As a recently naturalised immigrant who has lived in the UK for 15 years now, these announcements from Labour are absolutely heartbreaking. Scapegoating refugees and immigrants is just the most awful abandonment of moral obligation to humanity and will not fix a single thing. Absolutely devastating.

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Emotions are high today. Some of my greatest gaming memories came from Xbox. I’ve loved covering the platform over 20+ years. But I can’t help but feel MS has manipulated their fanbase and quietly ditched their obligations as a platform holder. Xbox fans deserved better, but the graph will go up
