"Anti-migrant politics will not build a single house, staff a single hospital or raise anyone’s wages. Instead, by echoing its rhetoric, the government is simply fuelling the rise of Reform UK"
Well done to these Labour MPs, trade unionists, and members. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/17/labour-figures-decry-migration-asylum-policy-tories-performative-cruelty

Even tho the UK hasn't implemented all the Brexit deals yet!
And we certainly haven't earned a place at the top table.
He was 'keeping his powder dry' as i recall.
And then, straight after the Brexit vote, he insisted we immediately trigger art50.
And here we are.....
Still, good to see, at last.
But I don't see why settled refugees who make a life here can't apply for citizenship.
Labour must fight Reform, don't become Reform!

The Women's Conference of Unison just voted to support trans people. ❤️
It's so bad that if the EU offered asylum many of us would leave. No joke. I'd take a resettlement deal if it was offered without hesitation.
But here we are....
I wish Starmer and the Tories would piss off and I could have my European life back.
We were all volunteers but common respect & decency came to us automatically towards those who came to the support hub for help. Or just basic company & a chat.
The fact that a few greedy bastards have controlled the wealth 2,000+ years can be fixed.
It is not difficult!
Reform is popular because people have had enough with excessive amounts of Migrants already in the uk
The more immigrants you let in, the more popular the right wing will become. It's common sense
For all of this we need skilled and qualified workers...and unfortunately we don't have enough home grown ones....

Labour is dead now. Something new and left wing is needed to counter the right wing. If you don't improve lives, Farage will win and then we get Trump 2.0
Unless you’ve got loads of dosh, like Reform, how long would it take to set up this “new left” party, get members, raise profile , get buy-in and convince voters to vote. You don’t just whip a party up overnight.
