Zia Yusuf is one of the "pull up the ladder" anti-immigrants. He talks about how his parents came over, yet wants to severely limit other people from benefiting from making a good life in this country.

He can go fuck himself.

Was that trophy found on Epstein's island?

Seems a bit harsh on Daisy Cooper.

The 32 team format worked just fine. Essentially adding in 16 teams who have next to no chance of progressing, let alone winning it is pointless.

Absolutely hate the showbiz draw, give me the FA Cup balls in a bag any day.

And the pricing out of ordinary fans is sickening.

He actually makes me miss Blatter.

Just reading up on what's happening at the FIFA World Cup draw today. Good god, just have a quick and simple draw like the FA Cup please?

I don't like all of this showbiz shit before, during and after football tournament draws.

But finally to the two who spoke the most sense.

@libdemdaisy.bsky.social bringing out the fantastic stats to shut down the racist arguments from Reform.

And @zackpolanski.bsky.social for having compassion for people and for highlighting that we still need to debate the rich and cost of living.

Zia Yusuf showing all he can do is smirk, insult people (including the audience) and not listen, Fiona Bruce saying they always talk about cost of living so why have a special, during a special on the most talked about subject on Question Time, was odd.

Labour and Tory MPs are just totally bland.

I love @zackpolanski.bsky.social talking about why we're less integrated is because places where we could do things together as a community no longer exist because they get cut.

The Tories cut and cut and cut, and then sell off anything profitable so future generations lose government income.

Onto the question about uniting the divisions over immigration.

The teacher who raised this question whose family moved here after WW2 doesn't always feel like he's accepted in our society. That's a failure in our society.

A question to the racists...why do your feelings matter more than his?

Kieran Mullan of the useless Tories saying we need to stop saying immigration is just good or just bad.

Given he's just been insulting illegal immigrants I can't take him seriously.

Also, I'd imagine there are more good immigrants than there are good Tory MPs, so he can STFU.

They want more homegrown staff, but who is going to do that for the dire pay they receive?

The reason why immigration has been successful across the care sector and the NHS is because they're grateful for even a minimum wage job.

If Reform bin them off, not even the private sector will save them.

Zia Yusuf being rude to a man in the audience. Good god he's so bad at this.

He speaks slowly and clearly, but he spouts nonsense and is just so rude.

But I will tackle a problem that Reform will create in the next post as I need the whole thing.

Onto the next question about whether cutting immigration will harm public services.

Zia Yusuf has the fucking nerve to claim someone's question includes a lie which has been used to gaslight the British people is quite extraordinary, given all his party ever does is gaslight us.

This show is like a bingo card of good arguments too. Woman in the audience who mentions if the roles were reversed. She's exactly right, we need to show some humanity and some compassion, because if we're ever a war torn country, we'll want to flee and will want to be welcomed, not dehumanised.

Now the man who came across in a small boat just taking on that absolutely useless Tory (I know, which one?) on leaving the ECHR.

It doesn't just affect the immigrants, it'll affect all working class people. It protects us against unfair dismissal and unsafe working conditions.

And @libdemdaisy.bsky.social again bringing out some amazing knowledge with the number of times the ECHR has actually interfered with a judgement.

Since 1980 the ECHR has only ruled against the UK 13 times on removal cases.

Back to @libdemdaisy.bsky.social again as she brilliantly talks about processing the claims. This is one of the biggest problems we've got.

But also, if we provide safe, legal routes for people to claim asylum, the boats will actually stop, because they won't need to do the dangerous crossings.

Zia Yusuf says that the number who have arrived since 2019 is more than those who landed on the beach in Normandy in World War II.

For some context, the population of the world in 1944 was a bit over a quarter of what it is today. So he is shit stirring as always with disingenuous facts.

Zia Yusuf on Question Time is an absolute arsehole.

On the channel crossings, he just shows he doesn't care. He doesn't care what your circumstances are, if you're illegal, you're gone.

Well done to @libdemdaisy.bsky.social for explaining why it is the men coming across first.

Fiona saying they don't need a cost of living special as they talk about it every week while hosting the immigration special, which they talk about every week, is quite frankly an absurd response.

Not sure Adolf and Benito will care about journalists tbh.

In other news, Hitler denies saying anything antisemitic 'with malice'.

You're right, who cares? As long as they can speak English, I don't care if it's their second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth language etc.

Racists wonder why the immigrants don't integrate (they do), but why would people want to integrate with people who hate on them for no reason?

That's exactly what it is. Exhausting. But is that partly why they're doing it? They want everyone against them to get exhausted and give up the fight.

We're certainly not down and out, but crucially, we need to stop gifting the teams around us 3 points when we play them.

I'd rather we beat the teams around us to stop them picking up points and losing to the top teams than the other way around.

Struggling to appease the far right? Where have I heard that before? Oh that's right, it was the failed appeasement of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

Pretty sure that ended up horrifically.

I can't get over "Soviet Britain" 🤣🤣🤣

Not sure a country where Private Equity Firms have so much power should be described as "Soviet", "Socialist" or "Communist".

Surely the men of the people aren't living out in big expensive houses?! I thought they were slumming it out with the rest of us!

I agree.

Also an estate agent might value it at £2m, but if you try and sell it and it doesn't sell for £2m, then surely you can challenge the valuation?
