@mrjamesob.bsky.social Desmond should take a look at how the Swedish final '-g' in 'Thunberg' is pronounced, too. He'd love it.

27 more people have been killed in Gaza - whilst collecting aid. Our government will say sad words and make sad faces. Forget the words. Stop selling arms that are actively fueling a genocide.

Your regular reminder, a country which one person may feel safe in does not mean it is safe for everyone. Yes, claims in general need to be processed faster, but also fairly. This is a continuation of prioritising denial over protection, already shown to create more backlogs in appeals for one thing

Rather than making child sexual abuse an immigration or "race" issue. The Home Office, and media, needs to focus on it as a serious issue without conflation to race or immigration status, especially as majority of perpetrators are white British men. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

The ultimate irony of halving net immigration numbers: You can do it without reducing small boats crossings at all!! This is Nigel Farage’s immigration doom-loop & Starmer is up to his neck in the death trap like the Tories before him 🤦‍♀️

Here's the last thing Pope Francis said about Universal Basic Income before he died. He described it as "strict justice" in light of unpaid care and also public investment in R&D and infrastructure. "Every fortune is the product of many people and many generations." UBI is our rightful inheritance.

If you're all about 'dirty jobs' and supporting those who do them, you should love unpaid care workers and support universal basic income to support them and their absolutely essential work. Full episode link: youtu.be/10HwqxRjB5Q?...

There are other ways to build the world that will replace corporate globalisation. Why are we allowing the fascists and ethno-nationalists to set themselves up as the only show in town? designforsustainability.medium.com/bioregioning...

The first and only question anyone defending Labour's immigration plans needs to be asked is "what's next?" Once they have turned away migrants what is next? How will they fill shortages beyond press ganging people into jobs? #r4today 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4 No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us. But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointments… Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.

Anyone who honestly wants to rectify this should support universal basic income. Unconditionality is how to stop the cruelty.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

First off, if people are eligible for family reunification then they should be getting it anyway and not being swapped like Pokémon cards. That's before the inevitable outcome of this leading to more smuggling and trafficking as people sent to France try again. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

📚 Finished reading: A Guide for the Perplexed by E. F. Schumacher, which someone on X recommended after seeing my book list for 2025. Back in 1977 Schumacher had warned that replacing religion with science left a gaping hole in humanity that would only grow larger. And so, here we are…
