We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel - it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Todays broken clock.

SJ is right, for once

Probably ~99%

What a great outcome

"Western blotting": the work of the devil.

It's called "blowing the dog whistle" at max volume

Wishful thinking?
What's going to replace them?

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

Zack Polanski: “We absolutely need to stop the boats” The Greens’ Zack Polanski on facing up to Reform

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.*

As someone who's been on both sides (fmr migrant in the UK & fmr 🇦🇺 Migration Officer), the entire anti-immigration movement (that ironically washes across borders) is destroying my soul. There are so few now who confidently defend welcoming, open-minded, multicultural societies. They are my people.

Anyone who really knows migrants knows this. We know how hard it is to move to another country, and how much commitment and heartache it takes.

Mahmood demands migrants earn right to settlement in UK New tests will include learning English to a high standard, paying National Insurance and not claiming benefits.

Migrants already "earn the right to settlement" through extortionate visa costs, which can run into tens of thousands of pounds. They prop up key services, including through the Immigration Health Surcharge.

Pushing the hostile environment on steroids helps no-one.

You sound like nigel farrige

Keir Starmer: doesn't want to rejoin the EU

Andy Burnham: wants to rejoin the EU

One of these men is putting country before ideology, and it's not the first of the two

That, alone, makes him fit to lead the nation. Labour: are you listening?

Full membership would be even better

How about rejecting anti immigration policies because they are wrong and dehumanising?

Result : it's very nice indeed

The fruit of our labour.

The latest experiment in seasonal foraging

I’m not

It isn’t.

It should be, but you’re working very hard to ensure it isn’t.

Farage wants to deport legal migrants in Britain Reform’s “Boriswave” slogan masks cruelty, cooked-up data, and echoes of Trumpist authoritarianism

Niemoeller's spirit may have something to say about this.

And would begin with

First They Came...

No "But" required.

Let's see if they continue the practice with Farrige

The truth: we need migration.

The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.

Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.

Reject it. Draw the line.

Nigel Farage slapped down for 'Brexit mistake' and given urgent demand Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey lashed out at Reform leader Nigel Farage, saying he should take responsibility for the UK losing a valuable return agreement with Europe

Nigel Farage should apologise for his role in causing the small boat crisis, Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has demanded

Ah! But it isn't.

That's exactly how they come across

The Con was aided, abetted and actually enacted by the Conservatives, and a significant rump of Labour.

They must carry the shame and obbrobrium of the nation.

Our current gvmt is the bearer of that toxic flame, and has a huge responsibility in this.

If they don’t stop playing into Reform’s hands, I feel it will be almost entirely on them if Reform wins the next election.
Media or not media. They are the government for goodness sake. The media still reports what they say. So say it. Louder, more boldly, more directly.
I think it’s not too late

Exactly.
