Far-right thug Tommy Robinson flees UK after police warning over terror threat Far-right thug Tommy Robinson took to social media this evening to proclaim himself a 'priority target' for ISIS, adding he had fled the UK after receiving a call from Bedfordshire Police

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

It's partly the ignorant lack of gratitude.
People like me came to UK fully reared and educated at the expense of another country. Spent our productive years paying for your education, health and services with our taxes. Now from the racists in Lab, Con, Ref: F off - you're to blame for everything.

My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

In case you missed it ...
💥 This is the type of speech Starmer could have given on immigration. But unlike the Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez, Starmer doesn't seem to feel any sense of duty, protection, or thanks towards the foreigners in the UK who are holding this country together.

Trump administration considering suspending habeas corpus The White House is

Trump administration considers suspending habeas corpus.

This would deny people the legal right to challenge one’s detention.

Arbitrary detention of opponents would be normalised.

No different from dictatorships.

Rule of law? Respect for human rights?

UK care homes face ban on overseas recruitment under migration plans Yvette Cooper to announce proposals to reduce net migration in response to growing pressure from Reform UK

We have a desperate shortage of care workers. This has a catastrophic effect on the NHS too.

Labour’s decision to close the care worker visa scheme for overseas recruitment is appalling, kneejerk politics that - yet again - will penalise the most vulnerable.

Nobel prize winnerJoseph Stiglitz explains how Brexit is making the UK worse off

Then criticises Keir Starmer and Labour for negotiating with Trump from a position of weakness and not with strength by joining other countries

Meanwhile, the incessant claims from some politicians and newspapers about recent growth being mostly or entirely driven by “low-skilled migration” have little or no support from the actual data. There are certainly plenty of recent migrants on relatively low pay – but equally many on average or better wages. And, perhaps more importantly, they seem to be seeing quite rapid earnings progression, so the longer-term impacts may be even more positive.

For anyone who's just seen Yvette Cooper talking about the immigration white paper, I set out some of the evidence and facts here.

Anybody who claims all/most recent immigration is "low-skilled should be forced to explain this..

I am seriously shocked at the words coming out of Yvette Cooper’s mouth

Of course I’d rather Labour had won the by-election and losing by six votes is astonishing.

But I hope Starmer takes the message that Reform are better at being Reform than Labour, and Labour’s best bet is to go back to being Labour.

Mae Jemison wears a bright orange NASA space suit and holds her helmet for a photo

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Just spent day reading about the collapse of the British car industry.

The lack of vision, the managerial incompetence, the strategic insularity, the complacent reliance on ‘world-class’ marques, the constant short-termism, bad labour relations.

And I thought: yup, there go our universities too.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...

But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this
