I found the UK government's public threat to prosecute a non-citizen (Sally Rooney) over support of an organization entirely legal in her home country a bit strange. States always traditionally shied away from making direct extra-territorial threats about police enforcement of domestic criminal law.

Whether you support them or not, a non-violent group being proscribed as terrorists should worry us all. They’ve targeted Pal Action because they’re effective, meaning all our rights are being curtailed because the establishment is afraid. Don’t let them get away with it.

After launching an unprovoked attack on Iran, while conducting a genocide in Gaza, the IDF posts this.
BTW, this is after almost every Western leader has loudly committed themselves to safeguarding Israel.

We should all feel shame for this. We should all be asking ourselves what we’ve been doing to try and stop this genocide. We all have some power, however limited it might feel. Use your power and oppose this now, while you still have the chance. End the genocide, end the occupation, free Palestine.

Horrific rhetoric
If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

Horrific rhetoric
Were last summer’s racist riots not enough for him? This is more than just sickening, it’s disturbing and incredibly frightening. Immigration is a good thing, on so many different levels, and I expect “grown ups” to take the time to explain why, not pander to the worst instincts of a tiny minority.
The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.
That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.
Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

Why can’t a party with a +400 majority be honest with the public? We subsidise areas of the workforce not because of immigration, but because employers pay low wages employees can’t afford to live on do we can have ever more cheap goods, food and services.

The thing that strikes me most about this article is Starmer’s description of the Tory Party. One which “haven’t learnt the lessons of the last general election.”
However Labour themselves have not learned that lesson; raising the salience of immigration only boosts Reform.

THIS! Performative cruelty from government is proof of Reform UK's agenda
Labour should concentrate on improving public services (including for immigrants) and the lives of people who've been gulled by Farage into thinking immigrants are the ones making life worse, rather than Austerity and Brexit.

Here's the real kicker in terms of policy though, none of this makes anyone's life better, so all it does is reinforces Reform's messaging. It doesn't change the root causes why Reform can weaponise migration, things like being disconnected from politics, cost of living etc. 9/

It is absolutely shameful that trans people are leaving the Labour Party. Even worse Starmer and Streeting don’t give a fuck and are happy to lose the support of a tiny minority who they consider to be an electoral liability. Fuck you Starmer and Streeting. Leadership challenge now.
One of Labour’s last remaining trans councillors, Dylan Tippetts, has quit the Labour Party this morning over the party’s transphobia.
Dylan made headlines in 2022 when he was elected as Plymouth’s first openly trans councillor.
