Rishi Sunak: The numbers will grow, overwhelm our countries

Donal Trump: They're poisoning the blood of our country

The UK and the US are meant to be the world's leading democracies, instead, current political leadership is focused on blaming immigrants and asylum seekers for their failure to invest and build public services and infrastructure.

We're meant to be countering hate and division, bringing people and communities together, not dividing societies as the tool to enter and stay in public office.

We either improve the quality of our democracies, or watch as our nations crumble under the pressure of division and hate: because if you're happy for them to blame asylum seekers and migrants for your woes today, don't be surprised if they end up blaming you for the woes tomorrow. Call it out before it gets worse, because until more of us do so, little will change for the better.

Hot off the press: The Papua New Guinea Courier takes the UK's temperature.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Keir Starmer is really dangerous. He’ll win in 2025 and refuse to spend any more on public services so they will descend into chaos. In 2029 the Tories will be back saying privatisation is the only answer. And it will happen. It’s as if that’s what Starmer wants.

Memo to the BBC. Stop playing the game your enemies want you to. Relegate the Huw E story so low down the bulletins it disappears. Lead them on the story of a former PM who said he would hand over all his texts to an inquiry failing to do so in defiance of a court order 1/2

Wow

[Rachel Cunliffe @RMCunliffe]

Here's what I think is being missed about David Carrick. It's being framed as some kind of horrible coincidence. How awful that serial sex offender happened to be in the police. What a terrible fluke.

Except it's not a coincidence. It is baked in.

Combo of misogynoir, sexism & racism against #MeghanMarkIe on public display is sick

Likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Piers Morgan et al can spew their filth with impunity against her, be rewarded with media platforms & party with Queen Camilla. Why you ask?

Welcome to White Privilege

[CWU @CWUnews]

Royal Mail have publicly admitted they have a £1.7bn ‘war chest’ to destroy postal workers

Admin team sat here thinking how utterly inspirational, uplifting and humbling it is that 115,000 CWU members still refuse to bow down 🥹

“You’ve taken our right to study. We are not allowed to work. We now can’t exercise in a gym. Do we not have the right to do anything anymore? Why is the world not listening to us?”

Taliban’s gender apartheid regime has now BANNED women in Afghanistan from going to female gyms.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

Rishi Sunak sending out ministers to defend his indefensible reappointment of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary is straight out of the Boris Johnson playbook. Utterly depressing start to a Prime Ministership.

[Eric Idle @EricIdle]

So the Conservatives go back to the same 8,000 people and ask them for another go at who they think should be PM, is that right? This democracy thing is a lark. First they run away from Europe, then make everyone poor, and then they choose another PM. Terrific isn't it.

Why is no leader of any major political party saying this about rising fuel prices? The problem and the solution are obvious but go unspoken.

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Genuine question . Could someone please post a link to a clear explanation of why the energy price caps are being increased . Because superficially it seems that it’s providing the suppliers with colossal profits and a counterproductive dependence on dirtier fossil fuels . Thanks

Legendary team. What a great opportunity
