Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

@sturdyalex.bsky.social Hi Alex today’s episode with @pimlicat.bsky.social was excellent. Analytical,thoughtful,informative. I was particularly grateful for yr clarity when talking generally after discussing Maccabi TA fans.There’s too little of this rational distinction drawing sadly.

@ledbydonkeys.org Any time for some publicity in Caerphilly?
Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.
Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.
We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..

The long delay of UK police baffles professor @shekhovtsov.substack.com
Gill is all over his 2021 report into this pan-European Kremlin spy ring.
The Polish authorities charged his main target, Janusz Niedzwiecki, with espionage that same year.
So what took UK police so long?

Meet the team.
Voloshyn - the man who bribed Nathan Gill - with his wife, Nadia Sass.
In part 2 of @thenerve.news’s investigation, we reveal their tag team approach.
But the UK police knew all this since at least 2022, the same year they fled to Belarus.
So what gives??

What Labour should be doing is creating a new narrative about immigration - about welcoming people who make a contribution but reducing the numbers who don't.
Pretending to be super tough pisses off liberals and won't be believed by Reform voters.
