A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

I didn't realise we'd see a British Home Office more overtly cruel and outright evil than that led by the Tories over the past decade without Reform getting into power.
But here we are. A Labour Home Office that is the most openly evil British institution in my lifetime.

This implies that people comparing the two torturously drew comparisons instead of - as I suspect it was for many people - immediately being reminded of visits to various museums where the looted belongings of displaced people are often the emotional core of the exhibition.

In the depths of my most significant isolation, when I was 15-16 years old, it was the internet which gave me a home and community when I needed it.
In a world where trans people face constant persecution and demonisation by radicalised adults the internet remains their safe harbour.
That matters.

Beyond fed up with how MPs have leapt on the chance to turn a transphobic murder into something to do with children's access to mobile phones, completely washing their hands of the transphobic radicalisation of adults that has driven this hate.
It's our version of school shootings and video games.

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day in the UK. Today I stood across from a Hitler-loving Nazi and his friends who insisted they're the ones who care about our war dead.
They think poppies and services is what it means to honour them. Fetishising symbols while ignoring the reality of war betrays them.
