🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray
I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future.
Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

I just reread the poem "Home" by Warsan Shire and I'm posting it here in its entirety because a reminder is warranted.
no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well

Telling that Starmer's response focused on the tweets about Jess Phillips rather than himself. Systems and policies matter, but never underestimate the importance of having a genuinely decent human being in charge.

Are we talking enough about immigration?
We can't let the right exploit these riots for their rhetorical gain.
