To be clear @peterwalker99.bsky.social no one cheers an awful policy announcement that makes anyone in our community feel less welcome or at risk of deportation.
What is true is that the Tory party is dead and that the Lib Dems will always stand up for our incredible immigrant communities.

Yet again, a distant but heartfelt cheer can be heard from Lib Dem activists in Blue Wall seats.

It breaks my mind that two British political parties have seen scenes like this and decided to try and replicate it in Britain. Thuggary, lawlessness, state brutality. Farage and Badenoch decided they liked the look of it.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

It’s precisely because Brexiters howl about betraying fish and talk shit about sovereignty/immigration *and our media amplifies their nonsense*, that govt is trapped by fear, unable to freely negotiate in our best interests in case Farage/Daily Mail have a meltdown.

Trump Recession Timeline:
1. This will be a Golden Age on Day 1! Prices will come down and economy will boom!
2. These policies won’t cause a recession. We know what we’re doing.
3. Ok, it will cause short-term pain but will be good in long term.
4. This is Biden’s recession!

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.
Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".
Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".
We need to sound the alarm.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal.
Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on".

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines.
