Alf Dubs, a Labour party member for more than 50 years, accused Starmer’s government of using asylum like a “political football” while courting voters on the right of the Conservative party and of Reform.

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

And if you or I had spent three weeks generating hundreds of thousands of non-consensual nudes and child sexual abuse images, while bragging about, and profiting from, so doing, do you think the govt would keep changing the subject to whether or not children can see those images?

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

If only there had been people ten years ago who said mainstream politicians and press were unifying around overtly racist, increasingly National Front politics, while terrifying the public with largely fraudulent concerns about Palestinian Solidarity as a way of suppressing and excluding the left 🤷🏼♂️

It is very late to get off the bus supporting this war effort, but it is not too late. Have a think; are you really going to be the last person you know making excuses, as the situation gets worse and worse? If not, why not get ahead of the curve and stop now?
