Not a chance he's bothered, or even aware. Unionism is now about preserving the Union rather than addressing what's best for Scotland. It's an angle that's not proving very effective in the six counties.

My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column on Starmer's "island of strangers" speech & a UK government whose answer to Reform is to drag us into the mire. To those defending him: language matters. Across the globe, we see where the othering of our neighbours leads. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Brilliant thread. The Powell analogy is overblown. The real flaws and consequences of that speech are far worse. It’s Starmer accepting populism instead of fighting it.

So Starmer won't send immigrants to Scotland where they could boost the workforce - but tries to pay for them to be sent to Albania. Thought it was Mandelson pulling his strings but maybe it's the Mad March Hare. #downtherabbithole

Did he go on to quantify the ongoing costs of Labour's PFI fiascos? Naw, thought not.

Lots of nonsense is written about football (often by me 😆) but for @thehibees.bsky.social to gain third place is a huge tribute to the honesty, hard work and decency of the entire squad and staff. Good guys CAN win! Magic moments💚🙌✊

Plaid Cymru's Liz Saville Roberts asks about the PM's recent speech on immigration and his comment about an "island of strangers". "Somebody here has to call this out. Is there any belief he holds which survives a week in Downing Street?" #PMQs

An upcoming historical anniversary – and a lovely bit of writing that makes me feel like I’ve been somewhere I’ve never seen. Magical, evocative stuff

Every time I think about what Keir Starmer said it makes me angrier because it's all part of a continuum of dehumanisation and othering that leads us to a position where Sebastian Gorka can look directly into a camera and deny babies in Gaza are starving, and to the wider tolerance of genocide.

NEW: The First Minister of Wales has rejected “divisive language” used by the Prime Minister when it comes to immigration

submitted 7 days ago • 0 comments

Keir Starmer's echoing of Enoch Powell's language talking abt "an island of strangers" will please Downing Street. This was a deliberate choice of words by Morgan McSweeney & aping Blue Labour. They want people to see the Powell reference. Despicable, divisive, xenophobic politics.

Is today the day the British Labour Party finally died? Thirty-one years ago to the day John Smith died while he was leader of the Labour Party. What would he think if he were alive today? He would not have spoken in the xenophobic language of fear & othering that Starmer has.

To Starmer's demand that migrants must speak English, Scotland says Thoir ort agus bruich do cheann / gaun byle yer heid.

We are proud of our diverse communities who chose to make Scotland their home. And unlike Labour, the SNP will never imitate Nigel Farage. We will confront him, and we will defeat him.

‘Cheap foreign labour’ – this is how Keir Starmer denigrates the migrant carers looking after your loved ones

Sadly U.K. Labour have form on this. Pre-Referendum, they threatened that independence would "make your granny in England a foreigner". Blatant nonsense and an appeal to xenophobia - then and now.

Sickening rhetoric from Starmer on immigration. Straight from the Farage playbook, happy to siphon off skilled workers from abroad while blocking care workers we so desperately need. Shame on Labour. Devolve immigration now.

Still yearning for when top level journalists reported accurately with the benefit of research and insight. Yesterday BBC's US Correspondent told us that Vance was "a devout Catholic". Not a vestige of Catholicism in him, as is obvious to any reasonable observer. "Claims to be" would be accurate.
