Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

This article is a tough, tough read if you are a Labour supporter... But unless your plan for the next 4 years is to live in a little bubble of self-delusion then watch the party you support disappear into oblivion, you need to. Bitter medicine, but necessary. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This feels terminal. The breaches of trust have been so frequent, so vast and so decisive that the voters Labour has already lost are unlikely to return. In one forum after another, I hear the same sentiments: “I voted for change, not the same or worse.” “I’ve voted Labour all my life, but that’s it for me.” “I feel I’ve been had.”

It’s not dissatisfaction. It’s not disillusionment. It’s revulsion: visceral fury, anger on a level I’ve seldom seen before, even towards Tory cruelties. Why? Because these are Tory cruelties, delivered by a party that claimed to be the only alternative, in our first-past-the-post electoral system.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

So, have you told the truth about Brexit, immigration, social care, ‘levelling up’, tax, NetZero… about 14yrs abusing power? No. You spend your life on a disinformation hellsite and you don’t call out “the lies and delusions that dominate Westminster” because your party is neck-deep in all of them.
Kemi Badenoch post on Twitter

I ran for the leadership with a simple promise: to tell the truth.
To call out the lies & delusions that dominate Westminster.
@afneil is right — even I'm shocked by just how far Starmer will go to try to fool the public.

“In 55 years of covering politics, I've never accused any UK Government of routinely telling untruths. But Starmer & Co have taken lying and gaslighting to a deplorable level”

What an incredible thing to write, given the Boris Johnson gov't. Neil's only useful function nowadays is as a corrective to the notion of "BBC impartiality". He was just very adept at injecting his right-wing politics into the framing of issues, while pretending to be "equally tough on anyone".
