Sorry, I'm still in work mode, answering questions all day, you probably weren't inviting information, but there you go.

Well, if you are on minimum wage you just got a grand a year rise in salary, and more like £1750 if you are 18-20. Obv less after tax, but still an improvement for 2 million people.

I don't know if that's what he means though.

Conversely Cameron committed Austerity when there were other options after financial crash.
Poverty is a political choice
He said it was for the good of the country but it was just for the good of the wealthy.
People experiencing the results blame refugees, who we don't help to integrate like we did

We used to try to fix where refugees are coming from.
The previous Labour government greatly improved overseas development aid with a view to reducing global poverty by supporting them in their home countries.
One good thing Cameron did was commit to the UN 0.7% of GNI ODA goal.
Brexit ended that.

At least we would've been rid of him next year most likely, and we wouldn't be connected to this heartless removal of rights and massive burden on the wellbeing of my friends and neighbours who weren't born here but call Birmingham home.

Shabana Mahmood is a disgrace to Birmingham.

Birmingham Ladywood results Labour Shabana Mahmood Votes 15,558 Share 42.5% Share change -40.5 Independent Akhmed Yakoob Votes 12,137 Share 33.2% Share change +33.2 Green Zoe Challenor Votes 3,478 Share 9.5% Share change +7.7 Conservative Shaz Muzammil Votes 2,218 Share 6.1% Share change -3.7

Alternative to voting for Shabana Mahmood was running the risk of a fraudulent misogynistic charlatan named Akhmed Yakoob becoming my MP

That said, Shabana Mahmood is taking away the right of oppressed women get a decent education so... meh

Equally shameful, but not as damaging as her as Home Sec

She's my MP. I had to vote for her.

Birmingham needs to put Shabana Mahmood right on this blue Labour fantasy she's spinning for herself.

The cruel policies she is enacting will harm our constituency of Ladywood more than most but she doesn't care.

She's lucky we can't start a recall petition

Just like Robert Jenrick, he might claim he was just articulating an observation - but his comment was loaded with racist undertones. Just like Jenrick he probably believed he was speaking to someone who shared his world view, both being white and all. I found it v unsettling

“Nice to see some white people.” He was round the corner and gone before I had chance to fathom and respond (forgive me for not doing better, I don’t think me shouting into the sky ‘you horrid racist twat’ was any use.) I honestly don’t think he would have said that out loud even a year ago?

everyone needs to push back on what Jane highlights here wherever possible because we know where it leads

@sutrbirmingham.bsky.social

She should meet us but I doubt she has the courage

Prob not me because she'll just say I'm a white liberal who wants to put her in a box

I do

A box marked "decent human being from Birmingham" which is where everyone who is her constituent should want her to be

She should want to be there with us

Birmingham needs to put Shabana Mahmood right on this blue Labour fantasy she's spinning to protect herself from reality.

The cruel policies she is enacting will harm our constituency of Ladywood more than most but she doesn't care.

She's lucky we can't start a recall petition to get her sacked.

Mahmood: White liberals who want to put me in a box can f--- off Home Secretary responds to heckler claiming she is trying to ‘out-Reform Reform’ with tough stance on immigration

“I do think there is that element of it which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’
No Shabana Mahmood, it's more like "How dare you, a Labour MP, spout far-right white nationalist talking points and remove rights from refugees"

Edward?

I don't think he understands that you need to exercise as well as taking the steroids.

Lower image is the new Infowars logo which now has rainbow neon letters and The Onion logo where the O is. It's just beautiful

Alex Jones is taking it all really well 🙃

I await the breathless news commentary about the dramatic collapse in Reform UK support since November and what that means for the future of Nigel Farage as party leader going into the local elections...
