More coverage of Nigel Farage claiming someone firebombed his empty house last year than of a packed LGBTQ+ club being actually firebombed a few days ago.

When billionaires and their stooges say that their priorities are "anti-woke", "anti-cancel culture" and "unrestricted free speech", don't take their claims at face value. They're a coded way of saying, “I should be allowed to do whatever I want, regardless of the impacts on other people.”

Glad reporting on this is occurring. Farage has been in bed with and bought by billionaires for years. 5 million for his own "security for life" and the billionaires get to set the agenda. Tells you everything you need to know about his priorities. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Horrendous attack in Golders Green. Thinking of the victims, their families and everyone who will once again be shaken by this attack. Thank you to all of those involved with the emergency response.

Everything is so stupid

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The BBC undercover investigation into false immigration claims is deeply irresponsible journalism. It does not highlight that exploitation by unregulated advisors occurs because legal aid was cut and the system is insane to navigate.

Lessons for the Brits exist abroad. We're the last domino in a European wide cycle. We've theoretically got the most advantageous position against authoritarian/fascism. Will we make the most of it?

The Home Office is closing down hotels and moving people seeking asylum to warehouses & ex-military sites. This week they are holding an "industry day" for private companies about the £10 billion contract. This is the asylum scandal we should be talking about. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Shoutout to @jdportes.bsky.social for getting this info as Govt. have been refusing to publish economic impact assessments. That £600m "saving" will end up being spent on managing hate crime/community cohesion and trying to fix an utterly decimated care system. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is absolutely spot on from Emily Thornberry 👏

Really proud to have been part of organising this. Hopefully just the beginning!

Love this from Polanski and really important to see the statement "this must go beyond party politics". A leader who recognises that to beat the Tommy Robinson's of the world and work in coalition, is one that understands the scale of the challenge.

"My heart is broken into pieces....We worked hard to put food on the table, to care for our children, and now you are telling us that we have to wait longer for our Indefinite Leave to Remain." Peggy Read the human impact of the Govt.'s earned settlement plans. www.opendemocracy.net/en/labour-im...

You know what beats violent racism - a different kind of violent racism! Fight fire with fire people, that will put out the flames.

This is alt-right USA pick up, manipulating religion to pursue ethno-nationalism. Muslim leaders are often asked to reject hateful interpretations of their religion, with a bias that suggests they agree with it. It will be interesting to see how the Church/Christian faith leaders respond to this.

The lunatic quality of these proposals is persistently underestimated. They are far, far worse than people recognise.

Utterly the wrong call. Step by step, this embroils us in an immoral, illegal, illogical war.

Eid Mubarak to everyone especially Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch for it pleases me that this is probably their most hated day of the year 🙏🏽🌙💅 and to my fellow Muslims - let’s dominate all the food in sight x

This is exactly what happened with refugees and migrants. There comes a point where public support flips after bonbardment. A shame no one listens when we say if you let the right win on migration, they will win on everything. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Notable that politicians pick up on one word and all immediately start using it when it has clearly just entered their vocabulary. This week "dominance" last month it was "sectarian". Fine whatever it's "message discipline" but it's so transparent and gross.

📢"Being British is about looking after each other, commitment to international conventions, equality before the law & making sure wealth isn’t hoarded at the very top. These are the values the Labour Party was founded on." @minnierahman.bsky.social for @lbc.co.uk www.lbc.co.uk/article/ange...

With all this talk of shifts on earned settlement (and I think the proposal in the screenshot is no solution), I am increasingly concerned about refugees being left out in the cold with the new 20 year route. They must not be left out of these conversations. www.politico.eu/article/keir...

This backlash is well overdue and has been bubbling for a little while. @praxisprojects.bsky.social mass lobby last week, we had such a high turnout of MPs. All agreeing as a baseline that this should not be applied retrospectively to migrants already here, and that MPs should have a proper say.

Amazing that migrant rights, abortion rights, disability rights, trans rights charities across the UK have 0 money coming in and funders giving short-term project based funding, and then there is this. No wonder the far-right are miles ahead of us. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Angela Rayner MP is right here - but these changes are more than just "un-British", they're undemocratic, will crash the economy and will push so many more people into poverty/destitution/homelessness. Let's get rid before the Govt. makes a monumentally stupid choice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not digested full report but the recs from the Home Affairs Committee on the Govts. Earned Settlement Proposals basically say...what a mess, slow down, think about wider impacts before you try to implement a more complicated system you can't administer. publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cm...

IMO the Polanski hit piece is desperate/irresponsible. Our MPs lie to/scam us, trash the economy, work with intl fascists, report journos as spies etc. Polanski did a random hippie thing ages ago. WHO CARES. Hypnotise the entire bloody nation of people to have larger breasts. Least of our concerns.

Still reeling from brilliant @praxisprojects.bsky.social mass lobby yesterday. Final numbers tbc but 80+ MPs met with campaigners from across the country! Brilliant speakers Olivia Blake, Hannah Spencer, @zoejardiniere.bsky.social and RCN. I feel optimistic about what we can achieve.

Excited for @praxisprojects.bsky.social mass lobby in Westminster today! We’ve got over 600 people signed up to say no to the settlement changes. Let’s convince some MPs not to ruin this country 👍🏽

📢“With almost no safe or humanitarian routes available, student visas are often one of the only lawful ways people can reach safety and continue their education.” @minnierahman.bsky.social in @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-accu...

Important to seek clarity today on whether Home Office and No 10 will try to defend - or will now withdraw - a false+misleading claim applying settlement reforms to 2022-24 cohort saves £10bn Not just overspinning lifetime saving in 30 years time Gvt policy doesn't save maybe £8-10 billion of it!

📢"The UK can have a functioning immigration system without abandoning the principle of equal protection under the law." Our CEO @minnierahman.bsky.social in @lbc.co.uk on the Government's ICE-style asylum reforms this week. www.lbc.co.uk/article/labo...

Hi! Immigration lawyer here! Mahmood's view of the Refugee Convention as providing temporary protection just isn’t correct & AFAIK isn’t one anyone has ever adopted. On the contrary, the Convention is clearly predicated on a long-term need for protection. 1/🧵

At Shabana Mahmood’s press conference and journo right behind me asked for Pakistanis to be banned 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

This is the point about Labour introducing retrospective changes to the immigration system. They set the precedent for any Govt. to say that they can go back on promises to migrants and people of colour as far back as they want.

I have written up some context and analysis of the latest Home Office nonsense open.substack.com/pub/thoughts...

Shabana Mahmood is another MP who thinks she's starring in the Hollywood movie role of a lifetime as best villain. When really she is playing out of touch, illogical and stubborn politician who stars in the first 5 mins and quickly becomes irrelevant as the plot moves on.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

Join us! We need more people to say very loudly that the proposed changes are bad for EVERYTHING from integration to the economy. I promise it will be fun :)

“He’s happy for foreign billionaires to buy British democracy, but not for marginalised, maligned, working-class Muslims to choose their local representatives. And that, folks, is Nigel Farage in a nutshell.”

This stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country

Refugees do not choose to come here - by definition, they were forced to flee. Scrapping permanent status will trap refugees in a state of insecurity and fear. This is inhumane cruelty. Doing so says some people deserve fewer rights - and that inequality is law. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

So sorry to learn that thinking about how I might vote is sectarian. Apologies to all. Pls never think about me, a British citizen, again.

Mad that everyone from Stewart to Starmer to Badenoch to Farage is talking about sectarianism when all the Greens did was consider how British Muslims might vote. Is it sectarian to think about faith groups? Do MPs not visit synagogues, gurdwaras and churches? Is Tommy Robinson not sectarian?

Farage, Starmer, Badenoch today sound like big fat baby brats. Crack dens, Galloway, harvesting Muslim bloc, conspiracy voting, sectarianism, extremism. No wonder everyone in G+D was gagging to vote for a person who has a normal job and life. They couldn't look more pathetic and out of touch.

This from @adilray.bsky.social made me cry ❤️

I’m sorry but the lads in the background 😂😂😂

In a battle between hope and hate, hope won out. Why voters rejected the hateful politics of Reform and instead embraced the "Green Menace" in Gorton and Denton bylinetimes.com/2026/02/27/h...

A reflection from the leader of a migration charity. We have been told over and over again by politicians - even from “partners” and “allies” that we will not win on our policies unless we concede. Throw some migrants under the bus - they’re too unfavourable. Public doesn’t agree with us.
