The Hostile Environment 2.0 Patch Update Labourโ€™s asylum policy proves they fear the far-right more than they trust their own values.

When Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka. Tommy Robinson, aka. Tiny-Tommeh-Ten-Names) treats your policy announcement as a win, you must realise that things have gone sideways in a pretty significant way? Or is that just me?

A post on the Hostile Environment 2.0 asking:

Why is Labour doing this?

Norway has a population of 5.6 million
Scotland has a population of 5.4 million
Westminster tells you that you are too small and too stupid to make it on your own.
(Maybe Westminster has a point about the stupid part as many Scots seem to believe them).

An Island of Strangers, Led by a Party of Strangers A Labour government with a historic majority has somehow decided the best way to beat the far right is to imitate its homework. Badly.

At some point we have to stop pretending that Labourโ€™s constant rightward drift is โ€œgrown-up politicsโ€ and call it out for what it is - governing by flinch.

And if pointing this out gets me into trouble - then trouble can pull up a chair.

It's disgraceful that Nigel Farage is egging Donald Trump on as he attacks the BBC and tries to pick pockets of millions of licence fee payers.

Not made any sales this weekend so far. Fingers crossed for tonight & tomorrow, but it's looking like a quiet Christmas.
I am sure I will see some UK buyers in December, but I'm usually very busy in November with US orders, they are not happening this year, despite art being exempt from tariffs๐Ÿ˜”

If I came from a family that has held a seat in House of Lords for 7 generations and used it to protect their vast empire from Tax and Inheritance Tax.

I probably wouldn't be complaining about free bus passes for Senior Citizens.

You'd look ridiculous.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from ยฃ7.5K to just ยฃ3K per child & even worse - these changes were introduced by the government without consultation, warning and no evidence base

Trumplethinskin Goes After the BBC - Because Facts Keep Hurting His Feelings The man who demanded people "fight like hell" now insists the real injury was a slightly compressed quote on Panorama.

GB News hosting Trumplethinskin so he can have a fannywobble about Panorama is the most utterly deranged media crossover of the year and is absolutely peak 2025.

Why should Scotland follow poor English examples and pay billions for nuclear? PRIME Minister Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar this week made further statements in support of more nuclear power in Scotland ...

'Each year, new #renewables add 200 times more global electricity than new #nuclear.
New nuclear in #Scotland would mean massive costs, a poisoned legacy to future generation and yet more radioactive pollution of our air and seas.'
