The UK’s so-called Labour Party is no longer confronting anti-human rights policies; it’s adopting them. In repeating the very measures and narratives it once opposed, Labour risks becoming a mirror of the far right.
👉This path is neither humane, practical, nor sustainable.

‘Illegal migration’ used to be rejected in EU circles. @europarl.europa.eu even urged using ‘irregular’ or ‘undocumented’ instead. Now, politicians say “illegal” without hesitation.
The language shift = more rights denied & legitmisation of inhumane policies and practices at Europe’s borders.
