So the Home Office, which is responsible for the welfare of asylum seekers & for determining their claims, has decided to call them “illegal migrants” & tell everyone it’s “furious” about them being here, but I’m sure this is fine and not a symptom of a culture of disbelief & gratuitous cruelty

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk it's time to really stand against what is happening right now. It's horrible and shameful ,and not who we are as a country. The narrative has been completely distorted to facilitate far right politics in this country.
I don't think I can stomach anymore of the far right Labour, or ITV or BBC pumping out images of nasty racist people calling out migrants or ' illegals' to get out of the UK. The politicians created this febrile ,divisive environment along with the toxic British media, it's shameful and corrupt.

America, your president is taking away aid from the people that need it most.
The poorest in society.
He’s starving your own citizens, saying “I’d feed them if I could” whilst throwing lavish parties at Mar a lago.
He doesn’t care about you America.

I would humbly put forward that it is not a coincidence that the best US politicians on Palestine are also the best US politicians on Sudan
