Warmongers will warmonger

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.

Just makes me thing of this evergreen moment in The Good Place

It is blindingly obvious that this is an illegal war of aggression, and it is blindingly obvious who instigated it.

I suppose poorly communicating what is not a terrible decisions is very much par for the course with this government too

It’s almost as if he should just have morals/a plan and stick to it

Getting that on a mug tbh

There really always is a tweet

That's quite enough internet for you today

What a woman

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

This is a snatch game bomb for the ages!

Missing the most important rule.

Never, EVER, have sex.

I think “Wuthering Heights” has the same problem Saltburn does - Fennell’s insistence on redeeming characters she identifies with completely defangs the critique.

Unfortunately for it though, unlike Saltburn, style utterly overwhelms any crumb of substance that could have been too

I hope the hard bit is literal

Your email still finds me listening to Bad Bunny pretending this first sunny blue sky day in London in months is in fact tropical and not 1°C

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

God I could scream. Taxpayers don't fund things with their taxes. The government funds things by issuing bonds. Taxes at best recover money already spent.
