Labour's disgusting deportation stunt this week wasn't just morally bankrupt, it was politically stupid. Politicians need to find the backbone to be honest about the real source of our problems: the wealthy elite draining money from our communities metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/l...

Thought for the day: Trump: We're shutting down USA aid agencies & cutting back on social security & public health in USA but we're still going to bankroll Apartheid state of Israel. Is this designed to create a backlash against Jewish people that long term the far RW will take advantage of?
