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.

Labour think by being "tough", they will win over Reform voters. They seem blind to the fact they come across as pathetic bullies, and drive away millions of decent, fair minded voters. The lack of morality from Labour is genuinely upsetting, and one of the reasons why I joined the Greens.

Labour is no longer the party of trade unions or the NHS. It's time for unions to stop funding them and for voters to vote Green, to actually support a properly funded and staffed NHS.
NHS staff still earn less than we did in 2010.

If we accept someone is a genuine refugee and they build a life here, perhaps have children born here, what is the advantage to us of expelling them once we’ve persuaded ourselves that their country of origin is safe?
