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.

unfortunately PWAs havent took off for regular websites, so :​( kind of a useless feature

it forces PWAs offline which *can* resolve some issues (e.g gmail i believe will let you look at cached emails)

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Oh! It does exist! 😱

not until now but this is SO cool what the hell. cannot wait to get back to a real computer and good internet to give this a shot

misinformation about genAI on Bluesky? i'm shocked! 😒

(thank you for this! this rumour always does numbers and i never see anyone point out the "would a company be that stupid")

Donate to Protect Addi From Forced Removal, organized by Holly M On Sunday 15th February, my wife Addison was detained for 21 hours by UK border control at t… Holly M needs your support for Protect Addi From Forced Removal

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.

her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return.

please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

sincere apologies from someone who does this (phone service in brighton is horrific, and it's an... ok fallback when i can't use facetime audio instead)

The caretaker PM is running scared and resorting to more smears because he knows the game is up.

Labour is sinking in Gorton and Denton and it’s left to the Greens to challenge the far right threat of Reform.

Island of strangers? No. An Island of hope and unity.

thank you whoever at Slack added this when you mark yourself out of office and then send a message 🙂‍↕️

the meme where a guy at a football press conference says "i prefer not to speak, if i speak, i am in big trouble"

note: getting me to deliver said rant becomes substantially easier with alcohol (preferably a fun cocktail or glass of red wine)

If you ever catch me at a party, grab me and I will have *many* a rant about real issues GIDS had tied to the delay of care (surprise, not the rushing!!!)

Also - you should read transwrites.world/nhs-puberty-.... it's pretty essential reading if you haven't heard stories from ex-GIDS patients.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.

This is how Labour talk about trans people behind our backs yet insist they’re the party of equality and we have no choice but to vote for them, btw

Last day to complete the survey for the consultation on earned settlement - you can go straight to the consultation page at www.gov.uk/government/c...

"Settlement will no longer be granted automatically after a fixed period. Instead, migrants will need to earn it by demonstrating sustained good conduct, contribution and integration."
If you have anything to say about this, you've got until 11:59pm today.

Discord Isn't Requiring a Face Scan — Your Legislators Are Yesterday's headline in The Verge had people planning their Discord exodus overnight. But the real story isn't about Discord — it's about legislators demanding surveillance infrastructure.

If you were upset about Discord's age verification stuff yesterday, I need you to read this. I know, I know... Nuance?
On the internet‽
IN THIS ECONOMY‽‽‽

but yeah, until the headlines today when i actually checked, i didn't even realise my account wasn't verified , and i live in the UK. and it sucks but i feel we have bigger problems than gamer whatsapp

the closest to a conspiracy i will get is IMO discord are doing this to convince governments discord shouldnt be in a social media ban

(i imagine discord consider it VERY key to have young people build social connections on discord vs (e.g) whatsapp, and they worry about not getting users back)

it's also really funny seeing UK users post about this... and not realise they already have said restrictions on their account.

*unless you try to access NSFW spaces, in which case because the verification is a tiny on device model, you just boot up death stranding

damn. ipad + keyboard is actually just a light laptop with very good battery life

(a little bit of me is now wistful for the world where apple just let us install whatever OS we want… because this would probably be my goto computer if it ran a real OS)

(for clarification i cry quite easily at the moment sjksjks)

having a little sob at 1am after watching the new muppet show. genuinely great, you should watch it if you haven’t
