Dear Hatemongers, We Aren't Going Back.
Trump, Stephen Miller, & MAGA have already lost. No matter how hard they try to send people of color "back" to our "third world countries," there are just too many of us. We're here & we're winning.

To suggest that having lived a life so grim that even an English tribunal will grant you asylum, and to have somehow managed to get here at great risk to life, is a "golden ticket" is absolutely fucking contemptible. Shame on this so-called Labour Party.

Absolutely yes. A once in a lifetime supermajority and a chance to implement real change completely wasted
Labour within 18 months have laid waste to the values they once stood for.
The good will and extensive political capital they were granted have been burned through, faster than their beloved aviation fuel.
All that remains now is a shell of deluded loyalists trying to defend the indefensible.
