Families of Palestine Action hunger strikers seek urgent meeting with Lammy Justice secretary urged to ‘show a bit of humanity’ with protesters severely ill after refusing food for weeks

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become?

We didn't dream it! 😡💥
The respectful way Keir Starmer talked about foreign workers when he was running for Labour leader is the exact OPPOSITE of the Farage-cloned way he talks about them now. But to see it here in black & white is still SHOCKING!

UK risks becoming ‘island of strangers’ without more immigration curbs, Starmer says PM unveils policies to ‘significantly’ drive down net migration including English tests and degree requirements

Yvette Cooper repeatedly refused to give a straight answer just now on Today to straight Q “Will councils get more money to pay care workers more?” She repeatedly committed to higher carer pay but wouldn’t commit to money so councils can fund it. Think that speaks volumes about the mess we are in.

Did Nigel Farage write this speech?

Dehumanising and divisive. We deserve better than this.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

A good rule of thumb: if Jacqui Smith says you’re wrong, you’re probably right.

P.S. She voted for the illegal Iraq war — that killed more than a million people.

It’s not hyperbolic to say that the proposed disability benefits cuts will cost lives.

This week, I met with young disabled people who are terrified that they will be driven to homelessness and even suicide.

Our government must do the right thing and reverse this policy.

How to make people care about migrant deaths – and prevent them from happening We will not save lives until we acknowledge those already lost, writes Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East. That means confronting the number of deaths in our asylum system – and recording t...

I've also written a longer opinion piece on the amendment in the @the-independent.com:

Major law change demanded to shed light on Channel and asylum deaths MPs have called for the Home Office to have a legal duty to announce the number of deaths in the asylum system and in the Channel during small boat crossings

We know people seeking safety are dying in the Channel, in asylum accommodation and on the street. But we don't know how many.

The Home Office should be required to report on these deaths.

In the Daily Mirror, I discuss my amendment to make this law.

@hallamfc1860.bsky.social announced match attendance of 2613 last night can't be right, surely? Most of the lower south stand seemed full

It’s all beginning to feel a bit 1984. We’re in a battle against autocrats and oligarchs who are using money and misinformation to dismantle democracies. That’s why we’re looking for 1,984 new monthly supporters to make our biggest and boldest plans a reality (see link in bio)

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Nigel Farage says first thing he would do as PM if he won a GE would be to remove UK from the ECHR

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights

That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK.

Planning bill ‘throws environmental protection to the wind’, say UK nature chiefs Heads of 32 charities warn proposals could push species towards extinction and lead to irreversible habitat loss

Ministers should listen to a powerful message from 32 nature organisations: the Planning Bill rides roughshod over nature protection, could push species towards extinction & cause greater loss of precious green space. Nature & development can go hand in hand - but this one-sided Bill isn’t the way
