Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits. If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace. Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

"People who should have found sanctuary in this country have died by suicide, died from preventable diseases, died because of our hostile border policies. Each one of these deaths is an appalling tragedy that must be acknowledged, mourned, and learned from.’ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Still the overriding question remains unanswered. Why do we want to reduce net immigration?

Cutting visa access will simply drive more people into dangerous irregular migration. Irregular Migration is a symptom of a restrictive border regime. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction… Will we ever step back & make migration work for everyone?

What’s utterly depressing about today is that Labour are ensuring the issue of Immigration is framed negatively and headlines every news channel today. Shame on them. @jackabbott.bsky.social please speak out in support of your communities. Your town. #immigration

Coming soon: Labour responds to the failure of its Nigel Farage tribute act by trying even harder to be a Nigel Farage tribute act whilst closing its eyes to the evidence of where that path led the Tories.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

Gary Lineker has said he is leaving Match of the Day because he felt the BBC wanted him to leave over his support for Palestine. If you support Gary, like. If you support Palestine, RT! He should not be forced out for speaking the truth, even if the BBC don't want to hear it.

Ce matin, un homme a été déclaré décédé au port de Dover, au Royaume-Uni. Récupéré par les secours anglais à bord d'une des embarcations de fortune arrivée dans la nuit, il n'a pas pu être réanimé. Une victime de plus de ces politiques mortifères menées aux frontières.

The use of camps has always been down to government policies, both Labour and Conservatives, rather than the number of people seeking asylum. Napier is just one example of a system designed to dehumanise those in need of safety and protection. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
