Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵

I guess Kristi Noem is fired and good riddance
Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran.
Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.
Kristi Noem has used $200M+ in taxpayer funds to pay firms with close ties to her top aides to make anti-immigrant PSAs.
Her luxury jets will cost taxpayers nearly $300M.
Trump's lackeys rail against "government waste," but are happy to pilfer taxpayer funds for themselves.
The most amazing thing about the latest GOP Nazi group chat story is that the ending is *exactly the same* as the ending of a different story by a different publication about an entirely different GOP Nazi group chat!
The media must stop normalizing the far right
Every uncritical mention of far-right rhetoric is an editorial decision with political consequences.
THIS IS THE ROAD THAT ENDS IN FASCISM. Far-right views are NOT normal or the majority: stop treating them as such.

Migration is part of what makes this country great.
We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours.
The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.
Reform UK will be using scrapping the 20 mph limit as a key Welsh manifesto pledge.
There’s been a 11.8% fall in road casualties in the 18 months since it was brought in. The majority of 16-34 year olds support the 20 mph limit.
Another case of Reform being out of touch with future generations.
Make no mistake: this is where fascism starts.
It goes from here to banning people from working, and then from marrying "true" citizens.
This is not any kind of over-reaction: we have seen this before and we know where it ends.
Reform must be stopped at all costs.

When Reform fail at the polls they go full-Trump and dispute the result.
Notice how they never have a problem with an election if they win? - funny that.

The third graders in Steubenville, Ohio, beat all the odds and became the strongest little readers in the state.
This week on Reveal, we look at how this school in an economically disadvantaged town became a success—and how a new law puts it all at risk.
I can’t believe i have to say this, but you don’t lose a war because you did not “war crime” enough.
Ask the USSR in Afghanistan between 1979-89. Short of dropping a nuclear bomb, they did everything else. Or ask Putin in Ukraine.
Hannah, we are so happy to welcome you to Parliament and to the team of @greenparty.org.uk MPs! 💐💚☀️
You could have forgotten the LibDems exist for the past week but Davey is quite right that British expatriates should pay tax if they’re working in the Gulf & benefit from our protection.

The inevitable result of Labour dragging themselves ever more rightward whilst telling any progressive voter than we have no choice, that we have to vote for them to keep Reform or the Tories out.
Well we've got newd for you: @greenpartyhan.bsky.social proved you utterly wrong.
