The silence from Yvette Cooper , Lisa Nandy & Starmer etc about Far Right 'demonstrations ' & attacks on asylum seekers is shameful. Quick to condemn & criminalise those protesting genocide but unable to string a sentence together against mob racism & vandalism .
The Brexit boats Not small boats They started coming after Brexit Farage is mr Brexit
The reason for the boat problem is Brexit, Starmer, Cooper and co have boxed themselves into protecting Brexit at all costs (a few folk in the red wall still think they won something apparently) - Farage is an arsonist who's donned a Fire hat...we need to get with the programme quick-smart...

What a load of nonsense. Just compounds the issue.
One of their ilk referred to the mob as having "legitimate concerns". Responsibly governing rather than exploiting a crisis fabricated by the Tories would be a bit too much for them.
Increasingly of the conviction that they care little about winning future elections, and that their true role is normalising racism and the suppression of progressive voices in preparation for a Reform government.
The whole Labour Party is contemptible.
The UK govt. continues to use X, widely now seen as an open sewer of hate, racism and misogyny. Nazi-saluting Musk incited mob hate of Jess Phillips (in a UK where two MPs have recently been murdered) and called for the UK government to be overthrown. They're not just silent. They're complicit.
@perranmoonmp.bsky.social , you may be active on X or FB (which I no longer am) so apologies if you haven't also been silent, but if you have- why?
It's shameful, and it's deliberate. I'm getting the strong impression they're secretly impressed by Trump's fascism and would like some of it.
Totally agree!
splash a bit of paint on an aircraft to stop genocide and you are a terrorist..... paint red crosses all over your town defacing public property and terrorising refugees and asylum seekers and thats acceptable.... this GOVERNMENT REALY NEED TO GO.... Bring on Corbyn and Sultana....
They also reportedly ‘used crowbars to inflict further damage.” However why was the security so lax that they managed to get in & is terrorising a plane worse than terrorising people? They also put red paint on the runway, whereas these fascist loons are using red & white paint on our roundabouts 🙄
For England & Wales. Indy for Scotland. Reunification for Ireland!
They’ve boxed themselves in by refusing to/being unable to fully call out Trump/Brexit Leaving no decent ammunition to attack Farage with that Brexiteer McSweeny will allow at least… I Currently feel as helpless as I did when JC was assisting with enabling Farages Brexit in the 1st place🤦♀️
Whilst no longer living in the UK, and not missing it at all, I've just heard Farage describe illegal migration as a "scourge". Bit rich coming from him. Also, when you close all the legal routes it's very difficult to not be illegal.
Politicians are now scared of upsetting the far right. When your "values" can be bought by the highest bidder, you fail to be a politician worthy of mention.
It’s what their corporate donors have demanded.
I used to like listening to Lisa Nandy in opposition, but she/they are a classic example of how either power can corrupt a politicians moral compass or reveals their true character.
🤣🤣🤣 in USA every time Dems speak out against Fotus stuff, they fall into the 'pro trap', i.e. they argue about ICE = they are pro 'illegal immigration'. Argue against military in cities = they are 'pro crime'. Etc etc
Bollocks. Open your ears ffs no wonder country is fckd if there are others like you who haven’t a clue about whats going on.
Can't legislate wholesale against those protesting genocide, so they rile up the right and send them out to "protest" so they can legislate against that. That it's flags they're "protesting" I guess we're headed for flag bans at protests, so they can ban the Palestinian flag.
I can't take Starmer's govt as anything but a sham and a colossal betrayal of supporters Starmer has destroyed all confidence in his party and contributed to Reform's rise
I'm sure yet another hopeless 'Labour reset' is coming just round the corner to restore steady hands on the tiller, Tanita...
