Well said Tanita. I just binned my party membership, if I wanted that sort of divisive nonsense I'd vote for Farage.

I'm the daughter of an immigrant, a niece too. As a specialist infectious diseases nurse my mum more than contributed to this country and when she needed care herself, almost every single person involved, from care worker to consultant, was an immigrant too. The UK will be nothing without immigrants

Exactly right.

Why can’t we be an island of friends we just haven’t met yet?

alexianortonjones.bsky.social•3 days ago

What a POS.

And transparent too!

Absolutely correct. The hypocrisy and blatant xenophobia is cringeworthy.

arianta1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hypocrisy well highlighted

Thanks Tanita! Very well said.

OMG, I can't believe it is actually, Tanita who sang "Twist In My Sobriety".
And yes, I am aghast at the 180-degree turn that Keir Starmer has pulled here.

He and his party disgust me, not in my name.

His father was a toolmaker you know (I heard that somewhere🤔) which explains why he is an absolute tool!

Didnt think we would get someone as morally bankrupt as Boris Johnson yet here we are.

Used as props. Discarded to suit the populist agenda.

You realize, allowing millions of unemployed, non producing immigrants into a country is a terrible thing for the economic well being of the people who already lived there, right?

msbluewednesday.bsky.social•3 days ago

You realise most people who’ve immigrated here have jobs, can’t claim unemployment benefit if they’re not citizens, and are often our doctors, nurses, carers, scientists, professors, feed us, provide services & contribute culturally?

Reform / Tory propaganda

It would be. But it has never happened here.

The ‘strangers’ on this island are those in public life who change their opinions as readily as a chameleon on a Jackson Pollock painting. And to channel Tim Walz they are every bit as ‘weird’ as the GOP

Going forwards Keir Starmer should refuse to do any photo ops with any non-white people unless they can prove they have English A level

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them...well, I have others.

The fact that a Labour MP accepted a knighthood said everything I ever needed to know about "Sir" Keir.

He just did the usual snake oil salesman thing...
