Immigration isn’t bad for the economy or for ‘British culture’. It’s anti-immigration politics - not immigration - that’s the real problem in the U.K. Remember that in this election. Get a copy of HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT if you want to hear more

Looks like Starmer’s changed Labour may well have fewer total votes than Labour got in that supposedly worse than 1935 election in 2019. Trouble ahead.

"Race is not real. But racism is real. More likely to die in pregnancy & infancy, to be expelled, unemployed, poorly housed. In all sorts of ways Black people fall foul not only of the law of the land but the law of probabilities." https://t.co/M4u4gaLxl5 Via @DoubleDownNews

Mika is my colleague and friend. Our children are similar ages so we talk lots about the joy of having a preschooler. What she has experienced today is despicable. Solidarity Mika.
Today a member of TUC staff, Mika Minio-Paluello, is being subjected to anti-trans abuse online, because she is a mother. This is unacceptable. Everyone should be safe and respected at work.

Deducting 100% of our pay during a cost of living crisis is shameful and cruel! Patronising and punishing your staff that are demanding better working conditions and a living wage is apparently how SOAS management do 'social justice'
“I actually am ashamed of any association with @SOAS now that they’ve taken the decision on 100% deductions…I just didn’t expect it from SOAS…it is a disgrace. We’ll call them out in Parliament, & we’ll…name and shame as well.” ✊ #NoDeductions #ShameOnSOAS #ucuRISING

First, @MayaGoodfellow explores the concept of #EconomicMigrant, is a widely used term in Britain - but it is misleading. Language itself is not simply the issue but the kinds of exclusion is legitimates. Read this #OpenAccess paper here: https://t.co/jWAls2ODQd
