Starmer's got his kick-the-foreigners boots on early this morning. This could have been word for word from Reform. Scary focus on "British people". x.com/keir_starmer...

Starmer tweet: We’re cracking down on migrants working illegally as food delivery riders. We'll share asylum accommodation locations with Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats so they can take action if riders are staying there. We will do what it takes to ensure fairness for British people.

If “British people” want a takeaway they will have to go and get it themselves

British pensioners and disabled persons will have to "get back to work" and ride their bikes to deliver takeaways. That's "fairness for British people".

The lack of courage baffles me. He has a huge majority and a platform that should allow him to control the narrative. Instead, he just meekly follows others. I don't think he even believes this tripe, he's just cosplaying because he thinks that's what people want.

I think there are a lot of people who think this is what they want because they are constantly told it is what they should want. Labour could and should challenge that narrative and be the shepherd rather than the sheep

1. If they are working illegally that means they are most likely being paid a pittance (below min wage), pay no tax, pay no NI, have no access to benefits, healthcare etc., (i.e. they are NOT a drain on UK tax payert). 2.They are delivering British people their fast food. 3. How many British people

WTAF? I remember despairing at the Tories because of their corruption but in my head I kind of expected it. I know Labour had to walk a fine line to win the election but I'm SO disappointed with how they're trying to deal with the threat of Reform rather than putting a +ve vision for the country.

Ok, what if some of those people have been processed and accepted but can’t actually find any other accommodation, do they just get kicked out into the streets? After all cheap accommodation is difficult for British citizens let alone asylum seekers with little or no money.

Asylum seekers should be able to work. It would help them learn the language, integrate into British society, support themselves, pay taxes which takes away most of the arguments of why 'we don't want them here'. Everything but their skin colour but we don't mention that, that'd be rascist!

fendi1.bsky.social @fendi1.bsky.social

So is this asylum or illegal immigrant? An asylum seeker wouldn't get as far as the UK cos there are so many safe countries to offer shelter before the UK and an illegal immigrant shouldn't be allowed to conduct a "normal life" because then you might as well do away with legal immigration.

Hotels are getting burnt and mobbed, the local populace is at boiling point and the undercurrent is pushing for massive social unrest so I think you may misunderstand the safety offered to these people in the UK. Rwanda should have been left to run it's course.

Just Natting @justnatting.bsky.social

Rwanda was an expensive joke! There was only going to be a small number of asylum seekers sent, @1%, so really not a deterrent or an answer to having so many asylum seekers in hotels. Applications need to be processed faster - something the Tories didn't want as they use these poor people for votes!

That's why it should have been left to run but fixed to send more and work as a deterrent, 2019 we had EU professionals migrating over here now we have internationals from 3rd world countries dumping themselves in the UK

It's ok to have a different opinion, how would you feel if I nipped around to your house, borrowed your car, used your kettle, spent your money, slept in your bed and when you got home I asked for permission to do it? So why rock up on the shore saying now I'm here what you gonna do for me.

Not the greatest example but that is how people are feeling. When they limit families to 2 kids in a declining population and import people from other countries it causes confusion, people don't understand the second / third generation benefit they just see the immigrant.
