"Labour backbenchers don't want to be the party taking migrant's jewellery, or stopping them becoming part of a community."

Shabana Mahmood's migrant plans have angered some Labour MPs – but has found support in political rivals, including Tommy Robinson

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

She didn't even have to tell the story... we felt every. fucking. word.

Trump needs to get impeached ASAP AND PUT IN PRISON.
We need to get rid of Trump ASAP.

Don’t forget that 300,000 kids went missing under his first presidency when he was deporting their parents who were illegal ...

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system

1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK

2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc

3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

This is a disastrous move. RTE's documentary-makers in both radio and TV are held in very high esteem all over the globe, and to shutter the in-house TV unit is as stupid as it is short-sighted.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I'm getting really really fed up at constant reassertion that welfare spending is "out of control" when it is the same as the average for the past few decades.

One reason disability benefit costs have risen is because core support has fallen.

We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thrive…

But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldn’t own, called it scarcity

…and sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

Feel the power.

And let it transport you to another time, when Ireland was mostly a wild rainforest, with lynx, boar, wolves, bears...

Then imagine bringing just a little of that back. We can do it. #Rewilding
