At a rugby club in small-town Leicestershire. This was on the window ledge in the toilet. Fearing the worst, I scanned the QR & opened it in an incognito window…
It’s a link to Amnesty International’s explainer on asylum & refugees 😍

This is what GB News considers news.
Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain.
Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that?

fish and chips, the native British dish invented by sephardic Jewish migrants in the 18th century using a vegetable no one on this island had encountered before the 16th
The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

I'm getting really really fed up at constant reassertion that welfare spending is "out of control" when it is the same as the average for the past few decades.
One reason disability benefit costs have risen is because core support has fallen.

"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism.
The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life.

1. The Flags have arrived in my area.
They make me uneasy. It isn't I have a problem with them when we're celebrating something. Football. Olympics. Even a royal wedding. But right now they don't *feel* like a positive affirmation of stuff we like but more a protest against things people don't..

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it.
That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity.
Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

Shocked by the scenes in Liverpool today.
I want to thank the emergency services who have responded so quickly.

When life gets busy, I turn to the kitchen. There’s something calming about measuring, mixing, and letting everything else fade away.
Now to eat 😊

Mind you, the local Tory candidate in last year’s general election, & current candidate in tomorrow’s county elections, recently endorsed the Great Replacement conspiracy theory on Facebook. So he’s not much better.
The branch of Reform in my constituency is an absolute sewer of racism, misogyny, climate change denial & general far-right lunacy.
What is it about a party led by Nigel Farage that attracts these scumbags?
