Desperate to pander to people who'd never even vote for them while disgusting those who once did.

Too many trade union leaders are part of the problem.

The people undermining labour are the cabinet.
We need to destroy labour and replace it with a left wing party that opposes not appeases racists.

I grew up in the 70s and saw the openly racist National Front grow in popularity.
This feels worse as the two mainstream parties are going along with it.
In the 70s, even Thatcher spoke against the racists.

Sign the Petition Nominate Francesca Albanese for Nobel Peace Prize

Help spread this around if you would. She deserves it for her tireless advocacy of behalf of Palestinians. And to stick it to the fascists knuckle draggers who are supporting genocide. Thanks.

They've also reported the claims of reform candidates as facts rather than checking the truth and reporting it.

The Centre for Migration Control?

A β€œThink Tank” ran seemingly by one guy called Robert Bates, a Senior Reform Campaigner in the Channel 4 Documentary released last year β€˜Undercover inside Reform’s campaign’.

His data is wrong and purposely misleading.

I knew it was awful when Home Sec used the 'France is a safe country rhetoric.' Starmer's government is sinking lower every day. Scum.

When the Home Secretary is repeating the far-right, "France is a safe country" mantra, you know the country is on the slide.

A flyer advertising a counter protest Saturday Aug 9th 12 noon 210 links road Aberdeen.

This weekend the fash turned up in Aberdeen to harass a bunch of new Scots.

They said they would be back next week. We said not in our city.

Most of us recognised the claim that it was immigration status they were concerned about, as the thinly veiled racism it was.
They just want an excuse to attack Black and brown people.
