Immigrants & asylum seekers are not our enemies. They are not responsible for the austerity, privatisation, erosion of civic life, thinning of democracy and concentration of power we suffer. But they're being punished for these things. Punished at the behest of the very people who *are* responsible.

If a newspaper (okay, I only read the @theguardian.com) publishes an article solely based upon a report published by another organisation, is there a reason they don't systematically link to that report? Like surely this would help everyone involved?

My mum had the experience of working for the NHS (as a speech and language therapist) then the service being privatised and the values of the organisation falling away into a laminated marketing pitch. Universities have always been compromised but watching them go through this convulsion

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

I want some of these people who are suddenly questioning failures of the wider culture to have a public moment like where a hapless faithful, on entering the final throws of the Traitors, asks 'Why am I here!?' Of course this won't be Streeting. He's conducting some traitor on traitor action here.

The Labour Party might be more successful in finding a successor to Starmer who is not tainted by association with Mandelson if only there hadn't been a deliberate effort, led by Mandelson and his mentees, to sideline or expell everyone who didn't fall in line with his faction.l

An abhorrent policy which inevitably leads to people seeking asylum being denied necessary medical support. People seeking asylum don't receive enough financial support to pay for taxis, or often public transport, themselves, but still need to travel to appointments 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you think that Labour will lose the Denton and Gorton seat to Reform and it will be the fault of the GREENS you are actually nuts. Labour has stacked it on every piece of comms, they've fought publicly and stupidly, they've u-turned and are Reform's messenger on immigration.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Keir Starmer could not be more detached from reality referring to the period when the Tories left the EU as an "open borders experiment." People have always come to the UK to work, study, and be with family. They pay taxes, exorbitant visa fees, tuition costs, and the NHS surcharge. (1/2)
