Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave.

What next? Concentration camps, badge to replace the Star of David, atrocities.

First non-white people. Who will be next?

Will history repeat itself?

Prozess gegen die Letzte Generation: β€žDie Vorgehensweise ist feigeβ€œ Eine UN-Sonderberichterstatterin kritisiert die VorwΓΌrfe gegen die Letzte Generation. Sie warnt vor β€žKipppunktenβ€œ in der Kriminalisierung von Protest.

Mehr #Klimakatastrophe = mehr Repression vs. Klimaaktivisti:

"In den letzten Jahren hat sich die UnterdrΓΌckung (von Klimaaktivismus) erheblich verschΓ€rft. Regierungen setzen Klimaaktivismus fΓ€lschlicherweise mit KriminalitΓ€t oder mit Terrorismus gleich."

I just want to say, very clearly, I am pleased the Greens printed election leaflets in Urdu. Unlike the Mail, I think democracy benefits when voters are well informed.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯

A victory for decency, reason, empathy, equality, and justice is a victory for these things everywhere.

As with Mamdani in New York, the Gorton and Denton result provides inspiration, and shows we *can* build a better world, wherever we are.

Great news from the UK πŸ‘

unfortunately scientists in major universities believe in it, or claim to, and they use it as a reason to keep working with the fossil fuel industry.

What you have to understand is that Carbon Capture and Storage is driven not by environmental concerns but by fossil fuel industry demands. It provides both a new revenue stream (at our expense) and the mother of all greenwashing schemes. Whether it works or not (it doesn't) is entirely irrelevant.

'UK has been colonised by immigrants', says INEOS boss and Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe In an interview with Sky News's Ed Conway, Sir Jim says Britain faces profound political, social and economic challenges, among them an unprecedented rise in immigration in recent years.

This is despicable, and comes from a man who regularly prefers to employ temporary foreign workers
