Labour people on here complain that nobody knows about all the good things they're doing, blaming the media, but a big part of it is that they, themselves, are standing on the streets with a big megaphone saying how much they hate migrants and foreigners.
Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

I see the "God is Love" street preachers who plague Belfast city centre have covered themselves in glory again with Colin Houston trying to start a physical fight and threatening to kill someone for countering them.
This all caught on camera by @bbbfire.bsky.social who stood his ground regardless.

One of the controversies in my family at the moment is my one cousin who is a state trooper in MN and has been horrifying/embarrassing his brothers + extended family by actively supporting DHS' actions across the state. It's not just ICE.

Reform's calculation is why _not_ lie, when a largely complicit media propagandizes on their behalf, when the rewards for lying in public office are enormous, and when the penalties are essentially nonexistent.
NEW: Reform UK’s flagship council, Kent, has been accused of telling a “blatant lie” after its claim of nearly £40m in savings on net zero were found to be based on hypothetical projects for which there was no documentation.
