I've now just read your article today in @theipaper.com -
By cowering to enemies, BBC dismisses its backers.
I bieve appeasement of the right-wing doesn't work. Labour are too timid.
You should get another prize for this one!

Thank you so much

Opinion | We are understandably fixated on faithless men, male violence, propaganda disseminated by hard men influencers and on rape and murder statistics. All that is real and disturbing. But it’s only part of the story

Opinion | White power once again exerts control over brown subjects. To the new colonial representatives, Palestinian lives and voices don’t really matter

Thank you

“You know what the difference is.”

Here’s the source for the Farage quote that Yasmin Alibhai Brown @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social mentioned… on why his German wife was different to a hypothetical Romanian neighbour.

🚨 Just a reminder, this was *The Sun* calling out his racism.

Angela Rayner's second act Why the country still needs her voice and why Labour no longer needs a deputy leader.

Lovely and wise words from @tomwatsonofficial.bsky.social about Angela Rayner

Good interview with @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social on Sky News. Rightly called out the constant questions about Farage and Labour ministers failing the people of Gaza.

I appeared on ‘Any Questions’ – and it revealed the truth about immigration protests — The i Paper The show was lively… but not in the way I’d expected

I couldn’t agree more @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social. I so wish the media spent as much time and energy reporting about the general public who aren’t racist and/or fascists. I’d like to think we’re still in the majority.

Interesting new Reform policy of Kindertransport in reverse: take children from a place of safety and send them back towards tyranny and despotism.

They're all heart.

This is all becoming very dangerous and the Government's failure to show any kind of resistance to it is a disgrace www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

A reminder: Asylum seekers are in hotels because of a huge application backlog that the gov't must work through. Robert Jenrick - now, bursting with creative solutions - processed applications slowly ***on purpose*** as a deterrent.

Here he is, as Immigration Minister two years ago, saying so. ~AA

Migrants can't answer back.

They have no voice.

So they make the perfect scapegoat for the pent-up rage of the angry, self-loathing far right who can unite around this issue.

In addition it gives the media something to write about in the long summer recess.

That is what is really going on here.

On @BBCAnyQuestions tonight. With Rees Mogg. We come from different worlds. Should be spiky.

@thetrawl.bsky.social Anyone else wondering how Yasmin is keeping her dignity next to this man this morning? Well done for keeping your cool @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social @marina-purkiss.bsky.social @jemmaforte.bsky.social

Well worth reading (and reposting) here... on how easy it is to become a racist.
