UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers Zero hours contracts, unfair โ€˜fire and rehireโ€™, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits โ€“ the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. Itโ€™s billionaire bosse...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

We remain standing in solidarity with the Jewish community. We remain standing against ALL racial and religious based hate.

I am shocked and appalled by the attack on a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day for the Jewish community.

My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and everyone affected.

Just showing how weak and performative they are.

The right see it as too little too late.

And the rest of us with sense ๐Ÿ˜’ see it as an affront to ALL Labour supposedly stood for.

Enabling the far right never works out well for anyone. Would've thought Labour would've known that...๐Ÿ˜ฌ

BBC again encourages hate and uses one-off cases to rage bait.

Then, it wonders why migrants and POCs are scared or that the far right are gaining dangerous momentum ๐Ÿ™„

When will the media in this country realise THEY are contributing to the division and scaremongering??

Reform plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain for migrants The party says scrapping the scheme and restricting migrant access to benefits will save hundreds of billions of pounds.

Why is the BBC giving this racist, xenophobic, bigot airtime??

BBC, is this neutrality?? Giving a minor party constant prime press??

Then you wonder why the far right has been emboldened or why POCs are increasingly being targeted??

Our consistent kissing up to #DonaldTrump is ๐Ÿคข

An autocrat who spreads hate, enables genocide, and relishes bigotry.

But who cares?! Not Keir ๐Ÿคช That's for sure.

Let's just bend over backwards and give him the keys to Buckingham Palace while we're at it๐Ÿฅฐ

Conservatives: Free speech is the most important thing! Who cares about the historical or social context?! It's my right!

Anyone else: *words*

Conservatives: YOU'RE STIRRING UP HATE AND DIVISION! HOW DARE YOU?! HE WAS A MARTYR! YOU SHOULD NEVER WORK OR BE ALLOWED IN PUBLIC EVER AGAIN!

The British Empire is further celebrated as being the guiding light that enabled countries to form.

Schools are told not to focus so much on teaching only on 'how bad' slavery and colonialism were...

Silence truly is violence.

When Nigel Farage is elected.

Border Force is further militarised.

Migrants are arbitrarily detained and deported.

The army is sent in to 'protect' communities.

British media is casually and consistently platforming racists & xenophobes.

Condemning a genocide can get you arrested.

We have to ask ourselves:

If we don't speak out, then when?

'Making a statement is too political'

One of the largest social media platforms is run by an alleged white supremacist.

Hundreds of thousands of far-right supporters (some with kids!) marched on the capital.

The British media MUST take this seriously and stop platforming racists and bigots everyday ๐Ÿ™„

We must ALL play our part to stop this rise of the far right and movement towards fascism.

Our voice, our actions can still make a difference.

Our country is unwell.

And the longer our gov. enables hate and tries to justify xenophobia and racism... The stronger the far right becomes.

'Tommy Robinson New Era' is trending. Keir Starmer's government MUST take this seriously.

Tommy Robinson and his legion of far right bigots can proudly strut around London. Encouraging far-right myths and blatant racism.

...But a group calling for an end to a genocide is the problem... ๐Ÿค”

We definitely can get out of it, but we need a better mix:

Active political will+ Right wing & 'Neutral'๐Ÿ˜’ media not legitimising hatred+ Community action and empowerment= a Britain for *EVERYONE*

Without this, we're sleepwalking into fascism.

Anyone else notice that the #BBCNews are *LOVING* the views for Farage's hateful rhetoric, so are platforming every bit of bigotry he utters?

How is this neutral?

Just say he's got the BBC's vote and be done with it๐Ÿ˜’

'Israel also denies there is starvation in the territory, in direct contradiction to what more than 100 humanitarian groups, witnesses on the ground, and multiple UN bodies say.'

Oh, the #BBC is finally realising that Israel often LIES.

The Telegraph has no shame.

To publish something that incites hatred, division, racism and xenophobia, #TheTelegraph really has lost all editorial integrity.

Is clout really worth enabling the #FarRight? Or starting another load of #RaceRiots?

Anyone else concerned about how giddy, open, and excited people look while 'protesting' the hotels?

There is no shame.

They don't cover their faces.

Rather, they take pride in dehumanising asylum seekers, inciting fear, and enabling the #FarRight.
