I really can’t bear to see such headlines anymore. Immigrants prop up this country and its systems and institutions. Most of them work really hard to contribute to society. They are equally deserving of a dignified life that doesn’t involve being scapegoated by politicians & media everyday. Enough!

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

The UK risks becoming an “island of strangers” due to immigration says Keir Starmer. This is possibly the most repellent statement that the Labour party has ever uttered. Shameful.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

This is bullshit. You can say there are costs, you can even claim the costs outweigh the benefits. But to say that immigration has caused incalculable damage is not just hugely offensive to millions of people and their families, but simply empirically demonstrably wrong
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

And a f-ing terrible one at that.
I honestly despair.
To be clear: immigration is NOT the primary cause of the housing crisis. It has a tiny impact.
Decades of foolishly using property as our primary personal asset class, combined with under investment in social housing, is the cause.

Deeply depressing day for anyone for anyone who has supported or cared about Labour in the past. Or hoped to have a government who care about good governance over posturing and politics. To get rid of the Tories, they've become them. Frankly, it's not a price worth paying.
