It’s remarkable that we now live in a country where Reform brazenly announce that if they win power nationally they will punish areas of the country that didn’t vote for them. Let that sink in, and make sure Reform never get that opportunity

I don’t have a problem with migrants being housed near me. In truth, I would sooner live near them than near the people whipping up this ugly campaign against them. My experience, after meeting many immigrants and refugees over the years, is that they are decent, hard-working people who want safety, stability and the chance to build a life. The right’s fixation with presenting foreigners as a threat is a disgraceful joke, engineered to divide communities and redirect anger away from the politicians who have failed them. No issue has been weaponised more cynically by Nigel Farage and his acolytes than immigration. He used it in 2016 to frighten people about European migration, and he is using it again now against people seeking asylum. The method is familiar enough: take an instinctive human fear of the unfamiliar, inflame it, then harvest the resentment. This latest stunt, a vindictive act of intimidation which may well be unlawful, belongs to that same nasty tradition of dehumanising politics. The difference now is the tone. It has become more openly cruel, more performative, more imported from the worst habits of American right-wing politics, where humiliation itself becomes the point. They are getting nastier and dirtier, and they should be called what they are: a disgrace. A movement prepared to treat vulnerable people as props in a political game is nowhere near fit to govern.

"expected to amount to about £1 billion a year" Seeing as we're currently losing about £120 billion a year in trade and other costs since #Brexit, that seems to be a bargain ...
Steven Swinford@Steven_Swinford

Exclusive from @oliver_wright Brussels has told Sir Keir Starmer that Britain will have to make annual payments into European budgets for the first time since Brexit, as part of the prime minister’s reset with the bloc European negotiators have made it clear that paying the cash, expected to amount to about £1 billion a year, is a condition of further access to the EU’s single market They want Starmer to make the concession in principle at a summit between the prime minister and European leaders this summer before detailed negotiations on more integration. “If the UK wants further integration they must ‘pay to play’,” one European diplomat said. “That is not unusual.” thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

The UK’s exit from the EU single market has been an economic disaster. Most estimates now show: 1. UK GDP is around 4–6% lower than it otherwise would have been 2. Business investment fell roughly 10–15% below trend 3. Trade volumes and manufacturing competitiveness weakened sharply He was one of the main architects of this project. The damage to British industry, growth and long-term competitiveness is a direct consequence of that political choice

@philclarke0170 Average attendance is insane! Should be higher next season too with the changes to the away end and sold out season tickets. Great times indeed!

One thing on the pro-Palestine marches. If you accept they directly intimidate the Jewish community (which they do) then you must also acknowledge the Unite the Kingdom rallies have precisely the same effect on Muslim and other minority communities. We ban both, or neither.

I found this whole exchange appalling to be honest… I don’t know how to debate this Genuinely Rude, dismissive, and unable to acknowledge any role that the actions of the Israeli government plays in fanning antisemitism.
