Tomorrow Nigel Farage is proposing a bill to take the UK out of the ECHR. Not content with messing up our future with Brexit, he’s at it again.
Don’t let him get away with it. Ask your MP to join us in @labour4europe.bsky.social saying not this time Nigel.

If racism has no place in his party, then Nigel Farage should prove it by withdrawing the whip from Sarah Pochin immediately.

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.

Don’t give these people benefit of the doubt. This racist rant isn’t an accident. Or ‘speaking out of turn’.
It’s designed to fill our airwaves with people debating ‘if’ non white skin is a problem. Not Reform.
Diversity isn’t the issue, hatred is. Don’t indulge it, vote for it or tolerate it.

He must withdraw the whip or admit that Reform tolerates blatant racism.

What a whirlwind of a half term- literacy interventions up and running for the most vulnerable, more staff being trained to deliver the fluency and vocabulary intervention, and my EAL team (and the children) thriving. But boy I'm knackered.

Tbh, the whole anti-migrant rhetoric is already making my friends on ILR look at moving.
Of course, they’re all the ones with the money and talent *to* move. Which isn’t what politicians are selling as the consequence of ILR-bashing. But it’s what will happen.

The 10 year wait for Indefinite Leave to Remain will make the UK very unattractive for high skilled workers who often have alternatives. 2019 data (excluding the NHS and universities) shows that high skilled workers on visas are heavily concentrated in multinationals who can move jobs abroad (5/x)

Contrary to Farage, ILR doesn’t = criminal. They ARE net contributors to our economy.
