We don't get to make this point when our party is using its time in govt to tell immigrants 'you might have wait 20 years until you can settle here permanently, and even then we might not let you'.
We don't get to make this point when we're doing nothing in response to rising racism.

Much as Brexit is awful, this isn't really true though. The increase in numbers coming on small boats is down to increased crackdown on other methods of arrival.
Also, I object to the implication that people coming here to claim asylum is something which demands an apology from anyone.

A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.

OK, this is a decent joke, but Farage's closeness to Tru should be just as damning as his party's links to Russia, yet for some reason the government don't seem to want to mention that.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

As many of you know, I do a lot of volunteer work with asylum seekers and refugees. One thing that’s going on is that Labour’s hostility towards migrants and the counterbattery from Tories and Reform is causing horrific fear and anxiety among vulnerable people who deserve our protection.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of those films that if I happen to see it's on I can't help watching it. The ending, as overly sentimental as it may be, kills me every time.
