We are in almost exactly same place we were then. The same rhetoric, the same arguments, the same ideas - up to and including racist deportation programmes. Rivers of Blood is not some dark blood-dimmer artefact of a previous time. It is the template anti-immigrant politicians are using today.

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns. They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings. That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped ~80,000 tons of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 8 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey. (Mohamad Safa)

Starmer doesn't seem to realise that, if you consistently accept the way your opponents frame a question, you'll find it hard to reject the answers that they give. If you keep telling voters that Farage is right in his analysis, it will be hard to persuade them that he's wrong in his prescriptions.

Migrants are not the reason our country doesn't work. Whilst they're busy trying to get by - it's government austerity over decades causing the division that Starmer is fueling - rather than investing in our country. Let's turn our country around.

3) Ultimately, migration shouldn’t be managed by the same government department as crime and domestic security. It should be its own department - with a focus on community cohesion, infrastructure, and the country’s real economic needs.
