Being an immigrant under Theresa May's stewardship of the Home Office was bleak and often frightening. This feels like it has the potential to be 100x worse. I didn't expect much from this government but fuck me, I really didn't expect them to go full Rivers of Blood.

Since Starmer decided to make immigration a supernova-hot hot button issue... I knew Labour were piling indignities on immigrants like sprinkling confetti at a wedding, but I managed to miss this particular horror until yesterday. Perhaps you didn't know either? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A question that I haven't heard a good answer to: if cutting migration by a third in a year hasn't changed the narrative on it at all - what would make you think cutting it by another third (or half] would?

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

How often I give a plaintive cry of "what a world, what a world," how rarely I feel the relief of melting into the floor beneath me.

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

Leave it up to Donald Trump to find a way to get all of the minuses of tariffs with none of the few benefits

This is like O.J. attending Nicole’s funeral (which he did, and for the same reason).

People LOVED their factory jobs back in the 60s / 70s. That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

If you, or anyone you know, likes birdwatching and struggles with poor mental health. I’d love to send an e-copy of Bird Therapy (pdf) to read for free. It can be helpful to know you’re not alone. Please message me if you do and also consider sharing this post. #naturewriting #birdtherapy #booksky

"Data doesn't lie"? It's amazing how much the same people who mocked pre-eminent scientists during COVID are now blindly following a ketamine-fueled hustler and the teenage DOGE dorks.

This is excellent! Love that she clarifies that Die Linke is not an extremist left party & had an MP who crafted lots of 'how to deal with the cost of living' content that resonated with yp so can we stop with the hot takes about young women being radicalised? Social dems ≠nazis, hope that helps

I know we all love a dose of hopium, especially now. But the take, which I see all across here, that the far right was defeated in Germany tonight because 80% of Germans voted for other parties is very misleading and unhelpful. Understanding this really matters. 🧵

The absolute cheek of this.

THIS! EVERYONE MUST WATCH! This short video is the bar that you should judge every political cartoon and media story by. THIS IS THE ONLY STORY! This video will be at the top ever nightly report from here on. Spread this far and wide. make sure all your journalist friends see it. this is the way.

What’s the point in refusing citizenship to refugees who have ‘made a dangerous journey’? What’s the point in publishing footage of people being deported? I’m sorry to say that this is simply a continuation of the performative cruelty we saw from the Conservatives.

With Labour still boasting about immigration raids and deportations, this is my piece on how counterproductive they are. Nothing about these policies "smash the gangs". They inevitably, and demonstrably, lead to more people being exploited and trafficked. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

It's always the cunts who've no clue how Byzantine, expensive & soul destroying the immigration process is who say this shit. Immigrants already have to: pay huge application fees, prove their financial status, not claim benefits, carry private health insurance... But it's not about that, is it?
