@mrjamesob.bsky.social today you asked why the re-form/store aren't pleased about migration numbers falling. The new narrative is "numbers are fake". That the home office is faking statistics. It's like anti vax with Covid. official figures are made up. Experts are paid by the elites...

Since 2018 we’ve been running free weekly theatre sessions in Tottenham for migrants and people seeking asylum. The group meets every Monday and many participants stay with us for years. We’re trying to keep the sessions free this year.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

Trump’s tariffs and threats mean it’s make your mind up time. If we can’t rely on America and we don’t want to cozy up to China, the answer is to get serious about our strategic future with Europe. NATO needs this too - the reset must be real, and it must happen quickly for all our sakes.
