Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

I would like Kemi Badenoch to explain how and where she thinks that she fits into Katie Lam’s ‘culturally coherent’ vision.
This is National Front level shit, and it’s being amplified by the use of a platform I cannot believe the UK government continues to not only tolerate but actively use.

I’m sure I’m not the only person thinking this, but how can you have a ceasefire if one or the other launches an attack, and then declared the ceasefire back in place afterwards.
A ceasefire is surely a binary: there’s either a ceasefire or there isn’t.

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them
