Compare the energy and communication of the Burnham call yesterday to the same on the Stamer launch of the defence plan today. The difference couldn’t be clearer!

As misleading headlines go, that has to be up there with some of the worst! As is the claim that "Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s." The "shocking new study" does NOT show that at all 🙄 🧵 1/21

Express Headline:

Twenty-seven young foreign workers hired for every one Brit as immigration fuels unemployment crisis.
Immigration is fuelling mass unemployment among under-25s, according to a shocking new study.

Rant (away from politics). Just had bad 4 hours looking for charger for my hand held vac and my small trimmer for grass. I have 12 different chargers not one of them at the same and none of them fit!! How is this possible 😖😠? Happy Saturday. Is it too early for a gin?

We have a curious system in this country whereby working class people can “work hard” and still not afford to feed their family and wealthy people can “work hard” in order to accumulate vast amounts of money and ‘create jobs’ but still not afford to pay tax for fear of…. erm… abject poverty?

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) 🧵

Excellent substack. The way more and more rt wing press use, “writing designed to stoke those feelings, to hit her readers’ mental triggers for fear and anxiety” is disgusting. Everyone who resists this rt wing rhetoric should call it out at every opportunity…before it is too late.

This is so true. Apathy to human suffering and the absence of empathy and compassion are the things that threaten the values I hold. In Gaza certainly but increasingly across the world and it is growing here in UK.

I am at a loss over the hatred of migrants. Friday I was driving a woman who was married to a refugee and has two children with him to a hosp apt. She was celebrating the protests and making the rt wing trope allegations and assertions. Media coverage is driving this. We must do better.

Democracy dies when leaders treat laws like suggestions and power like a throne. Trump’s attacks on courts, press, and elections aren’t politics, they’re authoritarianism. It’s time to #StopTrumpDictatorship and rise up to #SaveDemocracy before the Constitution becomes a memory. #FBPE #FBR

1 in 5 of the UK’s care workforce have a non-British passport. Starmer would have us believe these carers are the “squalid” result of a “failed experiment”. I say they do vital, necessary, humane, skilled work and they are worth their weight in gold.

I worked in and around social care for over 40years. If it were easy to recruit or ‘grow our own’ care workers from the UK there wouldn’t be a permanent and severe shortage of workers. It is a highly skilled but low paid profession, with punishing shifts that people don’t want. That can’t change.

When did politicians get the idea that ‘nothing is off the table’ is a good line? At best it spells weakness, at worst it spells amorality. My question is rhetorical though. We all know the answer is ‘June 2016’. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cp...

I moved to a ‘fixer up’ house last summer. Several months of disruption, then a break for the festive period. Today that disruption starts again 🥺. But I have a roof, I have heat and food, I have friends and reasonable health. I try to help people who don’t. Surely that shouldn’t be unusual. Onwards
