Already on their 2nd home secretary, the Labour govt is maintaining the toxic rhetoric and cruel policies of its predecessor This new report, Time for Change by prominent migration expert @zoejardiniere.bsky.social proves there is another better way @suewilson91.bsky.social @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

The state that created 300,000 war-related injuries, some resulting in permanent physical disabilities such as amputations, hearing loss, and vision impairment back in the Paralympics is it

Reform have said they are going to get rid of the Equalities Act and the Human Rights Act. Obviously every single charity working with humans, every union, and every employer should object to such proposals.

😬Not the best look for Reform’s Gorton & Denton candidate Matt Goodwin White supremacist far right activist says “you've appeared on our podcasts, had dinner with us, had us write for your Substack, and sought our advice on how to write your social media posts” Tad awkward😬

Funny kind of "Labour" party, if you ask me.

Tied Labour visas inevitably lead to exploitation because exploited workers cannot escape bad employers without losing their visa rights. It’s a Brexshit “benefit” in contrast to the freedom of movement & employment from which workers coming from other EU states benefited.

NEW from @tbij.bsky.social: The government has rejected calls by its OWN independent Migration Advisory Committee for visa reforms to protect migrant farm workers from exploitation Labour seems wedded to a model of immigration based on creating a subclass of exploited worker. It's sick.

You can’t defeat the far right by giving them what they claim to want, bc that isn’t what they really want. What they really want- as they occasionally make clear- is racial purity. That’s why measures aimed at reducing migration are not only cruel & self-harming but pointless on their own terms

NEW RESEARCH: UK gov’s plans to punish migrants who receive public funds will force parents to choose: accept basic support so their children can eat and stay warm, OR give up support to avoid being punished with an extra 10yrs stuck in temporary immigration status. www.ramfel.org.uk/earned-settl...

Happy Valentines! Here’s the sexiest reason not to vote for Reform UK 😜 youtube.com/shorts/10BXa...

3/ Division tears us apart, so c'mon Keir give us a positive vision for our shared future. Recognise how vital immigration has been and is to the UK's shared story and ensure that people who make the UK their home feel part of our society.

2/ If Starmer wants to protect the vibrant multi cultural fabric of the UK, he must scrap his divisive "earned settlement model". These plans will mean some people will have second class rights throughout their adulthood, preventing many from flourishing & reaching their potential.

1/ We're pleased the Prime Minister has called out Jim Ratcliffe's disgusting, racist & dehumanising language. However, these words ring somewhat hollow when his government is imposing cruel, self-defeating immigration rules that damage social cohesion. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

👀

I lost count of just how many people Zoe took down in this one single video.

The Government must stop listening to dodgy advice! Hear the trade unions, the care workers, the migrant support organisations - LISTEN TO YOUR BASE. The immigration plans must be scrapped. @zoejardiniere.bsky.social @unison.org.uk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Zoe cramming more truth into 3 mins than most of the coverage on immigration in the media for the last 3 days in this video.

Zoe is ON FIRE here 🔥 Remember that “immigration” is the button politicians push when they want to distract you from real issues

Oh look! We’re talking about immigration again! Instead of corruption money & pedos permeating our politics! 🤩 Brilliant! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZk...

Worse than the tories. #StarmerOut

abolish the home office 🤝 nationalise ineos without compensation

The "feels" word is very important here. Reality doesn't matter. Only the fash's feelings matter. Reality is defined by the Vibes perceived by brain-rotted boomers

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

The number of people who think this is "sensible" politics and don't understand why it's a massive uncrossable red line for millions of Labour's supposed core constituency continues to blow my mind. All the minor percentage shifts in NHS waiting lists will never make up for this nativist cruelty.

This is absolutely hilarious from #PMQs today. Ayoub Khan MP says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him "It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children. Recognised refugees. Denied the right to reunite with their children. It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied. So yes, he’s hated.

What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow. Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal? Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.

A vote for Plaid Cymru in May is a vote for hope and new leadership that will always stand up for #Wales ✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

"Creating a poorer, more vulnerable migrant class of workers who have no long-term stake in our society worsens wages & conditions for everyone & increases resentment towards immigrants." This. This. This. @zoejardiniere.bsky.social is spot-on on why Government's hostile migration plans hurt us all.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

“It is our duty to become the welcoming and tolerant society that our own relatives would have hoped to find on the other side of our borders”

Spain has effectively made the argument that their economy NEEDS migration. They don’t have the hostile environment which every govt. has kept despite Windrush promises. This could be us if we weren’t cooked.

* "It is our duty to become the welcoming and tolerant society that our own relatives would have hoped to find on the other side of our borders." * "The West needs people" * Challenges driven by same forces (poverty, inequality, etc) faced by existing citizens.

Why Spain is breaking the mold in Europe - choosing regularisation instead of MAGA mass deportations!! Two reasons: morality & pragmatism. 🙏Spain showing us another, better way is possible www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

How is it any surprise that “even Tories” thought Mandelson was a good appointment? There’s no difference between their supine “suck up to Trump at the expense of any moral red lines” policy & that of the government. #r4today

How many times lately have we had to put up with a despised lame duck PM who only “runs” the country on borrowed time until their party organise themselves to get the next idiot lined up? Johnson Truss Sunak Now Starmer too #r4today

Yesterday, Mahmood justified the Earned Settlement proposal as an 'answer' the public demand to the many people who came after the pandemic. This government has caved in to a conspiracy theory insulting and harming millions. It will ruin lives and make us all worse off.

Labour’s toxic immigration policies damage the social fabric of our nation, causing division and endanger us all. We are stronger together as a thriving inclusive society. This is good by @zoejardiniere.bsky.social

📢"Creating a poorer, more vulnerable migrant class of workers who have no long-term stake in our society worsens wages and conditions for everyone, and increases resentment towards migrants." @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on what Labour can do to change direction. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

If Starmer & McSweeney finally go over the revelations in the Mandelson files Their toxic immigration plans must go with them. NO MORE politicians in the pockets of the seedy rich blaming the outcomes of their greed & corruption on immigrants!

“It is absurd that asylum seekers are banned from working. There are many who spend long periods in the asylum backlog, or have difficulty proving their claim… such people should be allowed to enter the labour market. This would mean their skills could be recognised under the points-based system…”

These lies are constantly repeated. "It's the pull factors", "Our generous benefits", "Our 5 star hotels". All bullshit. As with taxes, welfare for the general population & much else besides, our media refuses to show the full picture compared to similar nations. We're worse on most measures.

#RedReform 🤮

I know the govt is in meltdown again… but meanwhile I wrote about how their immigration policies create a subclass of migrant workers exposed to abuse in an increasingly “Dubai-style” rightless immigration model & I explain what to do about it

Do we have to call it that

While I wouldnt put it past them, I guess it is quite hard to ask a person who speaks perfect English and has escaped persecution, why they don't seek safety in a non-English speaking country without feeling like a complete dick.

🧵1/3 In this month's Bremainers Ask feature, three expert & former contributors shared with us their hopes & fears for 2026 Their excellent analysis & insights can be read here www.bremaininspain.com/bremainers-a... Huge thanks to the amazing immigration & asylum expert @zoejardiniere.bsky.social

Asylum seeker interviewed on #r4today explains in excellent English that he has grown up his entire life believing that the UK is a safe place that respects & protects people. He's even an Arsenal fan. He knows our culture. Not French culture, Greek, or Bulgarian culture. Ours.

There's an interesting question why UK asylum apps are still rising a bit, while they've been dropping throughout EU for quite a while. The one thing absolutely clear is the big chat & cruel policy does nothing, & never has. Flows are impacted by much bigger things than Mahmood.

In any other context, requiring a high-productivity sector to offshore the production of its highest value-added exports would be seen as the economic illiteracy it so obviously is... www.ft.com/content/a23c...
