Text on image discussing the Dublin Agreement and its implications before and after Brexit. It explains how the agreement allowed the UK to return asylum seekers to other EU countries where they first claimed asylum and notes the changes in policy following Brexit, emphasizing the lack of automatic rights to return individuals. The text concludes with a warning about misconceptions regarding stopping boat crossings.

Does anyone remember that during the Brexit campaign, one of Nigel Farage’s arguments for leaving the European Union was to allow the UK to adopt a fairer immigration system for Commonwealth citizens?

Now he’s saying they shouldn’t be allowed to vote proving yet again the sort of country he wants.

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Very obviously but if you said this ten years ago, you got wall-to-wall screaming and finger-pointing for being divisive, insulting, ideologically purist and tribalistic. But it was plainly horrible National Front stuff then, just as it is now.

If only there was something going on in the world that suggested generating our own energy rather than importing hydrocarbons to burn was a more resilient choice.

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

When the media is that which prioritises normalising them, such as that owned by foreign wealth and oligarchy on whose behalf Farage is working, it's to be expected.

When it's publicly-funded, 'impartial' media such as Gibb's Reform-friendly BBC, it shouldn't be.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

Farage and Reform are bad losers.

Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place.

68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem.

Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.
