Exactly. Focus on making people’s lives better, not blaming immigrants for everything.

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger Win the fight

The race to the bottom is on as Starmer delivers his great immigration reset | John Crace

I am so disgusted with Starmer’s speech today on immigration and glad I haven’t voted Labour for many years. It’s awful to see him pander to Reform and spread their lies about immigration in this country.

Fantastic analysis of today’s ruling

The fact that Trump’s inauguration is on MLK day is further insult to injury on a day there could have been a much more qualified woman of colour taking office. What a missed opportunity.

FIFA doing a stellar job of cleaning up their image 🙄

On the assisted dying bill, am actually shocked 11 Lib Dem MPs voted against. As a liberal myself it seems an absolute no brainer to back it, subject to very strict guidelines and criteria ofc.

Not an easy subject but a step in the right direction. Didn’t think it would pass at this stage so a bit surprised.

Worth saying - whatever you think of the legislation and the principle - that courts have been clear time and again that they do not consider right to die to be a human right and that it is a matter for national parliaments to legislate on.

Heidi Alexander’s appointment as transport secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history - great stat from @georgeeaton.bsky.social

How the votes for assisted dying split by party

Basically agree with all of this. Well done for articulating what’s happened with the debate so well. 👏

I find it incredible that this can happen in a democracy. No one should be above the law.

This is correct.

Tories determined to continue self-destructing

Mum can you come and pick me up the sandwiches are being woke again

If you’re wondering how far the Tories are from median British public opinion…

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
