This isn't fixing the system though, it's punishing folks for being foreign and seeking asylum. This is pandering to the right whingers who they let drive the narrative.

The reprogramming clearly successful - “refugees do not exist, only illegal migrants & make sure you say ‘illegal migration’ as often as possible”.

This seems like a good time to mention that this Labour, you know "protect vulnerable people" government has pretty much closed the last remaining "safe routes" for people to seek asylum in the UK, along with preventing refugees already here being reunited with their spouses or children.

That’s why “blue Labour” is doomed and was doomed from the start: you cannot make water run uphill. A party whose core electorate for over a decade has been socially liberal university graduates and ethnic minorities cannot sell itself as a party hostile to socially liberal values.

It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate trans people, acknowledge the challenges they face, and reflect on how we as a society can work together to improve trans people’s lives.

Thank you being a sane voice in the media. Elsewhere the same voices are arguing to keep the massive salaries for CEOs and managers in large private companies. Strange how the NHS could run without management but in private companies they're worth millions.

NHS Admin are a valuable part of the team, without them clinical systems grind to a halt. They schedule lists, book appointments, chase contractors, equipment & orders. They are the unseen & often unthanked backbone of the service. To my former colleagues, once again going through this, stay strong

Lobbyists for Big Tech now outnumber MEPs
On average, there are 3 meetings a day between Big Tech lobbyists + senior EU figures. Meanwhile an NGO fighting to stop people's water supplies being hoovered up by data centres will wait months to get a single meeting.

💸 Do you know how much money Big Tech is spending on lobbying in Brussels? How has this amount been increasing? On what is the money being funnelled to and what can we do about it?

What on earth was the reason for the 3 line whip to vote this down? The Labour party supported the swift brick amendment when it was tabled on Conservative government legislation in 2023. Why has it gone from supporting swift bricks in opposition to imposing a 3 line whip to block them in government
