Worth saying that despite asking for more than 12 hours we’ve had nothing back from Labour on this
A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

Skilled migrants should be required to subscribe to one UK based father/son policy focused subtack to boost the economy.

Haven’t read the report yet but this looks to me like another example of adding yet more makework to the immigration process for unclear reasons other than possibly getting mentioned in Politico Playbook.

2/5 UK free zones fundamentally violate this principle:
£160 million per zone to companies of government's choosing
Creates unlevel playing field
Distorts market integrity
82 EU zones are strictly regulated to prevent such abuses
This explains why both Labour and Conservatives say "no rejoin":

And any Brits with migrant/refugee background (at least one non British grandparent) should join in. SIGN ME UP (my paternal grandma was a refugee).

There was an initiative on this called "One day without us" that happened in 2017 & 2018. It needs to be revived!

One Day Without Us: It's time for an immigrant strike
Would the UK really cope if immigrants all downed tools for one day?

Brilliant idea! 👇👇👇

As is a #GeneralStrike!

I think there should be a week where all migrants withdraw their labour and see how things go. We might learn some surprising things.
Not just a living wage, Robert, but a #UniversalLivingIncome too, so no one is exploited just to live and no one who cannot work, for whatever reason, is left to suffer and die in poverty and the working classes arent being divided and pitted, 'workers against shirkers', as in the UK.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Fact. Many players for Maccabi Tel Aviv have served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as mandatory military service is a common experience for Israeli citizens
Pardon? Seriously?
Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell?!
With friends in high places, I guess one way of silencing and stopping the truth, the dirt, getting out, is to get Ghislane Maxwell out of prison before she spills the beans.

Or I guess he could try yet another Epstein or Virginia Giuffre style ending?
Trump is preparing to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell
So lovely to see people uniting in resistance to abuse of power and standing as one for positive change.

This is harrowing, but it is nothing compared to what the people of Palestine have been and are being subjected to and being forced to endure.

Demand the world's leaders and MSM #TellTheTruth about Israeli terrorism and their torture of hostages and #Genocide_of_Palestinians.

“I announced…I’m a journalist, I’m press.” The woman to my left hissed, “We don’t give a fuck,” and the other dug her nails into my scalp and pulled me by my hair across the port.”

U.S. allies abducting and torturing American journalists isn’t a problem to this administration.

Why is the Government delaying publication of the land use review?

As someone who participated in the process, I would say it's because the government does not like what the Land Use Review reveals or the scale of change it necessitates.

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.
Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

Couldn't agree more.
Starmer is a war criminal.
Have you ever been more disgusted by a British Government than Keir Starmer’s?
He makes me sick to my stomach.
He has betrayed the Labour Party, and like Blair, he is a war criminal.

If nature were left alone, it grows back batter than any human micromanagement can. We can only leave nature alone if we end meat & dairy first.

Domestic rewilding in rich countries is the worst thing we do today is. Insanity or Earth denial.

Burning fossil fuels was more efficient than burning forests. Burning FFs saved us all and brought us time. Now we have end both, but ending deforestation aka meat & dairy is still ‘primary’ be definition. Planting trees without first reducing meat is worse than more solar without less consumption.

Just astonishing how much focus there is on planting trees to hopefully create new forests for the future

And all the while the plunder and destruction of our actual, existing forests just carries on worsening
