Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Farage may be riding high in the polls, but he has no idea of what it is to be prime minister

The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

This is an extraordinary piece of telly. Utterly damming of the corruption of the last Conservative Government - and of our political and legal systems which have failed even to aspire to holding those chancers to account. Available to watch on ITVX.

This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Gavin Esler cuts through the noise with a reminder that true patriotism isn’t loud flag-waving, fear-mongering fantasies. It’s quiet confidence, accountability, and celebrating the diverse, international roots of who we are. https://t.co/NMxkxWNJrv #PerspectiveMedia

Paul Nowak(TUC): "Are Nigel Farage & Richard Tice just right wing con men lining their own pockets... Robert Jenrick is a xenophobe, an opportunistic xenophobe,hoping to create a political climate that ends up with far right thugs laying siege to hotels..."

I’ve done an awful lot of interviews in my 35 years as an academic and @neilmackay has been utterly meticulous with this, precise in questions and follow up. I wish I didn’t live in a time when my scholarship and voice were needed in this way. #AyeWelcomeRefugees @UofGlasgow

When a Telegraph journalist says this is the most right-wing government of his lifetime, it should make people stop and think. Tory MP @AndrewBowie_MP : “I do find some of the tone of the debate quite troubling”. #EmergencyAlert #England

Priti Patel, Michael Gove, Gavin Williamson, Liz Truss, Boris Johnson and Robert Jenrick have something in common. They all were found to have breached the ministerial code but didn’t resign. So if any Tory has anything to say about Angela Rayner’s resignation remind them of it.

There has absolutely been an increase in anti-Muslim hate crime across Britain over the past few weeks. Racists have been emboldened. Thank you @adilray for calling out the shameful silence of our politicians.
