Little piece of advice for Your Party members
If you're going to argue the party isn't anti-trans, maybe don't simultaneously talk down the importance of trans rights and the attacks on our rights going down like they're unimportant
Its not helping your "we're not anti-trans" case

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Migration is a politically unpopular way to address many of them.
The UK government wants everyone to throw them a nice little flag shaggy parade for choosing not to use it - while doing nothing else to fix the problems.

Setting aside the merits of migration, getting it down isn't some massive achievement when the officials who issue visas work for you.
You can just order them to issue fewer visas.
It's a tap you control, why are you bragging about turning it?
