"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them." Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
theguardian.com
Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan
The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

How long are we going to hear about “legitimate debates and concerns about immigration?” It’s time we told the truth and deal with it. Net migration is low, we need more migrants, we are an ageing population. Highly skilled and low paid jobs are dependent on migrants. We need safe and legal routes.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying
Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record. @independentsage.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

This is clearly genuine, and I have to imagine that Ireland's own history with a preventable famine explains why Israel's genocide resonates so much. What Palestinians are going through today is not that different from what the Irish did, only this time it's being live-streamed.

I made it through #r4today this morning without rage quitting, assisted by torrential rain delaying my morning run. I was rewarded by an interview with Horatio Clare. A lovely example of patriotism in the sense of being proud of the good things the UK does. www.littletoller.co.uk/shop/books/l...

While Robert Jenrick MP spends his days wandering about the underground tackling fare dodgers and going on about the capital for clicks... his constituency has a genuine problem. ● Newark crime rate: 123 crimes per 1,000 ● London 105.8 per 1,000 But you know... "Sadiq"

Labour going hard on immigration = 1. Damaging the economy 2. Pushing pissed off left-leaning voters to the Greens, Plaid, the SNP and the LibDems 3. Offering nowhere near enough for Reform-leaning voters All in all, politically and economically illiterate.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

Brexit was pushed through by lies. The Sun lied about benefits tourism. Later, it printed this pathetically small apology. The government should force all news media to print apologies for falsehoods in a form that makes them as visible to the public as the original lie.

So, Tories finally admit they left the EU with no plan “for growth”. They also had no plan for trade, science, the arts, business, jobs, training, education, travel, farming, fishing, borders, immigration, healthcare, regulations, food security… for ANYTHING… A catastrophe of prejudiced uselessness.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent. What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss? ‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.
