Is there anything more despicable than watching Labour and Reform compete over who can deport the most migrants?
The Green Party reject this toxic and divisive rhetoric and call for an immigration system grounded in humanity and compassion.

Well done, slowly but surely Zack wins sceptics round.
It’s obvious to me that for years the right have been controlling us with division.
Time the message was very clear.
Socialism can work and is fair.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

This kind of inclusivity is great. Like in the driving example, the aim is to make sustainable transport accessible, not chastise people who can't yet access it.
That obviously doesn't apply to human rights though. Including bigots by definition excludes the targets of their bigotry.

Lots of us will never vote for politicians playing the race card. So those who don't want Reform need to get behind Green, LD, SNP or PC quickly.
Labour is done, and by pretending it isn't you only help the Tories and Reform.
