It's been clear for some time now the direction that Keir Starmer's government has been going in on immigration, despite some people denying it at the time. Here's what I wrote back in February www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/keir-starm...

Neither the Conservatives or Labour deliver what the people need: doctor appointments, operations, good schools, better roads, trains running on time etc. Instead we are getting immigrant bashing. That won’t solve any problems and it’s a failed strategy. You can’t beat Reform at their own game.

Govt is portraying the new #PlanningBill as 'win-win' for nature & people. This is false. Sec of State needs to amend this statement so as not to mislead MPs' votes. We will apply for judicial review if correction not forthcoming ⚖️ wildjustice.org.uk/general/wild...

80 years ago we beat fascism in Europe. "80 years later the far right in Europe is on the rise once again" In all the coverage of todays VE day commemorations on the BBC & Sky News you don't get any mention of this.

Reports that Labour will demand a higher standard of English from migrants, comparable with A level standard and able to write about complex issues. I wonder if they think the 240,000 Brits in Dubai should learn Arabic and discuss complex issues with it?

"I got it wrong and I condemn Israel" That's what Conservative MP Mark Pritchard said yesterday. He said he had supported Israel for decades, but that in light of the state’s actions in Palestine, he got it wrong. He's begging for lives to be saved.

Inadequate paternity pay results in mothers taking maternity leave becoming the 'default', reinforcing the gender pay gap. Increasing it not only tackles this, but also gives freedom of choice to families. If we're serious about closing the gender pay gap, we must reform paternity pay 👇

Another day another protest. Today the target is @barclaysuk.bsky.social who are stubbornly addicted to investing in planet killing fossil fuels & are also complicit in the ongoing genocide. Various groups inside and out to give them a tough time. Huge focus on Palestine and investment in weapons.

This is what worries me about the carbon bubble bursting - cleaning up all the uncapped wellls and other abandoned fossil fuel infrastructure will be mind-bogglingly expensive, and the fossil fuel companies need to be made to pay for it before they go bust

Power of fossil fuel interests over mass media mean that journalists and editors are not able to make links for the readers even suggesting extreme weather is a product of climate change. How do they live with such inner conflict and cognitive dissonance? We need brave journalists to tell the truth

Now we see that voting for Reform is not just a protest but means an end of local services Nigel Farage wants to take a chainsaw to the health, housing and transport services we all rely on He also wants to end working from home, presumably because he doesn't want to work from Clacton
