Labour now falling so deep into the anti-immigration hole that they're telling bare-faced lies we'd sooner associate with Reform or the Tories.
The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

This is one of those times when it's OK to conflate Israel and Jews is it?
Let's be clear here, Israeli teams should not be in the competition while Israel breaks intl law and conducts genocide, so the question of allowing their fans to run riot like they did in Amsterdam should never have come up.

Ian Murray says that allowing violent racist 'fans' who sing songs about raping Palestinian women & the slaughter of Palestinian kids to attend a football match in the UK is necessary to heal society & combat racism.

It is chilling to watch top American reporters trying to act normally in this suddenly mad country. “I’ve asked the White House to comment & clarify”… really? Garret has asked them to “comment & clarify” this flagrant lawlessness. He knows this is absurd. But he gotta front.

Starmer didn't say he doesn't want to live near asylum seekers. He said he doesn't want hotels housing asylum seekers. Which is government policy, and far from objectionable. They're a pseudo-concentration camp hangover from the Tory Rwanda policy.
