EXCLUSIVE interview with Zack Polanski by @daisyeastlake * Britain should take in more asylum seekers 'At the moment, 5 per cent of Britain is built on. We know that Germany is taking double the amount of people seeking asylum than we are, and France is taking more than we are too. So I think the first thing is to say it’s about taking a fair amount of people in proportion to other people' * Migration debate is driven by racism 'We need to make racism unacceptable again. We’ve seen situations where people from Ukraine have rightly been welcomed into the country with open arms, and so they should be, they’re facing an illegal invasion. But where is that same hospitality to the Sudanese people, Eritrean people, people from Yemen?' * Starmer is 'pushing racist rhetoric' 'I think Nigel Farage is setting the direction and Keir Starmer is catching up as quickly as he can. This is why we see a Labour Party that is tanking in the polls because they refuse to stand for anything and I think the British public are smarter than that. I think they’re kinder than that' * Asylum seekers should be able to work in UK from the moment they arrive 'I think from the moment they arrive in the UK, people should be able to work or should be given the ability to work, because that means they’re then paying into the tax system. Also, very obviously, there are lots of vacancies, both in our NHS, in the care sector, in the construction sector' * Trans women are women, JK Rowling is 'punching down' & 'intensely hateful' 'I often reflect that someone so wealthy could enjoy a peaceful life, but seems to spend time punching down metaphorically to trans people. I think it’s shameful' thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Your party has just told those migrant care workers they’ll wait another 15 years - FIFTEEN YEARS - before you’ll give them a settled status. THAT is exploitation. Right there. You enormous hypocrite.

I have to do another thread about this because there is so much dishonesty and really sick spin coming from an element of Labour. 1/13

Three pictures which won't age well. There's diplomacy, then there's cowardice. We know which this is.

100% this. What a team.

Here is why starving children is fine, here is why targeting journalists is fine, here is why destroying hospitals is fine, here is why destroying every house in Gaza is fine, here is why shooting people in line for food is fine. Do you hear yourselves? Are you fucking serious?

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

@JoemarrsCFC @BleacherJeff @oasis Messaged you!

I have 2 extra GA tickets to #oasis in Edinburgh tonight! Our American friends didn't come after all. If you somehow see this get in touch! @oasis

@thumm22 Where are you selling them? And price?

An entire city reduced to nothing more than rubble, sand and dust. I don’t think people truly comprehend the gravity of this catastrophe.

ROCKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

That #GavinandStacey finale was fantastic. What a show. What an ending.

Belter.

Tone fucking deaf should be the Labour motto.
