'We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.' Starmer jumps on a bandwagon driven by scumbags and racists. I’m so tired of dog whistle politics. This garbage should have ended long ago. Celebrate immigrants. They benefit our culture, economy and health.

All this while refusing to call out Brexit as one of the main factors for Britains low growth and the rise in immigration after “Brexit got done.” Which allows Farage to evade his responsibility for the situation he now so happily exploits. This all helps only Reform.

Sadly, true. And the inevitable Tory/Reform merger will push them very close.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Navarro doesn't understand the deal they signed. The text reads: "The United Kingdom and the United States affirm that imported food and agricultural goods must comply with the importing country’s sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards and other mutually agreed standards."

Dorian asked me why Labour keeps trying to ape Reform. It’s a q that preoccupies my bit of Bluesky, so it’s worth the time, and I think the answer isn’t obvious. Short 🧵

Two weeks is a long time in politics! A visa based UK/EU youth mobility deal would extend opportunities to young people in the UK and across Europe. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make the case, especially my 72 Labour colleagues who signed the letter just two weeks ago.

Even for the Telegraph having its usual hissy fit, this is an enchantingly stupid sentence, especially seeing as their economics editor has put her name to the piece. "If anything needs a reset, it’s the UK economy." 😂 What does she think the trade reset with the EU is about? ~AA

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

V good letter in The Guardian on Labour’s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform. Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. We’re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure. It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.
