People smuggling arrests fall under Labour despite pledge to ‘smash the gangs’ Exclusive: Prime minister is warned ‘it’s never been easier to be a people smuggler’ after arrests fall despite his vow to ‘smash the gangs’

Between 60-85% of those that come here on small boats are granted asylum. The answer is to open safe routes and vastly increase processing time for asylum applications. Refugees can then get jobs, a home and contribute rather than sit in a hotel for months..

Wow, we have lost £44 billion in public investment due to Brexit. Wouldn’t opposing Brexit be the patriotic thing to do?

A great piece on how fear politics by likes of Reform play out - & just how unwinnable the battle feels

Campaign messaging loops repeatedly back to the idea of an “illegal migrant crisis” as a “national emergency for women,” peppered with lurid statistics that collapse spectacularly under scrutiny.

To repeat: Israel is deliberately killing journalists after labeling them as "terrorists." Based solely on their being Arab / Palestinian. This is not just racist targeting. It's genocidal. Every single leader of that country needs to be dragged before the ICC. War criminals, the lot of them.

She came so strong wit it, she cleared my sinuses 🤯😭🤣

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022.

This isn’t OK 🚨

Norway has stopped their investment in 11 Israeli firms linked to manufacturing weapons and is reviewing the rest of their $2tn Sovereign Funds investments in Israel.

They should boycott Israel.

Shouldn't they?

Will any Politicians condemn Israel's assassination of the Al Jazeera media team in Gaza?

No, they won't even mention it.

Fury grows in Israel over Netanyahu’s defiant bid to ‘finish the job’ in Gaza As Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to back down over military expansion into Gaza, hostages' families tell Bel Trew in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem why their government has got it wrong – and call for an end to ...

When the Israeli people themselves are doing more and protesting louder than our and other world governments you know Labour have got to finally step up to the plate and stop all exports to Israel and condemn their genocide.
Enough.

Brexiters complaining about the "absolute chaos" of the impact of Brexit, expecting special treatment from the EU, & pointing the finger elsewhere.
Same old dogs, same old tricks.

Press freedom groups slam Israel’s killing of 5 Al Jazeera staff in Gaza The killings come after Israel stepped up a smear campaign against Al Jazeera’s correspondent Anas al-Sharif.

World governents are complicit in Israel’s crimes by allowing it to continue.

Ain't that the truth!

BREAKING: Trump on Washington D.C:

“The homeless have to move out IMMEDIATELY”.

Better idea. Take the $200m that you want to spend on putting gold accents in a new pointless White House ballroom, and invest it in the community instead.

Young #Ukrainian volunteers from the Garage association have woven more than 700 camouflage nets, made hundreds of trench candles for the Ukrainian Defenders in 2yrs

Kids share they do it because they know they can save soldiers' lives

Nigel Farage posts a video from 2015 in Greece and claims it is the UK today. What more proof is needed that this lying, grifting sack of shit will do anything to incite hatred and division?

Rail travel now costs you 3x as much per journey as it did when it was nationalised.

Yet the service has got worse.

Where could all the money be going?

Can that fucker go any lower.....

How many more times? You cannot beat Reform by adopting their policies. You beat them by being smarter, better, more compassionate & by making a strong case (as Starmer has done before) for immigration.

A gif of Met police carrying away and arresting an elderly woman today in Parliament square

Shame on Labour for putting our police in this position

Interesting isn't it, MPs who have well paid jobs can claim for free vehicles, travel, rent, energy, heating and much, much more.

But Disabled People who can't work and claim a fraction of that are scumbags ripping the system off.

Perhaps these MPs don't own mirrors?

Trump and Putin will meet in Alaska next week, Trump says President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet in the United States, multiple sources tell CBS News.

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine.

Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.

These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.

He has to go.

Imagine you want to row from France to England and you can choose route A) 22 miles to Dover, or route B) 120 miles to Great Yarmouth. Rupert Lowe thinks people would choose B. Rupert is an idiot.

UK hasn’t seen poverty like this for 60 years, says Gordon Brown The former prime minister backed reforms to gambling taxes in order to generate the £3.2bn needed to scrap the cap

UK hasn’t seen poverty like this for 60 yrs, says Gordon Brown in call to scrap two-child benefit cap.

Tory govt imposed it. Labour continuing with it. Starmer removed whip from 7 MPs who opposed it.

What is the mentality of Ministers condemning children to poverty, blighting futures?

Netanyahu is threatening to sue the NY Times for posting this picture of a boy with cerebal palsy who Netanyahu is starving to death.

But don't spread it you wouldn't want to upset Netanyahu.

Would you?

Learning to loathe Brexit Britain: The case of Hilary Mantel Summer reading 2/

"I thought everyone now knew that Brexit was sold with worthless promises & had inflicted huge & continuing damage. I was wrong. As it turned out, just 71% of the public understand this.
A substantial majority of the population, I hear you say. But none of the main political parties represents us

I am so sick and tired of seeing MPs and the media shit themselves over refugees arriving in small boats over the channel.

If your initial reaction to seeing these boats is anything other than “those poor bastards, I hope they make it across” then you have failed as a human being.
