Incredible scenes!

Reform would ‘cut benefits for EU nationals and hike NHS immigration surcharge’ Party claims its policies would eliminate ‘black hole’ Rachel Reeves faces in the budget – but Labour says the ‘fantasy numbers don’t add up’

The stupidity of Farage’s latest ‘plan’ is staggering.
Claiming they’d save British taxpayers money by ripping up international commitments and starting a trade war with Europe is the puerile foot-stamp of a party that uses prejudice as policy. Ruinous nonsense.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

Loving it!

You are defining refugees as OTHER for the rest of their lives Ms Mahmood. That is nothing other than a far right policy.

Just exquisite ❤️

Please if you can, pop a few quid in this pot and/or share! 💕

Done and shared. 💕

Imagine a 100+ seat majority in the hands of even Wilson and Callaghan, never mind Attlee, Blair or Brown.

Every one of those Labour Prime Ministers did something or would have done something far more transformative than Starmer's strategic timidity.

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

How Spain’s radically different approach to migration helped its economy soar As immigration has increased, GDP has surged and unemployment has fallen to lowest level since 2008

No-one is going to switch to Labour because of this cruelty. Farage will be vindicated because the ECHR is back in the news & the economy will suffer.

There was another way.
We could have all been better off by 2029 & the Reform threat kneecapped.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Just terrible. 😔

🥰 Wishing you all the best!

5/10 nearly 6, shoulda been 7!

Me too! Just the worst! 😔

Done! Hubs is going to love it! x

So….let me get this straight …these are British immigrants in Spain waving Union Jacks and protesting about immigration ….to the UK? 🤯

Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

I know! Incredible!

Beautiful ….and much needed today. ❤️

Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters.
Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

This …is utterly appalling. Putting vulnerable refugees in permanent limbo will not stop the boats,will do nothing for Labour’s ratings, serves no one but the Faragists and embeds instability which the far right love. Lose forever. 😡

Disgraceful hackery 😡

The letter the BBC could send to Trump in reply to his $1bn claim 12th November 2025 Yesterday this blog offered a close reading of the letter Trump’s lawyers had sent to the British Broadcasting Corporation. As a follow-up, this is a letter that the BBC could se…

Probably too much to ask but I'd love to see @davidallengreen.bsky.social's 'could' turn into the Beeb's 'will'!

Clear out toys now!

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Just catching up with #Strictly. Lewis and Katya’s dancing is worth the BBC license fee all by itself 🔥

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

I mean, what kind of legal action would this be exactly? Defamation? I would truly love to see it. 'They made it look like I instigated a coup during my very well recorded coup attempt.'
