When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen.
When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen.
When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen.
Let’s promote a message of unity instead.
One that tackles the issues facing us all: the housing crisis, the collapse of our NHS and the disaster of privatisation.
One that gives hope to all communities that a fairer society is possible.
Stand up to racism. Defend refugees. Inspire belief in a better world. That is how you defeat the far right once and for all.
The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.
"We're protecting our community"
As of today every single sewage company in England and Wales is under investigation as part of the "largest ever criminal investigation", into "widespread non-compliance".
What the hell has @Ofwat and @EnvAgency been doing the last 33 years?

“the language used was reprehensible”
Nigel Farage’s own words about what people in Reform have been recorded saying.
And all of the racists and homophobes are coming out of the woodwork to declare their support.
Britains racist underbelly ain’t pretty.
Essential journalism.
EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gone undercover inside Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton and found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser making racist and offensive remarks. As @DarshnaSoni reports.
Words getting out.
People in Australia discussing privatising their water industry are being warned off by "Good God no, just look what happened in England."
Water companies have made us a global laughing stock.

I’ve received more constituent messages on one issue than I can ever remember - expressing horror at siege & killing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, condemning brutal Hamas attacks, calling for immediate release of hostages & #CeasefireNow
That’s what I’ll vote for tomorrow
@krishgm@bbcstrictly Thank you Krishnan. Keep a little bit of that dance magic with you as you re-enter a far from “normal” world + you’ll be ok. Keep it in your pocket, never let that feeling go + dance whenever you can. The “normal” world is nuts, your speaking truth to power is absolutely vital 🙏
"It's unusual, it's unprecedented, it's contrary to the spirit of the constitutional settlement with police."
Sir Tom Winsor, former chief inspector of constabulary, tells #R4Today Suella Braverman's accusation of Met Police bias 'crosses a line' over political interference.
Suella Braverman is out of control. Her article tonight is a highly irresponsible, dangerous attempt to undermine respect for police at a sensitive time, to rip up operational independence & to inflame community tensions. No other Home Secretary of any party would ever do this
