Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Yesterday it was Farage. Today I find myself agreeing with Corbyn. Although I suspect Farage would agree with him too...
Removing asylum support. Seizing belongings. Deporting entire families, including children.
Labour are not just paving the path to a Reform government. Reform may as well already be in power.
This government has no moral compass — and it should be ashamed of its inhumanity.

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

The Wylfa units are PWR reactors with a slightly smaller rating than those at Torness and there will be three of them that will take 10 years to build. They are not real SMRs. They're as much a scam as GB Energy.

Another example of how feeding the hard right-wing does nothing but aid the hard right-wing electorally. The German CDU-CSU's appeasement of the far-right AfD & adopting hardline immigration policies has produced a surge in support for the AfD who are now ahead of the CDU-CSU.

Patronising nonsense. So we’re supposed to ignore the genuinely grim policy stuff being briefed out because we need to trust the government that they will row back on it at some stage? Is that it?
Labour is going to introduce safe routes for those claiming refugee status while everybody here is talking about ‘jewellery theft’ proposals. I strongly suspect the latter was meant to divert Sun readers’ attention from clocking the former while you are meant to be welcoming the former. 🫤

Nigel Farage is actually quoted as saying that the Home Secretary ‘sounds like a Reform supporter’ with these horrible policies. She probably thinks that’s a good thing - most right minded people think it’s a disgrace.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?
