everyday issues people are facing in this country.

Let’s also set up infrastructure that a far-right populist party might abuse should they win an election.

Sure, let’s collate every member of the public’s personal and private information into one giant database right before handing whole swathes of the state over to multinational corporations using an emergent technology with numerous security issues

Bridget Phillipson's wiki says that she "grew up in a bungalow with no upstairs heating". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget...

The Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza was targeted with explosives, chemical agents and communications jamming off the coast of Greece, a violation of international law. The international community, including our government, must stand up to Israel and protect those on board.

Glad to have got this over the line How Tony Blair is lobbying on behalf of Big Tech His Institute (TBI) is pushing AI solutionism on Starmer’s govt, which is embracing it w open arms, as TBI donor & tech billionaire Larry Ellison is set to reap the benefits www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Tatted up gym bro talking about social justice. In the US they call this the Broletariat. Campaign for the UK to uptake this strategy.

Btw Reform have clocked this. Hence why Farage is attached at the hip to that hot woman with 7 kids. It is precisely to counter his own face and appeal to a new audience.

That Lib Dem councillor is the epitome of needing hot people to talk about politics. I’ve seen no coverage of their conference apart from his reels which have 1000s of people behaving feral in his comments. Hot people can convert the masses.

Farage’s plans to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain would ruin lives and tear families apart. Rather than dismissing Reform’s xenophobic proposals as 'unrealistic' or 'unaffordable', our government should be clear that they are cruel and unjust. We must stand up for migrants' rights.

Nationalise punching bags. I need one in my house.

“It’s time to change the narrative. Tommy Robinson does not represent the majority of Britons. We aren’t afraid. We’re angry. And we won’t be defeated.” The power we need coming from @sangitamyska.bsky.social here www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

The right to provide vital public services is being stifled by the far-right and by cowardly politicians. We are providing services for all kinds of people and a threat to us is a threat to everyone doing similar work. We will keep going because we believe in the right to care for each other.

Intriguing. So the Lib Dems believe it’s not good for people to be left to rot in hotels indefinitely (correct), but their solution is nightingale processing centres (yes, following that oh so successful pandemic model)? And this is now dressed up in crisis rhetoric.

Also: bear in mind that this is what’s being served up almost a full four years before the next General Election. At this rate, any 2029 manifesto offerings milder than indentured labour for anyone whose family arrived after 1066 would be a pleasant surprise

The thing is like, you can make all sorts of arguments as to why this is, the contributing factors, this or that story that got them there, but the bottom line is that for a governing party one year into their term, this is both inexcusable and indefensible.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

Farage's proposal here would crash the economy. An economy already struggling as a result of Brexit. Not only are the numbers false but it takes rights away from migrants who have lived and worked in the UK for years. Many who have British partners and children born in the UK.

The deportation of an Eritrean man under 'one-in, on-out' has been halted by a judge after an NRM decision indicating reasonable suspicion he'd been trafficked. Charity Medical Justice say vast majority detained under scheme are torture and trafficking survivors www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

No words.

Emosh alert but I am so incredibly proud of my beautiful best friend @zoejardiniere.bsky.social. The @ukstoptrump.bsky.social march today is so important and she’s given it her all. As well as putting herself out there EVERY DAY to stand up for marginalised people. We love you Zoe ❤️

My new t-shirt that I bought from @praxisprojects.bsky.social

The guidance is clearly unworkable as there is no way that any organisation can ensure spaces are only accessible on the basis of sex assigned at birth without engaging in activities which, irrespective of the Supreme Court Decision in For Women Scotland, remain unlawful.

You could also buy Praxis merch so that you look hot, stand up for migrant rights, and keep us in business: praxis-store.org.uk

Feeling Pretty Horrific About Things. The best way to reduce this is to keep me in a constant supply of choc OR donate to @praxisprojects.bsky.social so that we can continue to get our clients out of destitution, off the streets and permanently settled in the UK. They belong, the far-right don't.

My interview with @billybragg.bsky.social on England, patriotism and the far-right is now up at @bylinetimes.bsky.social for subscribers (and on doorsteps/news-stands shortly) Interesting chat if I may say so! subscribe.bylinetimes.com/edition/78/b...

Fair play to Ed Davey for this. Absolutely correct.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

When we remember we beat fascism before, we must also remember that we kinda let fascism happen before we actually beat it. I'm not a historian but I think that the one lesson of history might be not to have to beat it in the first place.

Sorry just remembered in all the chaos that Keir Starmer said he would "never surrender to flags" instead of "never surrender to fascism".

Kruger has a majority of circa 5k, reform got 7k votes in his constituency. The maths is mathsing.

It feels like a lot of people I know have discovered via social media that a person they Actually Know supported some aspect of the fascist march. And yet people still don’t seem to think Reform are likely to win the next election.

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin. Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation. We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

So the far-right scrape together tens of thousands of people and they get a live blog on most news services, more than 100,000 people turn up for Trans Pride in London and it is barely even registered. The media aren't just reporting a reality, they are constructing it.

Very glad to see my words in The Guardian today! Much less glad about the political developments that led to this piece. I was hoping we’d have a bit more time before the world of Who Wants to Live Forever becomes reality…😱 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ah yes if black and brown people throw a party we need to scan their faces. White supremacists organising a hate march do not need to worry about their privacy. The police have them covered. This btw is also why everyone arguing for digital id in this country is either naive or dangerous.

WwwwwWooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
