Defence of Labour asylum policy reveals backsliding on racism Home secretary’s framing of failures is partly low politics, but also a result of ministers’ poor approach to race relations

Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."

But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

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

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Surely this is incitement? Surely this is stirring racial hatred?

Why isn't Alison Pearson being charged with offences for deliberately spreading dangerous lies about minority groups?

lmaooooo

A statement saying both that they haven't decided their policy on indy yet and that they're the only ones who'd deliver it correctly at the same time is actually ridiculous

Absolutely stonking Plaid win in Caerphilly: as I understand what by-elections mean, Labour will now have to back Welsh Independence and a bunch of left wing policies in order to win back support, right? Or is it only when they lose narrowly to the fash they take up their policies?

Trump Says He Will Not Seek Authorization for Cartel Strikes

What is the Times doing calling this extrajudicial murder spree “cartel strikes”? On what evidence do they ape the killers’ propaganda?

The man whose presence might lead to Tel Aviv football fans being “falsely associated with his far-right activities,” has just visited Tel Aviv as an honoured guest of the Israeli government. Riddle me that.

Looks like Maccabi have saved the UK government from the spectacle of somehow overturning an expert public safety assessment.

Either politicians make public safety at sports stadiums an absolute priority or they do not.

Well done Starmer, you played another political blinder.

This is who the centrist commentators and “grown ups in the room” MPs are jumping in to defend btw.

I think this language of "crying racism" is generating "legitimate concerns" about tone at a time of a visible surge in real world racism, not just online racism, and big attempts to shift the boundaries on who is English, on how far remigration goes into settled migrants and UK-born minorities

Apologies, that was a ridiculously overblown reaction that I shouldn’t have sent hence quickly deleted. But equally I don’t agree with your take and I’ll leave it at that

You will note how some proscribed groups are violently suppressed by the state with definitions broad enough to encompass pensioners and disabled people holding signs, while other proscribed groups are apparently free to operate in the open and ‘have a word with themselves’ over assaulting women.

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

Unless the government introduces PR, there will be a far right government in power in 2029. And like the compliant liberals they always were, the Labour party are building the administrative tools to help those fascists round you and your friends up for deportation. Frightening.

We’re about 6 months and 3 Supreme Court cases away

hello I am a deeply unpopular prime minister. In a last gasp attempt to save my own skin my big idea is to launch the least popular policy of an also deeply unpopular predecessor. I am forensic.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I mean frankly you already do - Labour in Fife are now entirely reliant on Reform and you’ve happily gone along with that and every other de facto unionist alliance council

Aviation expansion is a disaster for the climate crisis.

Anyone who's been paying any attention to this shambles of a Labour Govenrment knows they don't care about people in poverty, don't care about nature nor for the planet.

Just big business & their own interests.

This article significantly undersells the extent to which the racists were outnumbered and outsung and, ultimately, the total victory of the anti-fascists.

The right has never supported freedom of speech. Ever. Anyone who believed they did is not fit to have an opinion on politics.

This would be about Donald Trump's right not to be upset or offended by the truth. That is not the intent or purpose of the malicious communications act. I am struggling to get the police to bother with actually unlawful racist harassment though.
