They may U turn, but in fertilising this, they are showing who they are and they can’t undo that. Ugly people. Some policies I disagree with strongly…but some are emotionally repellent, offends our souls, and that is what will sink them just as the Covid parties are what really sunk Johnson.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one. It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution. This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

We should stop the boats because it's dangerous, and we should stop the scapegoating of immigrants because it's wrong and cruel. Controlled migration is good for the country, helps build our economy and diversity strengthens our communities. (1/6) 🧵

The government won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite and please remember this - the ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.” If they support them they will too.

I am absolutely disgusted by this incarnation of Labour. I never would have expected this level of performative cruelty from a party that is supposed to care

Yup

Here’s my tuppence on Thatcher, written when she died. A few words from one of Thatcher’s children. paulbernal.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/a...

Dealing with dangers like this is why it’s completely clear that police need far harsher powers to deal with protest.

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla. We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices. This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

The police seem inexperienced with how to arrest a dangerous terrorist in a wheelchair. Well done Yvette Cooper. Slow hand clap. 👏

If scrapping indefinite leave to remain (ILR) entirely, as Reform would do, is racist, according to Labour, what is making ILR twice as difficult, expensive & humiliating to obtain, as Labour are doing?

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

A big congratulations to the American fans at the Ryder Cup! Just as more and more foreign tourists were voicing their concerns about travelling to the US because it was becoming more unwelcoming, more unfriendly, and even downright nasty to foreigners, you have gone and proved them right.

Team Europe trolling Trump after winning The Ryder Cup 🤣💀

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways. Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I’m not It isn’t. It should be, but you’re working very hard to ensure it isn’t.

There's no excuse of ignorance any more. Every single person on that fascist march knew who Tommy Robinson was and every single one of them knew why they were there. This isn't Brexit. People weren't conned. They willingly went out to join in, led by a five times jailed thug. Stop making excuses.

Starmer and the Labour government need to start treating the rise of the far right as a problem to be addressed rather than a movement to be accommodated.

Our government is complicit. Our mainstream media, BBC included, is complicit.

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created - Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy. It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.

@latitudefestival.bsky.social so far sat in 6hrs traffic jam to get into Latitude???

When someone asks what parenting be like… 😂🤣 🐵 🥰

🔥 Well said these MPs. This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza. Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

KNEECAP STATEMENT

Enraging to have grown up around working class black people who came to the UK and broke themselves for it only to be told that their host nation still has “legitimate concerns” about them being there.

Immigration is a beautiful thing and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️

And politically stupid, too. Alienates core vote (& they do have places to go) in pursuit of votes he'll rarely get, & demolishes his core policy agenda of growth, making his re-election more unlikely. Even those (inc. me) willing to cut him a lot of slack feel betrayed. A truly awful day for UK.

Me waiting for a Labour policy that isn’t a homage to the Tories or Reform.

Simply this.

The difference between Gaza and Ukraine is not the war crimes committed against hundreds of thousands by Israel and Russia, but we condemn and sanction Putin, but appease and support Netanyahu

Criminal, narcissistic grandstanding arseholes will do that. Nate White summed Trump up perfectly…

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman. Racism...the downfall of America.

Exactly This! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 👇🏾👇🏼👇🏽👇🏿

Every American with a soul feels this way or worse. I know I do.

Trump & Vance are disgusting PIGS rambling on about how Zelensky didn't thank them and how bad that is... THIS was a publicity stunt for King Trump to show Putin that he's a STRONGMAN -and on Putin's side. This was a planned public flogging of Zelensky. Pathetic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
