Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: βA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.β I suppose I shouldnβt 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 βwe 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.β She said βmaybe 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 β¦
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
I donβt think Starmer understands Labour voters at all. We didnβt want a government that adopts Reform style rhetoric and policies on immigration, doesnβt tax the rich & cosies up to Trump. Thatβs without the McSweeney effect and the Mandelson debacle. Attacking the Greens makes him look desperate.
To everyone who thinks that Farage is a good thing
Putting a cross next to Reform in 2029 will facilitate the arrival of a truly fascist state
Be very, very, careful what you wish for

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.
This is major. And an answer to the perennial "why don't you go and protest in China?" etc et.

Working fine for me on my laptop.
I'm feeling more cynical about politics than ever before in my life. I now see both major parties as corrupt, plus Reform obviously. Don't know about Lib Dems, and am currently still hopeful of the Green Party. How do others feel?
Let's just hope he doesn't get in.

Wasn't it Labour first, Reform second and Greens third last time?
I'd say people need to go all out to vote Green.
Thanks for that Chris, just what I needed this morning.

βAll it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trumpβ3 in House & 20 in Senate). Thatβs it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.β

We do know how to manage in this weather, but this is super fucking cold even for us. Itβs very much not just another winter day. This is the type of cold that makes your eyes hurt. To protest in this cold is a testament to our anger.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
