Stop unlimited night flights at Leeds Bradford Airport! I'm 60 years old and chair of GALBA. I have Motor Neurone Disease - a terminal illness with no cure. I can live with dying but I couldn't live with myself if I didn't try to protect our climate.

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.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms. 

But we will not be silenced.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

When Brexiters and right wing media, like The Times, drone on about the importance of a trade deal with Trump and how Brexit gives us an advantage over the EU (hahaha), just remember that context matters. Which is why they always dodge that part.

Private Eye is happy to help though.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.

“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”

This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration.

In 2023, Nancy Mace called herself “pro-transgender rights” and said she’s supportive of children who “wanna take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity.” She is a fraud who is grifting off hate. Despicable.
