Playing the "Good/bad migrant line helps spread further division and racism.

As @migrantvoice.bsky.social points out in this piece "People do not check what job someone has, or how they arrived, before attacking them".

Labour knows this and just carries on.

Russia cannot be beaten.

"But Putin can. He’s losing, not winning. And sooner or later, like the tsars and totalitarians of old, that same eternal Russia whose name he glorifies will chew him up and spit him out."

Outstanding piece on Putin's deluded gambit.

You only have to watch/read the mainstream media to understand their end game is WAR!

They are preparing us, almost making it the inevitable outcome…
Journalists from The Wall Street Journal reported that a group of senior German officers had drawn up a secret plan for conducting a war against Russia. Germany, the article noted, also intends to double its annual defense budget to 162 billion euros by 2029.

Home Office post - what mew lows can they reach
Time for the government to stop using X and stop the hostile environment hogwash. It alienates Labour supporters and is too subtle to appeal to Tory or Reform fan clubs. Shabana Mahmoud is just another Theresa May, a faux dominatrix who is all hate and no excitement.
This is so disgusting.

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

Senior DWP civil servant blames victims for carer’s allowance scandal.

Ridiculous.

People punished for providing unpaid care. Complex rules and cliff-edge limits result in benefits withdrawn for going over by pennies.

Thousands prosecuted. Meanwhile, no one charged for the Post Office scandal.
