Here’s the truth about Britain’s immigration hysteria: Starmer and co have whipped it up to get cheap votes | Nesrine Malik He is part of a political establishment that is fuelling a crisis way beyond the point that they can ever be seen to solve it. It’s a cynical, idiotic doom loop, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

The minimum qualifications for joining the MET need looking at…

I think Labour’s problem is that, as power has shifted to technocrats over recent decades, its ambitions have shrunk to chasing populist policies shaped by an algorithmically skewed version of public opinion, one amplified by rage-bait rather than grounded in reality.

Police arrest 474 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Number of arrests was highest recorded in relation to single operation in at least past decade, according to Met police

An abomination. An affront to free speech and an acute threat to the consensus on terrorism

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Screenshot of BBC news saying police arrest 474 people at Palestine Action ban protest.

What an utter absurdity our Home Secretary has created -

Destroying British free speech, right to protest and with it undermining democracy.

It is not for the government to terrorise the public for political opinions they don’t want to hear.

Why Labour are still unwilling to use the consequences of Brexit - both on migration and UK Govt finances/cuts - against Farage and the populist right is beyond me.

Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper must really be proud of arresting an old woman - free speech at it's finest in Labour's Brexit Britain

The official UK Prime Minister Twitter account has posted 6 tweets so far in August.

All 6 have been about immigration.

Every one of them could have been authored by our next government, Reform.

Ludicrous levels of validation.

Shame on Labour for putting our police in this position

I thought Palestine Action were fucking stupid painting (& therefore disabling) military airplanes.

But I also think making this a “terrorist offence” is also fucking stupid.

Can’t believe how fucking stupid.

Police arrest 466 people at protest over Palestine Action ban in London Met officers and other UK forces form ‘significant presence’ in largest protest since group was proscribed as terrorist organisation

Labour, tough on dissent, not so tough on the cause of dissent.

By contrast, the government is far more relaxed about the harassment and intimidation of immigrants in hotels.

How does a group become proscribed as terrorist when no one has been terrorised?

Keir Starmer is the midwife of a Reform government. His greatest gift? Pissing people off with mainstream politics.

Netanyahu is threatening to sue the NY Times for posting this picture of a boy with cerebal palsy who Netanyahu is starving to death.

But don't spread it you wouldn't want to upset Netanyahu.

Would you?

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy How Reeves could raise £15 billion without hurting working people

How Reeves could raise £15 billion without hurting working people youtu.be/f26kOz28Hjg?... Unearned income—like dividends, rents, and capital gains—escapes the tax burden workers face. In this video, I argue it’s time for economic fairness and tax justice.

'She did nothing illegal' is not the same as 'she did nothing wrong' despite her supporters' ridiculous attempts to blur the difference.

In my opinion, buy-to-let is exploitation. Getting some poor sap, either the tenant or the taxpayer through housing benefit, to pay your mortgage so you can retire rich.

The Guardian opinion headline reads: “Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course” by Ed Davey.

Brexit isn’t working, and the British people know it. They're fed up with the damage caused by the deal forced on us by Conservative party.

Keir Starmer must show some courage and set Britain on a clear path to a new customs union with the EU by 2030.

Brexit has been a resounding disaster. Starmer must find the courage to change course | Ed Davey Poll after poll shows most voters think leaving the EU has been a failure. Closer ties with Europe would bring huge rewards, says Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey

"The way to see off the populist right isn’t to cower in its shadow; it’s to step up and offer a compelling, positive alternative."

What would Elon Musk know about democracy?

Who would vote for a politician who turns their back on their heritage?

We live in a world where if an imaginary immigrant or disabled person might be stealing a penny they won't shut up about it.

But when a billionaire steals billions it is great.

The final solution to the Palestinian question.
