I see the usual nasty, low grade Tory MPs… like Esther (pay for my personal photographer, would you?) McVey… are trying to whip up prejudice and division by accusing Labour of sending millions to “foreign farmers”.
Because it doesn’t suit her ugly agenda to take credit for this Tory initiative.

Alt text prompt Qs:
What would someone who can't see the image need to know about it in order to take part in the conversation? What is it about this image that made you choose it? What are the important details someone who could see the image would take away from it?

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

The Twitter/X thing is like when you meet someone and they say something like "Everyone calls me The Serpent." And no one ever has or ever will call them that.
