I live in Kent, so have a little sympathy for me…
This is what happens when Reform wins power. They want the prestige but not the work. They are led by the absentee MP for Clacton, famous for not turning up for work in parliament and for his previous job as an MEP, so not really surprising.

When white people react with hostility to sharing space with Black and brown folk, they don’t care if those folk were born here, migrated legally, or are “illegal aliens.” They only see non-white faces who “don’t belong in their space.” This is why “ordinary concern” about migration is basic racism.

This is driving me insane, now. There's no way Labour is winning an election without improving public services and cost of living. If you think further cuts in public services to honour a daft election pledge is going to save either 'trust in politics politics' or Labour you need to get out more.

Posting old halloween comics, #2
![A comic from 2022 I think, Halloween week - here's the script:
The scene is a darkened woods, at night. All is depicted in dingy blues and purples. In a lonely moonlit clearing we see a CABIN. its windows are dark, clearly unoccupied. A lone figure runs towards it, from the trees. Closer in on them now - we see they are terrified. The race for the door of the cabin, desperately trying to enter. They rattle the door, frantically. It is locked. They look behind them. We see the darkened, black trees of the woods. In amongst the forest, we see the black silhouette of a figure. It walks closer. Closer still. Closer - and now we see it is holding a chainsaw. It emerges into the light, slowly the shadow lifts from its face. It is wearing a mask. The victim silently screams in a rictus of horror. This can't be happening, no, no, no. Closer, closer now it lifts the chainsaw high above its head as it speaks:
MURDERER:
This murder is brought to you by MeUndies.
VICTIM:
What?
MURDERER:
If you're like me you'd kill for comfortable underwear -
VICTIM:
Sorry -
VICTIM:
Are you...
doing a *podcast*?
MURDERER:
I knoooww...
It's such a cliché
Everybody's got one these days!
VICTIM:
But I thought you were trying to murder me?
MURDERER:
Indeed! I'm a true crime podcaster driven mad by having to change gear between horrific human tragedy and adverts for MeUndies.
MURDERER:
So just tap in offer code I'M BEING MURDERED with your bloodied, trembling hand for 20% off some pants!
MURDERER:
Now, back to the murder-
[he revs up his chainsaw again]

What Labour should be saying (and all parties, days ago)...
People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.
@eddavey.libdems.org.uk has written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

I’ve been saying for a while that the Conservative Party’s problem is that they need to learn they can’t outflank Farage on the right. Looks like I was mistaken. The policy is an abomination and marks a shift to out and out racism and extremism. There is a moral vacuum at the top of the Party.
The Conservative immigration proposals cannot be allowed to stand without a profound and widespread statement of moral condemnation inews.co.uk/opinion/tori...

Average Tory leadership hopeful: we should re-establish the Raj. Let's have a fifth Anglo-Asante war. I do not think that Romanians count as people on a legal or metaphysical level.
Labour response: after 14 years of Tory mismanagement only Labour can be trusted to strip Romanians of their souls.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
