A man who arrived in the UK aged nine, as a refugee, now seeks not only to pull up the ladder, but to chop it into pieces, build a bonfire, and incinerate as many other helpless refugees as he can round up.
Former Conservative Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defends the claim that the UK has been colonised by immigrants.

Zahawi often criticised this kind of language before he joined Reform

Zahawi is arguing about net contributors - and ignoring the "colonised" comment about takeover + subjugation.

Shared thoughts with @stuti.bsky.social of @theindependent.bsky.social:
Prioritizing short-term #fossilfuel profits over public health & economic competitiveness also leaves the US behind in green tech.

Yes Jim, I fucking colonised this country

Unlike, THE FUCKING BRITISH EMPIRE, RIGHT?
The Premier League is a perfect example of how diversity and immigration can make us stronger.
We are disappointed to see unfounded, and untrue, statements like this being repeated.
Rather than spreading misinformation about migrants we should all stand united.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.
Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer
A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

There are only four possibilities:

1. the emails are fake
2. Staley was pretending to be Epstein's friend
3. Staley has lost his memory
4. Staley is lying.

The answer is simple:

it is isn’t just politicians, but the UK billionaire owned media who are far more comfortable having a “debate” about just how racist we should be, than they are probing into the corrupt money & dirty relationships that run our politics.

We really should be asking ourselves why one rich twat’s racist opinion can become headline news in this country

While the perspectives of thousands of volunteers welcoming migrants in their communities & mixed migrant/British families are never heard?
