A bunch of teenagers in my city, who aren’t old enough to vote, when door-to-door in their neighborhood asking their neighbors to vote for their future. Something is happening here, and I like it.

Raise your hand if you've had the "rude" label applied to you while defending your marginalized identity against an abusive person 🙋🏻♀️
The "rude" label should not exist. It is *subjective* and easily weaponized by bigots and bad actors. Suspension based on rude labels is going to CAUSE HARM.

The only way to stop people taking dangerous journeys is to let them take safe ones.
Most people fleeing for their lives have no safe way to claim asylum in the UK - that’s why people escaping war and persecution are arriving by small boat.
