We really didn't need another reason to not visit the fascist shithole that the clueless cult on the right in the US has created.

You couldn't pay me enough to visit the US. Not as long as it's run by demented demagogue.

What is constraining government capital investment in the UK?

Speakng at the Treasury Select Committe this week, Ruth Curtice argued it was less to do with fiscal rules and more to do with the UK's higher borrowing costs.

Starmer: we’re the economically serious party, the grown-ups in the room

Also Starmer: we’re happy to hit the economy by up to £10 billion to appease racists.

Sweet Jesus Starmer’s here to make the headlines about immigration again. The actual worst politician I’ve ever seen 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Today - are foreigners really human? Should they REALLY enjoy human rights protections like the rest of us? #r4today

This is quite unbelievable

A Labour Govt

Give me strength

I will find it very hard to vote for a Labour candidate even if it is tactically when policies like this are in place

Shameful, really shameful!
Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

This is why Polanski and the Greens using "cowardice" as their narrative framing of Starmer and Labour lands so effectively.
Keir Starmer’s spokesman refuses to criticise Trump for calling Europe a group of “decaying” nations led by “weak” leaders

Asked about Trump saying European countries will no longer be “viable" thanks to migration, Keir Starmer’s spokesman says the UK is “returning control to our asylum system”

Very good question Peter 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
People should note that Voloshyn tried to disguise Gill’s bribes as ‘media payments’

Do we know how much Farage received for his regular appearance on RT/Russia Today around the time of Brexit?
Three more British MEPs in Nigel Farage’s bloc now alleged to have “followed the script” given to Nathan Gill by an alleged Russian asset, according to prosecutors.

At least eight UKIP and Brexit Party MPs were focus of efforts by Nathan Gill

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

Not clumsy. Spreading racist myths isn’t clumsy.
I have deleted a post I made which referred to 'International health system', because whilst health tourism does exist, it is not the main issue surrounding the need for stronger borders and I appreciate the post could undermine the brilliant work by many migrant NHS workers.

I was clumsy. Sorry.

Not for the first time, I’m being told that attacking Farage for his boyhood racism is futile. The opposite is the case, as you can see from how rattled he is by it.

And no, it’s not about persuading Farage fans anything, it’s about mobilising the non-voters and encouraging tactical voting.
