Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

Starmer to end asylum ‘golden ticket’ of resettlement and family reunion rights People granted asylum will have to earn right to invite family in plan charities call ‘straight from populist playbook’

Labour has a chance now to turn a corner and win support from people who want it to succeed. Or it can continue with this type of vicious populist filth and alienate everyone. It's your call guys.

Article every time for me.

So can we expect a 15 minute "exclusive" slot on the News at 10 or Newsnight reporting this article? I won't hold my breath.

Trump at the UN:

"I look at London where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law."

This is entirely false. London Mayor Sadiq Khan is politically moderate and has never ever called for Sharia law.

This is Islamophobic propaganda and a bigoted attack on Khan.

These people should remember that, in all likelihood, their ancestors were being accused of similar nonsense, in a city which has been shaped by wave upon wave of mass migration.

Thank providence for the people who fought back and ensured Liverpool remains a warm,welcoming place

Another so-called "Save Our Women and Children" gathering in Liverpool next Sunday. Many of the participants of this march are who our women and children need saving from 😡

I stand with Scouse Nans against Nazis, doing what our pandering media and politicians should be doing.

But hang on, haven't they all been cancell..... Oh, I see what you did there.

Schrödinger's ethnic minority Brit, in 2025...

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday.

I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

Post on Facebook by young white Nuneaton mum 22h Whilst I'm ranting we walked from bowling to middlemarch and saw this... a coach load of immigrants being lead into the back door of the holiday inn!!! Hang the flags high and realise that this isn't a joke!! I'll be at the next protest for sure!!! I'm not racist I'm a MOTHER!!!!!!!!! [Photo across carpark of Holiday Inn Nuneaton to where there is a white coach with its luggage storage partly open and a group of men standing nearby]

Zoom in on photo Coach looks quite plush, young men standing in a group at the rear

Facebook post: London Warriors Urban American Football Program 3h. Congratulations to the Bristol Aztecs who claimed their championship title today, unfortunately not going our way but we will rebuild and see them next year. We would also like to express our gratitude to Holiday Inn Express Nuneaton for the pleasant stay and allowing us to use their car park for walk thru preparation ahead of the game. Thank you for the continued support throughout our 2025 season and we will be back.

meanwhile, in Nuneaton

Aaaand they’ve just covered it up.

Which is just another layer of irony…

…given that this is state action against protest about state action against protest.

Chris Mason: Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before The conference feels like that of a big party - but retains the insurgency vibe that the party is seeking to channel.

If rampant nativism and the self-immolating Labour party do somehow conspire to put Farage's brownshirts in Number 10, this substanceless dross should become a case study in how the fourth estate comprehensively failed us all.

Reform UK is on the rise. Leader Nigel Farage hopes the Trump playbook can propel him to power Nigel Farage has made a bold pitch to his Reform UK party, echoing themes that helped Donald Trump rise to power.

This is an excellent Associated Press piece - both dispassionate and accurate.

Written for an American audience, it shows how slavishly #Farage has adopted #Trump tactics. The lies, exaggerations, incitement of the easily-led...

Please read, and even better, share! 👍🏻

We escaped war and torture but now we feel unsafe in Britain Special report: Amid protests and rising aggression towards asylum seekers across the country, we spoke to those being targeted

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred

I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

This is vile. Local guy speaks to Sky News about the impact of asylum seekers protests. Watch what happens and share widely

Labour are not learning the one lesson that’s destroying them.

Doing what the right wing want, does not appease the right wing or appeal the right wing voters, and trying to alienates everyone else.

It’s like they have a moron or infiltrator pulling the strings. Oh, they do, McSweeney.

Unless it's the Brexit one.

Sir, It is dispiriting that the government is involved in a race to the bottom with Reform UK, in refusing to allow refugees' families to join them in the UK ("Refugees to be stopped bringing in families", Sep 2). It is simply inhumane, and not what one would have expected of a Labour government. Robert Rhodes KC Outer Temple Chambers, London Sir, Was naivety or pretence the reason for the prime minister and home secretary praising flag-flying as patriotism yesterday ("Don't devalue flag, Starmer tells activists: 'We have one at home'", Sep 2)? Most of the flags have been put up at night by people wearing face coverings, and that tells you all you need to know about their intentions. We all know that anti-immigration sentiment is the reason behind the sudden display, and to pretend otherwise could be the downfall of this government. Keith Hayday Attenborough, Notts

Letters in The Times that sum up Labour’s deeply inadequate response to the perceived immigration ‘crisis’.
Cruelty as policy and performative patriotism to try to pacify (rather than challenge) the frothing right wing press and the baying racist mob.

It’s all just so gutless and wrong.

Enough Platitudes: Starmer Must Confront Racism With Courage, Not Flags The Far-Right is. Emboldened, Lies Go Unchallenged and Labour Looks Like Deer in Headlights. It's Past Time For Real Leadership

I want Keir Starmer to lead - to call out racism, not mutter about bunting.

To offer real refugee policy, not parrot Farage.

To show Britain is better than this.

Instead we’re cowering. We must do better. They must do better.

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in creating this mess

Brexit - championed by Farage - has been a significant factor in many of the UK’s problems - it’s time UK news shows and Labour started pointing that out

Labour must act to close asylum hotels or face Reform poll gains, ex-minister warns Charlie Falconer says government was right to challenge Epping hotel ruling but now has to ‘move forward’

No, Lord Falconer. Labour should stop pandering to this nonsense.

That's my dad joke for Christmas sorted out. 👍😅

Brexit has done more damage to the UK economy than “illegal immigration” I am sick of bullshit.
