Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

No, no - Sarah Pochin absolutely was racist and the data she’s relying on to justify said racism doesn’t say what she says it does.
This tells me that she either doesn’t understand the data, or she’s twisting it to suit her own agenda.
Either is very possible.

When you say that flags on roundabouts isn't about racism, that may well be the case for you. But these are the people you're throwing in with...
Every argument about immigration has racism at its core. Peel back even one layer, it's always underpinned by racism and white supremacy.

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse.
A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

British Steel employs 3.6k people. Coventry Uni group, which auditors say may not survive, employs 7.7k. But there is an emergency debate in parliament for British Steel and nothing for the whole HE sector imploding
Why is the government and the news so indifferent to the meltdown happening in UK #HigherEd right now?
Our universities are the envy of the world. Yet we are at risk of losing a generation of academics and damaging the sector beyond repair.

In my view, the main reason we’re living in an age of ‘over diagnosis’ of mental health issues, is because we have chosen to ‘under invest’ in community development and well-being.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
