I mean, if the sun told me it was raining I would definitely still check outside.

But HOW are Labour so bad at this*?

*waves hands at, well, basically everything.

BBC, Sky News reporting of this claim should contextualise it with the facts & ask the Home Office for the definition and evidence for "we are the destination of choice"

I don't think it's sticking my neck out very far to suggest that by "culturally coherent" they mean: ALL POSH & WHITE.

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

...and a partridge in a pear treeeee...

Bravo!

But this is the internet and therefore you must have opinions that are extreme and you are not allowed any nuance.

I do not make the rules.

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like-

-How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected?

-How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect?

I cannot remember.

100% this.

Just seems like an absolutely crazy thing to do.

And for what?

What can they "win" here?

The story of Chop is horrendous.

Not what anyone wants to see or hear but important to share.

Thank you and good on you for calling it out and not shying away.

😢💔

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

And no one seems to ask what they mean by "integrated".

Is everyone supposed to live the same life? Have the same likes, interests, hobbies etc.?

British.

🤣🤣🤣

It really is like the Sugababes

And reducing policy to slogans rather than actually explaining what things mean.

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨

😱Sounds outrageous?

You know the drill…

If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏

A little thread 🧵 to the strange "EAT CROW!" crowd, who seem to think every person left of Genghis Khan is incapable of giving credit to Trump and direct much of their triumphalism to this fictional group: Most people I know, who are critical of Trump, have given him credit for getting us here. 1/

Some changes to immigration rules today, not just increasing English language requirements, mean migrants looking to live and work in UK will have to meet far far higher standards than British nationals, while paying vast sums to be allowed to do so. That isn't a system based on "fairness". 1/

Honestly forgotten just how angry that smirking diseased scarecrow still makes me. Kneecapped the nation with Brexit, to get a job he refused to do, and got thousands killed. All while laughing at us.

“Disgraced Former” should be an officially recognised title, with sanctions and prison time.

1970's: CEOs earn 20 x more than average worker
2025: CEOs earn 122 x more than average worker
The richest 1% own 50% of entire country's wealth.

Obscene inequality has been normalised.

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train.

But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK.

Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

USE HEADPHONES ON THE TRAIN USE HEADPHONES ON THE TRAIN USE HEADPHONES ON THE TRAIN YOU SELFISH MOTHERFUCKER

my thought process right now is

I'm begging some journalists to ask Robert Jenrick, Nigel Farage et al what they mean when they say "integrated".

"hostages swapped like Panini football stickers, 20 Israelis for 1700 Palestinian detainees. Not entirely sure what the difference is, but I’m sure someone on TalkTV would be happy to shout it at me."

I’ve been saying this for ten years now but possibly not often enough: Ask Them What They Think The Words They’re Using Mean. And then ask them to name the ‘problematic’ people. We had ‘sovereignty’, ‘laws’ & ‘unelected bureaucrats’. The US now has ‘Antifa’, the ‘radical left’ & ‘insurrection’. Ask!

It was inevitable that “too many people speaking Polish” Brexitism would become outright “too many brown people”

And it’s what people like Gove, David Davis and Johnson enabled
