If you want to continue to queue at EU airports, just go in the 'all passports' queue, nothing stopping you.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

Another week. Another ‘crackdown’ on immigration. Because Brexit exploded it. It created labour shortages and ended our shared EU arrangements. Then all the far right uglies went to town whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment for power. Until govts are honest about this, they will continue to fail.

Absolutely this. The Green Party & Lib Dems have had hardly any media coverage on their gains from the local elections, just like always in fact. The media obsession with Reform is aiding their rise. Yes, people are crying out for change, but just one option is being rammed down our throats!

Immigration is not the problem it’s now widely believed to be. Brexit is much more of a problem than it’s reported to be. So how can govt achieve growth, fix public svcs and deal with the cost of living if fear of Reform means it won’t be honest with us about these 2 elephants in the room? It can’t.

Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right. Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist. Really I wonder how they sleep at night.

This remains imho the wrong strategy. Reform voters will always push for more. And Farage is justified when he keeps putting immigration at the centre of his campaign. Labour needs to attack Farage where he is weak, instead of following his narratives.

Renaming Veteran’s Day and the planned “Trump Military Parade” is a playbook straight out of North Korea. Draft-dodging Trump is now flexing the might of the US Military, but its not for our enemies to fear. It’s for you. The administration wants you to fear their Dear Leader.

UK Tory Govt spent £22,000 on failed attempt to stop Windrush report release. Add to this cost of Home Office staff and lawyers. Report identified racist ideologies behind design of the laws and enforcement. Can't build good a society without confronting its negatives and past.

Would seem extremely unwise to make a trade deal with a man who puts tariffs on an island inhabited only by penguins, no tariffs on Russia and ruinously high tariffs on some of the poorest countries in the world. Trump is a wildly mad and vindictive autocrat. Trying to please him is treacherous.

There was absolutely no mandate given for public spending cuts. None. And if you’d directly asked the question… “protect Brexit or end austerity?”… end austerity would have won by a landslide. Well it did, didn’t it? Labour needs to stop punishing us for govt failure and change the bloody record.
