There's a coalition that can defeat fascism

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

AOC understands "the assignment of fighting fascism" is what matters and there is a coalition that can win that fight. Antipathy towards the Democratic leadership is because they don't get that, they prioritise centre-left V left.

There is no silver bullet to reducing the number of people stuck in hotels, but by fast tracking claims and providing asylum for those from high grant rate countries, providing those seeking asylum with the right to work, and investing in community schemes this government could make a difference.

This is completely in line with a PM and government who have chosen to fight fascism by being racist/xenophobic and scapegoating migrants themselves so of course they can't call out these hateful fascistic policies.

How does this timid quote tally with what Keir Starmer said in his speech - and in his interviews - just a fortnight ago?

It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.

History demonstrates that trying to find common ground with authoritarians fails and just makes them stronger. Authoritarianism has to be firmly directly opposed by anti authoritarianism.
It appears Starmer's catastrophic & morally repugnant strategy is coming from his own authoritarian tendency

When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents.

Which kids' futures? Because of your racist/xenophobic campaign linking immigration & illegality you are making the future for the children of migrant and non white families unsafe destroying their potential and quality of life. Presumably you mean "white" native born children

Politicians and pundits alike are trying to get immigrants killed in the streets and you British citizens are just letting them get away with it.
Opinion: The past decade was a masterclass in how to misread a nation. If Sir Keir Starmer doesn’t want to gift Britain to Reform, he needs to prove fast that he can be tough and effective on immigration on.ft.com/47dejup

Having read his X posts for the last couple of months it has become clear that he is a racist/xenophobe and that when he refers to working families he means white working families. The left have always had a racism/misogyny problem, he is the culmination of that and is the death knell of Labour

An asylum seeker staying at a hotel that has been the flashpoint for anti-migrant protests has described being called a “scumbag” and treated like a criminal by local people.
Dozens of residents of Epping’s Bell hotel face an uncertain future after a court ruled on Tuesday that it cannot be used to house asylum seekers because of a breach of planning rules. Continue reading...
