@mrjamesob.bsky.social Even if Farage apologises, it changes nothing, James. Because he won't mean it. His entire political agenda is built on his beliefs. And while credible journalists continue to support him, nothing will change.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!
Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Every time living standards fall, Nigel Farage blames migration.
And every time, Keir Starmer nods along.
People are struggling with the cost of living and blaming migration won’t fix that.
Scotland deserves better - a fairer, wealthier, welcoming future with independence.

What makes Bluesky different: it’s open source, so anyone can contribute to building the experience they want. And even if you build a whole new app, the protocol means you can migrate with your data, identity, and relationships intact.
The eternally-great thing about open source: if something doesn't exist, and the devs don't have time to work on it themselves, you can just implement it for them!
If they decide not to take it as-is, you've still helped explore the design space.
And if they don't accept it, but you need it, fork!

When I hosted a show at LBC many of you wrote to me asking me to watch The Labour Files and to interview Martin Forde KC. In heavily biased legacy media environments doing that was a risk. But as journalists it’s our job to platform perspectives the public should hear without fear or favour.
Last year @sangitamyska.bsky.social asked Martin Forde about the appalling comments made by very senior Lab party managers about Diane Abbott which he found were "expressions of visceral disgust drawing on racist tropes"
Forde noted Labour had never apologised to Diane for those messages
