I migrated to UK when I was 20. Had lots of jobs, got through university, became a professor eventually. Spent time in the senior civil service, doing science policy. Paid quite a bit of tax. I would like to apologise to Keir Starmer for the incalculable harm I have done to our country.

We all know the person in No. 10 who thought they were playing 5D chess by reviving Enoch Powell’s fascistic phrase “island of strangers”. Keir Starmer approved it — then parroted it. Shame on all their houses.

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger Win the fight

Worst is thinking migration tap to be turned on and off for our benefit or to indulge voters rather than seeing immigrants as individuals with agency, choices and rights.Integration ought to be about helping people to take part rather than singling people out and making them perform arbitrary tasks

A good rule of thumb: if Jacqui Smith says you’re wrong, you’re probably right. P.S. She voted for the illegal Iraq war — that killed more than a million people.

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

Today, the Independent Alliance delivered media handbooks to mainstream press outlets, suggesting basic ways they could hold the Prime Minister to account over Gaza. You can read the full handbook here: linktr.ee/jeremycorbyn

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.

Starmer is aligning himself with a man who was too toxic for Ted Heath.

Didn't have Starmer as a fascist sympathiser on my 2025 bingo card. Shouldn't be surprised though, he was always a snivelly little shite.

Keir Starmer is now Enoch Powell, but with the charisma of a comatose accountant.

Finally did something I really should have done months ago and resigned my membership of the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social after Starmer decided to go all Rivers of Blood this week.

The clues were there with Starmer when he Wasn’t getting great responses on the doorstep. Binned off all his leadership pledges. Witch-hunted solid, left-wing, community based activists. Created swathes of PPCs in his own grey, uninspiring, visionless image. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

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.

Its just so disappointing that UK politics is "well Reform won a lot of council seats, so we should cater to those people" When the Greens won more seats than Reform, and its ACTUALLY where a lot of Labour votes are moving to, yet none of their policies are headline news every goddamn day

This might sound pretty basic but if politicians led their decision-making with “how can I care for people well?” instead of “how can I win power?” I think the world would be in a better spot.

"A crushing blow" is how Care England has described government plans to scrap the social care visa scheme, which allows carers from abroad to work in the UK. It is a move which care providers say makes the crisis in social care even worse news.sky.com/story/restri...

The media are starting to see that genocide is undeniable. However, those who have enabled this mass slaughter must be held to account, including the media and political classes. There is no two-siding genocide.

Yes we do, @peterstefanovic.bsky.social -but we also have a stupid and craven government who will not use their enormous majority to effect the change people voted for, and instead are trying to out-Reform Nigel Farage.
