Can we PLEASE have a reset on how foreign workers are viewed in the UK?

This insistence of adopting a right wing framing, even by Labour, is insane

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Explanation from @peterstefanovic.bsky.social that former Musk favourite Farage is talking β€œbollocks” when he claims we need to leave the ECHR to take back control of our borders.

Leaving would remove rights already used to protect British citizens from bad decisions by its own government.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.

At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.

I was enjoying threads up to this point πŸ˜• I hope I can find my people here:
- dog lovers
- left-wing
- UK-based (Yorkshire?)
- progressive/liberal Christians who trust science
- people who rescue dogs and post lots of photos of them
- readers
- crafters
- linguists
- foodies
- dogs, dogs, dogs
