Cruelty to immigrants is not what my party stands for. It’s time for True Labour, not Blue Labour | Stella Creasy We must get back to the party’s roots before it is too late. That means embracing difference, rejecting division – and f

@stellacreasy.bsky.social: "The performative cruelty of repeatedly demanding that refugees prove they are still refugees – or else face deportation – cannot be understated. It is also a waste of money given that so few refugees, when retested, will change status."

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

Dr @binitakane.bsky.social explains how a theory that #MECFS is caused by deconditioning and a fear of exercise permeated medicine and framed the illness as psychological. This led to the patients being neglected, gaslit, and some would say abused. Causing huge trauma for the community.

👏 Best for Britain CEO Naomi Smith (@pimlicat.bsky.social) lays out exactly how Starmer can go further and faster in the UK and EU relationship.

Yes, Keir Starmer must do better and go faster in bringing Britain closer to Europe. Here’s how to reset his reset | Naomi Smith MPs warn the plan so far lacks direction and drive, but there are four clear ways to really move on from our disastrous Brexit, says Naomi Smith of Best for Britain

“Four ways to a better, happier, more successful You” - no, not a pre-beach diet, but some really good advice for the Labour gov’t.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Can we extract the Reform nonsense from Labour? These immigration proposals are obscene, but the government can be forced to think again.

The government's immigration proposals are an obscenity: They needlessly punish refugees, make integration basically impossible, and introduce a sliding system of administrative abuse depending on how wealthy you are iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

Right, so the Conservative Party has given up on international law AND #democracy
www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

"Do you accept there is such a thing as international law? And if you were Prime Minister would you try to adhere to it?"

Farage: "And international law? Well it is whatever you want it to be isn't it really? You know what is international law?"

Reform UK would be dangerous for all of our rights.

Reform UK is in big trouble – which means it will fight dirtier than ever The Gorton and Denton results should encourage the government to seriously look at introducing an alternative vote syste

Accusations of cheating and sectarianism show that Reform UK pose a danger to our democracy, even in defeat.

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found

No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.

The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.

Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.

The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.

Screenshot shot from the Guardian website of 2 articles An hour ago - UK RAF airbase in Cyprus hit by drone strike 6 hours ago - UK to allow US to use British bases for defensive strikes against Iran

Starmer allows the US to use British bases

5 hours later, a British RAF base is attacked

Why is Starmer supporting these deranged lunatics and their illegal war, instead of condemning them

Clip from BBC Politics North:

A GP describes how #LongCovid ended her career after she needed a wheelchair within a year of contracting the virus.

She says patients are being forgotten by politicians and the NHS as the last dedicated clinic in the area prepares to close.

I hate to say it, but Roger Boyes is a clueless idiot.

How many more times do these people need to get hit in the face by the reality before their publishers finally begin noticing?

Pleased to say that the session at the London Book Week on my new book "A Better Death - The Case for Assisted Dying" (Reaktion Books) went well. There was no vote, but it was clear that 70+% were in favour (as with the national polls). Five more literary festivals lined up.

We know how this plays out. Mass demonstrations, increased terrorist activity, inflation, interest rate freezes/hikes, and a total failure to plan properly for regime change.

Spare a thought for Russians who moved to Dubai to escape our war with Ukraine & are now stuck in the war between our allies, Iran & USA.

It took just one phone call from Donald Trump for Starmer to jump into yet another Middle East illegal war, failing to learn the lessons of the tragedies of Iraq, Libya and Syria.

Hi Nigel Farage, are you elderly or infirm?

Because in 2024, when you stood for election you voted by post (in Kent because you didn’t, and still don’t live in Clacton).

Please don’t tell us all you don’t practice what you preach.

#PostalVoting

I see Nigel "always cheated never defeated" Farage is now trying to stop non UK citizens from voting. This would mean my Irish wife would have no right to vote despite giving 20 years of hard work and taxes to the UK state.

And where does it stop - the unemployed/benefit claimants will be next

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
