@Caribbrexiteer @davarch1 @JonathanPieNews He also said that he'd end the two-child limit, scrap tuition fees, put forward a £28 billion ‘green prosperity plan’, and abolish Universal Credit. It's almost as if sometimes the words he says aren't true. Go figure 🫠

@BGatesIsaPyscho If you think Labour under Starmer is "Far Radical Left" you're either so far right that, by definition, anything vaguely in the centre is "far left" or you're politically illiterate.

@LeeAndersonMP_ The problem is the xenophobic rhetoric that has been at the heart of our politics for the last decade. Exacerbated by people like you and the party you represent. And the sheer irony of you sharing a front page from the Daily Mail speaks volumes...

@RockyWasYer @TeesPix @misspaulalondon @Keir_Starmer Yeah, definitely Keir. Definitely NOT the xenophobic rhetoric spouted by Farage and the Tories for years 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just a gentle reminder @UKLabour that the Tories trying to win over the UKIP voters is how we ended up with Brexit. We don't need more of the same. No Tory-lite politics to appease the xenophobic rhetoric from Reform. Give us change we can believe in!

— some Starmer allies insist holding off Farage/Reform and the Tories has to be the key aim — that means tough policies on migration and crime and “no left turn” opening up targets by bowing to others in Labour on social issues, higher taxes and spending bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@benonwine @BernieSanders Yeah. The bastard wanted to tax the rich, give us free wi-fi, re-nationalise our water, gas and electricity, and end food poverty and homelessness. The nerve of that guy!

@MercianSpam @DonPabIo @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero The thing I truly despise is those who hide behind faux patriotism to deflect their xenophobia and racism. If you truly care about your country, hold those in power to account instead of blaming immigration for all your woes.

@MercianSpam @DonPabIo @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero You've been provided with evidence and anecdotal evidence that suggest your views on the impacts on immigration are misplaced. Yet you continue to place blame at their feet and not those in power. If not out of xenophobia, why?

@MercianSpam @DonPabIo @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero "Where have the English children gone?" Jesus wept 🤦🏻‍♂️ And people wonder why they get called xenophobic when they say nonsense like this.

@DonPabIo @MercianSpam @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero Who said my school isn't strained? It certainly is but as a teacher of over a decade, who has worked in a variety of different schools who served different demographics, I'm confident that my assessment is closer to the mark than blaming immigrants for woes befalling schools.

@PoliticZero @Joe_Doire @MercianSpam You realise of course, that not citing sources just screams "I just made this up", right?

@DonPabIo @MercianSpam @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero So schools aren't part of the countries public services and infrastructure? Something which the OP, and many others, says is being affected by immigration? 🤔

@MercianSpam @DonPabIo @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero I'm a school teacher in a highly deprived area. I can categorically tell you that the children in my class from Nigeria, Pakistan, China don't make my job harder or worse or put a drain on the school. The recruitment, retention and funding crisis, that's on the government

@MercianSpam @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero So it's the immigrants fault that the government hadn't built enough social housing AND haven't regulated the housing market?

@MercianSpam @Joe_Doire @PoliticZero There aren't enough social homes, but that fault lies solely at the feet of the government. No one else. And whilst I understand the human nature of resentment, that anger should be directed at those at the top, not those at the bottom.
