I regret to say there has been a lot of foolishness on some sections the left about #Ukraine, echoing Russian and far-right talking points. (Just as shamefully, the same people supported Assad in Syria). Now is the time to put that foolishness aside. We should all stand with Ukraine.

Libraries are absolutely crucial to communities across the city. In slashing opening hours and casting uncertainty over several libraries the Labour city council didn't consider the effect this would have, This is a poor decision and needs a rethink. birmingham.greenparty.org.uk/2025/02/17/c...

Living in a neighbourhood where immigration has had such a hugely positive impact, I can't help but be sickened by Labour pandering to the far-right xenophobia, racism and bigotry. Where's the Change they promised?

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...

This is officially one of the most idiotic things Labour could do. Playing to Reform emboldens Reform. You can't out anti-immigration them. Labour has both the majority and time to implement policies which actually benefit people, and put the case for immigration. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
