The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.

Or reform , or labour …

Really positive for the Greens if that holds up.

I know it's not huge gains, but who exactly is expected to vote Tory? In London and in 2026.

Even if they weren’t an asset, I would still want welcome immigrants, someone’s life and security shouldn’t be dependent on whether they benefit me or the country in which I live

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Stirchley groups separated over 'flag issue' Police were called to separate opposing sides in Stirchley over the 'flag issue' continuing to cause tension around the country

I was interviewed while there (end of the video in the article).
The police did a good job of dealing with people who, sadly, were aggressive and directly threatened several people, despite claiming otherwise. They do not represent Stirchley or our city.
www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

Today, Stirchley residents put on a family event, with music and chalk for kids, to show we can celebrate our city. The community came together to say we will not allow our nations' flags to be used to divide us or intimidate our neighbours.
I'm incredibly proud to be born and raised in Stirchley ❤️‍🔥

Bei mir bleibt die Kiste Bier mit dem Auto holen und 8 Tote täglich. Das nehmen wir einfach so in Kauf. Warum? Warum sind uns diese Menschen so egal? Warum ist das Auto soooooo wahnsinnig wichtig? Warum nicht anders und neu denken? Für Menschen und nicht gegen sie?

Israel has violated ceasefire 47 times and killed 38 Palestinians, says Gaza media office Authorities urge UN to intervene ‘to protect unarmed civilian populations’ after attack on bus that killed 11

Since the US-brokered ceasefire with Hamas came into effect on October 10, Israel has committed up to 47 violations, killing at least 38 Palestinians and wounding 143 others.

I’m appalled but unfortunately not surprised that an Israeli military leader would say something like this. But both in Congress and on the campaign trail I will dedicate every ounce of my being to ending the utter devastation in Gaza.
