When Tommy Robinson approves your immigration plans surely they must be wrong!

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

The irony of Danny Kruger accusing the BBC of left-wing bias when Reform UK - with just 5 MPs - gets more airtime than the Liberal Democrats, who have 72 MPs.

The BBC doesn't have a left-wing bias.

Samir Zitouni who works for LNER was the first person to try and stop the attack in Huntingdon.

He is a hero spread his name far and wide, judge people on their actions not their names or immigration status.

For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

I want to think that this clip along with the Katie Lam madness represents the end of the Faragist cul-de-sac the Tories have gone down.

Nigel Farage’s β€˜PMQs strike’ ridiculed as records show he hasn’t asked for extra question in months It turns out Farage hasn't put his name forward to ask a question for months

So sick of this man’s fake outrage and whining at just about everything

Nigel Farage made a song & dance this week about not getting to ask questions at Prime Minister’s Questions - turns out he hasn't put his name forward to ask a question for months.

To all on #SocialistSunday...

Keep fighting inequality.
Keep fighting poverty.
Keep fighting injustice.

Keep fighting the billionaires and their propaganda press.
Keep fighting Farage.
Keep fighting fascism.

Keep fighting for each other.

This is so true! There were those who thought like Jenrick and Farage when I was at school 50 years ago. They were out of date then, and they're out of date now. If just "being white" is your identity, you have no identity. Wanting England to be "just white" is like wanting a stew with no seasoning.

Nigel Farage has abandoned one of his only promises, tax cuts for anyone on the minimum wage.

That leaves a Manifesto that is only racism.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Nigel Farage accuses teachers of β€˜poisoning our kids’ on race issues Exclusive: Reform UK leader’s remarks at event for private US college criticised as β€˜grossly irresponsible’ by NEU leader

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?
What a repulsive, grubby little traitor.

Nothing says you oppose incitement to violence like using your conference to platform someone who urged people to set fire to hotels full of migrants.

Typical Labour bring in a disproportionate stupid law and when people protest it, make the protest illegal.

Stop blaming migrants and tackle UK’s real problems, 100 charities tell home secretary A letter warns Shabana Mahmood that β€˜targeting refugees will do nothing to tackle’ problems with housing and the NHS

Stop blaming migrants and tackle real problems, 100 charities tell UK Govt.

Govt follows Reform agenda, failed to develop effective counter narrative.

Migrants are vital part of economy, public services. Economic problems caused by inequality, austerity, privatisation, political corruption.

Nigel Farage on course to be next prime minister, mega poll projects The projection suggests 306 Reform gains, up from their current seat tally of five.

What an utter disaster for our country. Why aren't we learning from the horrific things that are happening in the USA? And why aren't you highlighting this? What sort of deal has Murdoch struck with Farage?

Ed Davey, "It's so frustrating, so infuriating that Nigel Farage gets such an easy ride from the media"

"As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others given Farage so much time and attention"

"But they never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done"

"The damage of Brexit"

Farage’s plans to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain would ruin lives and tear families apart.

Rather than dismissing Reform’s xenophobic proposals as 'unrealistic' or 'unaffordable', our government should be clear that they are cruel and unjust. We must stand up for migrants' rights.

I am so sick of seeing his horrible gurning face on every media outlet and social media + including here sadly! Why can't more people see through him for the nasty self serving conman he is? Not to mention his racist authoritarianism. If he ever gets anywhere near power we are all doomed!!!!

Farage vows to scrap settled status, placing thousands at risk of deportation Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

Farage is more dangerous and extreme than most of us thought as he pledges to end settled status (migrants legally settled here)πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

1,000’s of Drs, Surgeons, Nurses, Dentists etc would be deported inc those treating me in hospital each year❌

Nigel Farage vows to ditch indefinite leave to remain for migrants Reform UK leader says people with settled status would be forced to reapply for new visa after five years

Who is Farage seeking to throw out?

Your child's teacher, the nurse caring for you, the plumber fixing your pipes, your bus driver or friendly cafe worker?
