Ashamed to say I voted for these people.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Will never make that mistake again.

And why call it 'golden ticket'?

Disgraceful language. These people have lost everything. Should they also lose their spouses and children?

A reminder that last year 4,671 family reunion visas were granted.

4,671.

Does anyone think this number is a major problem for the UK economy and society?

Join the Green Party y’all 💚

But they have to now take the dangerous irregular route to get here and prove it

This isn't Labour, it's not what I voted for, don't recognise this.

Didn’t expect much from Labour, but thought they’d be better than the Tories. So disappointed!

Fuck you

He calls Nigel Farage racist and then does literally all the same things but wearing a red tie.

I volunteer at my local refugee charity, dealing with people who have been through unbelievable trauma. The one thing that sustains them is the knowledge that some day, they will be reunited with their loved ones. This cruel proposal guarantees more deaths of women and children in the Channel.

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

So if I’ve grasped the galaxy-brained strategy here, it’s:
✅ Day 1: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer
✅ Day 2: tell target voters their ideas are racist
✅ Day 3: reassure target voters that migrants are a problem & you’re ready to make them suffer

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Foreigners underrepresented among prisoners in England and Wales, report finds Analysis finds lower proportion of foreign inmates than would be expected if they were jailed at same rate as UK citizens of same age

Zack Polanski: “We absolutely need to stop the boats” The Greens’ Zack Polanski on facing up to Reform

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.*

Telegraph admits article by Conservative immigration spokeperson Katie Lam used entirely fictional stats from Centre for Policy Studies (no, *not* the £234 bn, different ones!).

Publishes entirely inadequate correction which still makes false claims about migrant wages.

Met officers suspended over alleged abuse of suspects and support for Tommy Robinson BBC’s Panorama to broadcast allegations about Charing Cross station after sending evidence to police chiefs

Abuse of detainees amounting to “disgraceful, criminal misconduct”, racist & misogynist comments, & support for Tommy Robinson…

The good old institutionally racist, sexist & homophobic Met that keeps Londoners safe is in fine form I see. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It’s rather tragic watching Labour bang on about ‘fighting’ Reform whilst by their policies tickling Reform’s tummy.

Was good to have a serious conversation about the rise of fascism & the Brexit dynamics that have twisted our immigration system, as well as cowardice from our media & our leaders on migration.

More of this pls people. It doesn't take long to send in a complaint.

This is pretty damn good though for what it’s worth 😊

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will.

But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

You should have a word with your home secretary mate she’s introducing free forced labour for migrants

Genuine reflection from Labour conference. The leadership is massively out of step with its own members and civil society. It’s giving pigheaded. The mood was low,few people impressed or confident in the current vision. The May elections will punish Starmerism and we’ll all be worse off for it.

New! Cassetteboy vs Keir Starmer.

This took absolutely ages, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee at ko-fi.com/cassetteboy we'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

So insightful & inspiring! Busting myths & misinformation about migration, cause & effect, failure of politicians & MSM, 3 ideas to improve UK system dramatically, the tipping point is now, each of us doing something to push back & collectively draw the line against fascism. This far & no more! ✊

“The system [for identifying victims of modern slavery] is not being abused. Instead, it is very heavily gamed against recognition and (very limited) protections for people who have been subject to horrific abuses.”

One of my favourite conversations I've had in a while.
Really getting into what's wrong in the current moment, what the facts are that are being obscured by racism & lies, and what we should be doing about it

Do check it out!
