This is very good from @rafaelbehr.bluesky.social (and more edifying than another Enoch Powell meme). Before he was elected, I remember talking about what Starmerism would be. The closest I could get was ‘respect’. The problem with that mantra is now emerging. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants 2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

Starmer's "Island of strangers" is his "rivers of blood" moment. There can now be no doubt he's following an Enoch Powell trajectory on immigration. What a vile man pandering to the far right like this, out-Faraging Farage. #IslandOfStrangers #YouYesYet Scotland?

If the UK is becoming an island of strangers, it sure as shit isn’t because of immigrants, unless I missed the message that all white Brits are friends and see each other all the time

Farage is, bit by bit, shifting the electorate in his direction, pressing buttons on Net Zero, immigration, culture wars and much else. It’s actually mind blowing that some think parroting his rhetoric will see him off. Britain is sleep walking into a generational nightmare.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening. That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk. Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Today, Starmer said he’d “take back control of our borders” and claimed that soaring immigration had done “incalculable damage” to our country. No. That damage is done by the ruinous dishonesty of our politicians and the hatred whipped up by their ugly anti-immigrant rhetoric. Shame on you, Starmer.

Keir Starmer has lived in North London for 40 years, a multicultural area where migrants are welcome & play important roles in the economy & public services. Yet to Starmer such people are apparently 'strangers'. He didn't think so when he lived on the Archway Rd in the 80s 👇 wp.me/p15p2Q-e9G

Starmer's incredibly racist statement on migration seems entirely in line with his incredibly racist comments about Bangladeshis, his incredibly racist treatment of Diane Abbot, his incredibly racist attitude towards Gypsies, Roma, Travellers. If Reform are "defeated" this way, what's the point?

Goodnight from Lavina Hurd, still abuzz with visions after the sonic pomp of Silver Hand in concert at the Brighthaven Coliseum. Goodnight from Madeleine Waller, not sure if the giant sphere of star-white light hovering above the house is a thing of her dreams or real. Goodnight from Hookland.

It's time for Keir Starmer to level with the UK and tell them that Brexit has cost us 4-6% of GDP leading to the £40+ billion black hole in public finance requiring unpleasant taxation changes AND piece meal trade deals won't bring in even 1% in replacement. So get back in. #r4today #wato #bbcpm

1. Brexit does not stand up to scrutiny 2. The more scrutiny is placed on Brexit, the worse it looks 3. A strong majority already think Brexit is going badly 4. Labour can't fight Reform on immigration. They're trying. They'll LOSE. 5. So why not make the fight all about Brexit? That's winnable!
