European to my bones and furious that I was deprived of my EU Citizenship.

Brexit degraded UK. It was Putin's testbed for using Trump to degrade USA.

Brexit is STILL a crime scene.

The best strategy for a Labour government is to govern like the sort of Labour government that their voters expected to see in office.

🟢Rescue complete
Last night, in the dark, the Oyvon team rescued 27 people who were in distress on a rubber boat.

The group were in shock, and as one of them told our team, "If you hadn't rescued us, we would have died."

Hero - Samir Zitouni is credited with saving ‘multiple lives’ on board the train

His family states. “While we are really happy to have him home, he still has a significant recovery ahead and we would now like to be left in privacy to care for him as a family.”

We wish him a speedy recovery.

Absolutely. Anyone with a functioning moral compass would support safe routes. The U.K. economy actually requires immigration to fill vacancies, address skills shortages & the need to support an ageing population. There is no migrant crisis. It’s been manufactured by the right-wing & now by Labour.

This is a very important statement by Kaja Kallas, Vice-President of the European Commission.

Hopefully, this also means that the EU will supply Ukraine with all the weapons it needs to defend itself powerfully and effectively. It is a disgrace that the West has let Ukraine down for many years.

@kajakallas.bsky.social:

Right now, Russia does not want to negotiate at all. Every time the world reaches out, Russia responds with missiles. Russia's latest attacks make abundantly clear that Russia is pressing with war. And this pattern keeps repeating.

Hey Labour

Remember the majority of voters who believe in treating people decently and not stealing from those who've endured months and years of hardship fleeing war and persecution to seek a place of safety?

We're still over here 👋

Recently there's been a coordinated effort by some to talk down London, because it suits their political agenda. The truth must hurt for them - because London has once again been crowned the greatest city in the world.

If, like me, you love London, then my message is this:
London proves progressive cities work. No wonder some politicians hate that, writes Sadiq Khan | LBC
We must stand up and defend our liberal, progressive, caring capital

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.

It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.

This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid.

The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated.

I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan).

Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass."

These are all monsters.

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

Trump’s decision to sue the BBC is exposing the Rabid Right’s hypocrisy. For all their flag waving, its extremists would rather side with a foreign despot who shares their fanatically anti-progressive doctrines than with a British institution that most of their compatriots cherish.

I've been following media coverage of immigration in detail over the last six weeks. There hasn't been a day during that period that the British people weren't told that asylum seekers are a drain on society or a danger to women and children

It can't be emphasised enough that the Government's current approach:

- Increase ILR to 10 years,
- Increase Asylum ILR to 20 years,
- Removal "immediately" if your home country becomes "safe,"
- Loss of permanent refugee status,

Is exactly the sort of thing they dismissed as radical extremism.
Yvette Cooper was defined by inertia and just blew in the wind. Shabana Mahmood gets things done. And what she wants to get done is absolutely crackers.

Having watched 'Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator', any investigation into Trump's DNA could be … disquieting!

The similarities and behavioural indicators are there, the signs of his being a dangerous outlier.

At what point should he be stopped?
