He's running in TX and he hasn't said not thoughtful and measured. No-one can ever get everything they want, but, end of day, it's a choice between him and this guy. The reason you have a lunatic in the White House is at least in part because of people letting perfect be the enemy of good.

A few years ago we gave my mum one of those flower arrangement Lego sets and she was delighted - at 87, it was the first time she'd ever been given Lego for her birthday!

Email I just sent to my MP, Peter Kyle.
Dear Peter

As if your support for racist immigration policies wasn't bad enough, I see that as of 9th Jan you are still posting as a Cabinet member, on a website run by a man who has advocated for civil war in our country and which is now fully identified as a vector for the production of child sexual abuse material and deepfake porn.

Have you no ethics left at all?

You're not the man I thought you were and, I suspect, not the man many others in Hove & Portslade who supplied your handsome majority thought you were, either.

Be better.

Yours faithfully

Tim Sewell

I think Ukraine changed that (officially at least) a couple of years ago, didn't they?

If Starmer needs an excuse to fire, this is it. Clearly outrageous but doesn't contradict Trump's desperate efforts to frame the 'birthday book' as a hoax.

Just sent to my MP, Peter Kyle, who used to be a good guy.
Dear Peter

In July 2018, in response to an email I sent you, you replied including this paragraph:

'I also must add that we in Britain do not have a record to be proud of in recent years. The Tory government refused to allow Britain to take its fair share of refugees, and then backtracked on the “Dubs amendment” and refused to allow in unaccompanied children. So it’s with a sense of humility that I condemn the USA – we right across the West have a lot to do.'

Now, in 2025, barely a day goes by without Keir Starmer or Yvette Cooper issuing some new edict or commitment specifically designed to appeal to the racism of the far right. Indeed, following the racist protests around refugee accommodation recently, their response had not a jot of compassion for the no-doubt terrified people inside those places and had them falling over themselves to legitimise the racist thugs involved.

I didn't help to elect a Labour government, or you, personally, to see and hear this gross scapegoating of some of the most desperate people on earth or  this constant, craven pandering to racists.

Sadly, with you now a member of the Cabinet, I hold you equally responsible for these ongoing and egregious betrayals of Labour values. Having spent some time chatting with you in the past, going all the way back to 2011, I find this particularly disappointing.

Barring the unlikely situation of you resigning your Cabinet position and speaking publicly in condemnation of this direction of travel, I won't be voting for you next time round.

Regards

Tim Sewell
