This is a key table to understanding public opinion on migration. *When confronted with the real trade offs* people go for protecting the NHS and the economy over reducing migration.
The problem as per the rest of the thread is many don't believe those trade offs exist.

The Home Secretary says โThis isnโt about Palestine.โ
But everyone can see the truth.
Theyโre arming a genocide and criminalising those who speak out.
This is how fascism begins.
We must stand up. For Palestine. For all our rights. For democracy.

Clashing visions: Chowns, running with Adrian Ramsay in a co-leadershp bid, told the audience of about 100 Brighton greens that her party should aim for broad electoral appeal, while Polanskis conveyed a forceful economic inequality-focused message. Polanski got the better reception from those in the room, according to my colleagues' trained ears.
I'm loving all of these debates about the future of our party - and the seriously energised people I'm meeting all over England & Wales.

At some point people are going to have to realise that, as we keep saying, anti-trans activists don't want to see trans people in public. They've moved from hassling individual trans people online to targeting employers who employ trans people (The NHS in Fife and Darlington and now M&S)

This thread. Yup. It's ALL just about demonising trans women and thinking that if society just makes transition unpleasant enough trans people will cease to exist.
People who are otherwise allies but "just have some concerns" about women's sports are being lied to. It's bigotry all the way down.

The normalisation of transphobia, and the extent of the dehumanisation of transgender people in this country is absolutely sickening.
Itโs hideous. Itโs shameful. England has become a sewer.

Ignorance is much, much more than a lack of knowledge. Ignorance is actively produced. Look at everything produced by the media, and now governments, about trans people in the last decade or more.

This is a very good response.
Labour has supplied weapons, intel, diplomatic, political, rhetorical and economic support to Netanyahuโs genocide in Gaza which has cost thousands of innocent lives, including those of at least 20,000 children.
They have no right to complain about smashed windows.

When I asked one of the protestors about the damage to Wes' office.
One of them gave me the answer that Labour is already complicit in Israel's war crimes so has no legs to stand on when complaining about the damage to the glass.
And I was thinking that their response was absolutely spot on.

Polanski said trans rights are human rights. We have to be actively anti racist. We also have to take on transphobia and be actively anti transphobic. Trans men are men, trans women are women and non binary identities exist. Lets make sure we actively defend trans people...because they need it right now.
So good to be in Brighton tonight for our South East Hustings.
We need to tackle inequality and take the fight to Reform.
All while keeping solidarity to the people who need us to show up for them.
That's what the Green Party stands for.

What would a Reform UK government mean for the UK economy?
What happens if Reform UK takes power? The economy might implode before their manifesto reaches final draft
The next election is years away. But itโs not too early to ask:
What would a Reform UK government actually do to the economy?
Martin Waller's thought experiment is grim โ and entirely plausible.

This is a surprisingly strident editorial (for a UK paper) eviscerating the appointment of Dr Stephenson as the new EHRC Chair.
Though things will obviously get worse before they get better, one can glimpse hope that this is *so* egregious, there's no option but for it to fail.
