Starmer to end asylum β€˜golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call β€˜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...

I can believe it because this is not the real labour party. Only one that appeases the far right and big business.

This is thinly disguised homophobia by Farage.

The same far-right figures who have spent years coming for my trans friends & colleagues are emboldened again against anything different from their "normal."

Today and everyday I stand with the whole LGBTQIA+ community.

Your struggle is my struggle.

This government could have taken on the super-rich to tackle inequality.

They chose to fan the flames of racism and embolden the far-right instead.

Our country needs a change in direction, now.

It’s time for a real alternative that redistributes wealth, ownership and power.

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality.

We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

Yesterday they marched to "send them back" & the government is deperate to show they're listening.

On Wednesday we have to take back the narrative - because a government that bows down to Trump & racists, opens the door to fascism, too.

Look what we found in a box at work. A gorgeous bat (not sure on species). After a little rest outside, it flew away back into the wild.

The proscription of Palestine Action, alongside other petulant oppressive behaviour, has turned our country into an authoritarian tragicomic farce in the eyes of the world.

β€˜We have to tell an alternative story’: Green leader Polanski chats to Nigel Farage’s constituents Visit to Clacton-on-Sea part of social media strategy that Zack Polanski feels can rebut Reform’s rhetoric

People are exhausted.

Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved.

Blaming migrants won’t fix this.

Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services.

Labour Is Paving the Path to Fascism As Labour embraces anti-migrant rhetoric, Jeremy Corbyn argues that the government is demonising vulnerable people to distract from its domestic failures.

Labour could have made the case for a humane immigration system that treats refugees with dignity and respect.

Instead, they have fanned the flames of racism and emboldened the far-right.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children.

They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

The Davis Downside Dossier David Davis famously said there would be no downsides to Brexit only considerable upsides - so we started recording them.

I'm still stunned that @yorkshirebylines.co.uk put in the huge effort to collect all press-reported downsides of Brexit (David Davis had said there would be "none"!)...

...and has the sheer patience to collect 2,000 discrete incidences via media reports before giving up.

Is the BBC now the official mouthpiece for Reform? A study of the BBC’s Question Time has raised concerns about representation and political impartiality

Is the BBC Reform UK's mouthpiece? Yup.

"Researchers at Cardiff University have produced a detailed analysis of every episode of the BBC’s flagship Question Time programme broadcast between September 2014 and July 2023 to see if the broadcaster was balancing political viewpoints."
