This has nothing to do with stopping crime. It is to do with a global far-right movement, coordinated on X, organised by some of the most powerful men in the world from Silicon Valley to the White House inews.co.uk/opinion/fara...

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

This is what any sensible politician should be saying in the face of Labour's hostile policies against those seeking safety. Home Secretary, and others in Labour, have flat out lied today, and previously. They've lied about those seeking asylum, migrants in general and those defending their rights.

It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis. It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.

Just listened to @mrjamesob.bsky.social full disclosure, with Laura Bates. I knew things were bad, but I didn't realise quite how bad. The situation is as depressing as it is shocking. It's a fairly grim 60 minutes, but I urge you to make the time. Also, think of ways you can make a difference.

Being trans should be boring. Medication once a week. Live a quiet (or loud) life. Have friends, pets, a family. Go to work, the gym, the library. Do all the little things that make up a life. Cis or trans, it shouldn't be a big deal. There's no reason for it to be.
