Keir Starmer’s “island of strangers” rhetoric is reckless and divisive. In Wales, as across the UK, social care is in crisis. The solution is not to turn on migrant workers, but to invest in training, raise wages, and improve working conditions. 🗣️ @benlake.bsky.social
What’s even worse is his denial of the Holocaust in Palestine!!!
Seems self evident, some Occam style reasoning getting to the heart of the matter. As opposed to Starmer's policy of Reform appeasement.

The Blair government had Peter Mandelson and his spin doctors to carefully manage things, and could justifiably be accused of putting too much of a PR gloss onto everything. This government seems to have an anti-spin doctor to ensure they bollocks up all their public pronouncements.
Why not complete the full quote? Why just the first half of the sentence?
Starmer is a “strange” one. He’s a brutal hammer when dealing with the poor, the old, the sick, the disabled, and now immigrants…..Yet he’s a grovelling “ass kisser” when it comes to dealing with Trump, and Labour’s Non-Dom donors. 🏴🇪🇺🏴🇪🇺🏴🇪🇺🏴🇪🇺🏴🇪🇺🏴🇪🇺
I'm an immigrant to the UK and the demonising of migrants by Labour is appalling to me. I know their dogwhistles aren't aimed at me (white), but we're all just people. Will Plaid stand up to anti-immigrant rhetoric or will it cave to the far-right narrative for perceived political gain?
There are no strangers, just friends we have not yet met. The stranger here is a Labour Prime Minister we thought we knew
So why insist on many jobs in Wales needing fluent Welsh, when so few people use it?
As a care professional I see the issues. Recent Tory legislation recruited carers from Africa, to work here, They are legally paid 20% less than a U.K care worker by care homes & care providers. Racist; should be paid the same as us, Result; already low paid U.K carers no longer recruited.
