The government has rejected calls by its OWN independent Migration Advisory Committee for visa reforms to protect migrant farm workers from exploitation
Labour seems wedded to a model of immigration based on creating a subclass of exploited worker.
It's sick.

Tell them you're seriously considering voting for them - let them over estimate their support. Much more effective than calling them racist bastards & hanging up the phone 😅
Reform appears to have a freephone number.
It would be really wrong to abuse this or keep them on the line for absolutely ages.....or ask for more "literature" which costs them to send....

This is what Farage wants to do to the UK. Those who consider voting Reform need to do so with eyes wide open and be prepared for the worse and the anger of those who don't.
The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

Putin murdered Alexei Navalny in the most disgusting and performative way.
He's a psychopath and a monster.
Now look at politicians in Britain, Europe, and America who are either looking the other way - or engaging in abject whataboutery.

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

As if the split on the right between the Tories and Reform weren’t enough of a spectacle, we now have a split on the further right between Reform and Restore. Farage v Lowe. A race to the bottom.
