"Britain has decided that the girl who fought the Taliban’s agenda, who learned English in secret, who turned down a forced marriage, who won her place, is an asylum risk.
Her name is Bahar. She is 18 years old. She did everything we asked of her."
Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Good, but this is a day late and a buck short.
Thornberry et al. knew full well how wrong Labour were/are on 'trans' (cringe). We begged and pleaded with them for years. They did nothing.
Right when we needed their voices most, they stayed schtum to avoid upsetting their transphobic leadership.
Labour's asylum and immigration policies risk violating international law and are politically self-defeating, writes Daniel Sohege.
He has to pay for his many crimes
When you close safer pathways, you don’t make desperation disappear, you just reroute it, meaning more people will be forced into taking dangerous journeys to save their lives.
Singling out these countries, knowing so many people have already been displaced due to conflict, is especially cruel.
Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.
🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD
DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN
TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥
Shabana Mahmood’s double down on immigration ‘disappointing’, says Alf Dubs.
Labour chasing Reform voters, losing progressive vote.
Hospitals struggling to recruit doctors and nurses.
With an ageing society economy can't function without immigration. Need sensible debate.
Tim Kaine: "Has Pres. Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?"
Read it again. We killed 85 schoolgirls this morning.
Pretty sure they brought in the wrong First Lady to testify...🤔😏
Agreed. KS statement this morning was a disaster. Pretending that the Greens are as bad as Reform, jUsT oN tHe LeFt, is an idiotic strategy.
Patients NEED GPs NOT Doors
£485m minus inflation is … £85m ….£1.50 per patent additional funding
But wait…added staff costs £40m … added demands …top down imposed contract
Can’t see a GP?
The problem …. MPs @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social NHSEngland DHSC
Treatment £40/patient/year
My statement on the Gorton and Denton result. 👇
Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.
"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."
BREAKING: Democrats just called for Trump to Testify under oath:
Robert Garcia:
“Republicans have now set a new precedent. To bring in presidents and former presidents to testify… We are now asking and demanding that President Trump officially come in and testify before the Oversight committee.“
Grew up watching a Trans woman win Big Brother, hearing music with lyrics that celebrated Trans people, seeing folk flourish as themselves. Now we’re going backwards
I will ALWAYS stand against the politicisation and degradation of human rights. Solidarity to our Trans family 🏳️⚧️ 💪🏻
Treating myself to a lovely breakfast to celebrate.
The industrial opportunities of the green economy are vast and global.
Globalisation and nationalisation stripped Britain of its industry - under the Tories.
Long before the Green economy came along.
So the Greens now have more directly appointed MPs than Reform, so by Chris Mason's political logic, that must make them 'real' opposition to Labour...so I expect to see them represented on every political show the Beeb has to offer henceforth.
Well that's some good news to wake up to. Relieved to see @greenparty.org.uk win Gorton and Denton. Hopefully this will now also prompt Labour to stop pushing such hostile right wing policies against marginalised groups and recognise that people want progressive politics.
What will happen. Mahmood will continue to try and ban legitimate protest against the Israeli genocide; Streeting will continue to play to the fascist gallery by denying trans existence; and Labour will continue to haemorrhage voters. Starmer is too weak to change either.
As @JustinWolfers points out — when Trump boasts about the market being up he fails to mention other markets around the world are up way higher in the same period of time 🤷🏼
Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.
She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
It’s up to all of us to now step up and call this absolute bull**** out
We've written to Bridget Phillipson to point out she's legally obliged to reject the EHRC's draft guidance
The Government committed in its manifesto to “remove indignities for trans people”. We're asking that they take steps to protect the trans community & correct what the Supreme Court got wrong
Or you could say that the Principality of Monaco has been colonised by tax-avoiding, racist football club owners.
