This reminds me of how classism and ageism have congealed in the anti-trans movement in their hatred of young insecure people and the things they care about.
They find common cause with many of the red-brown lot who also have open contempt for the actual modern working class.

UK politics weirdness about class isn't limited to the centre, it must be said; it's not just Labour chasing a vision of the working class that doesn't exist and hasn't for decades, it's non-Green Capital L left as well. Every time I see railing against Green parties for not having a class basis...

The thing about this, Corbyn can say absolutely anything, but all he is is a figure head, if Zarah hadn't pushed the issue they still wouldn't have opened membership I wonder if they would have announced making a party even, he is not driving the YORPER bus

Not even blinking between openly using "illegal immigration" to refer to "asylum seekers".
When asylum is not only my illegal, but internationally required not to be.
Mahmood is the shadow of cruelty in our politics. Reform could cease to exist and she'd still be pushing for this.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.
