Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: βA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.β I suppose I shouldnβt 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 βwe 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.β She said βmaybe 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 β¦
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Did they wear a suit when they asked? They better say thank you!
I was a mouth breather but the therapist gave me the nose to see if i switch back and I did. 2 years of nose now! Haha

Resmed p10
From left to right.
Its a mask, I was fitted for nose mask, I found it hard to get used to and it shot a jet of air into my wife's face. I moved to the p10 mask and it's little nasal pillows and a band, works a treat. I see you are full face, so it'll be harder to transition.
I have had mine over 2 years and it has saved my life! I used to fall asleep driving, now I can operate on bugger all (but great) sleep! I shifted to nasal pillows rather than a nose mask and life is good. Make sure you adjust to what works for you and speak up to your practitioner.

The cover of 'The Dead Still Cry Out' by Helen Lewis
Picked up this book while walking in Eden in NSW today, the author Helen Lewis had set up a stall along the main street to talk about & sell her books as a large cruise ship had berthed in town. I am excited to give it a read, her dad sounds like he has an amazing story! #histbookchat
Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."
Uh no...we definitely realize it.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos
Politicians are great for saying a lot and saying nothing at all but he takes it to an eye watering level of incoherence!
I think midnight Maccas is the long lost cure for some illness that is yet to be discovered... surely!

Political cartoonist Mike Lukovich. Right side shows Prince Andrew being taken away with the caption βJUSTICEβ. Right side shows an ICE agent taking away a child, with the caption βJUST ICEβ.
Political cartoonists are on fire in this era π₯ If only we had a real government or you know, a much bigger national strike that isnβt on a weekend.
The @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social is 100% correct here. These AI images are damaging history and they are a very real threat to the history of the #Holocaust.
Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia.
Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.
The paperback edition of my book is coming out in April!

President Zelenskyy:
Ukraine didnβt choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.
