Are the Criminal Police Class Bonded by Drugs, Abuse, Misogyny and Rape?
And if so, what's the solution?

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

How could the Met have better addressed the public order implications of demonstrations against deaths in custody and police brutality, instead of spying on grieving families and those around them?
Fundamentally this:

The Home Secretary says "we have become the destination of choice in Europe, clearly visible to every people smuggler and would-be illegal migrant across the world"
That is a factually untrue claim: the Home Office shows that the UK is fifth, getting 1/10 claims, while Germany gets 1/5 claims

When it comes to today's campaigning groups, there seems to be a complete lack of interest in the #spycops inquiry
Things haven't got better
- they've got a hell of a lot worse
Why the silence? (@_i0n)

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.
In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.
Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

The RSF is not acting alone. They're being armed and supplied by foreign powers. The UAE is funding the worst humanitarian crisis in the world in order to steal Sudanese resources and gold. There's a rising cholera crisis, 100s of thousands have been killed, millions are starving & displaced.
