    Just out of court on a case where the Home Office wants to remove a 78 year old woman with Advanced Alzheimer’s Dementia. They say she can be put in a care home in her own country for the time she has left. This is what Theresa May’s 2012 immigration rules mean.

    Fuck yes. Everything about this thread. Corbyn binds himself to a definition of "working class" as only including white northern men at his own peril, for he threatens all of us if he does so.

    Brexit, the PV, class and northern Englishness... a thread 1/ Some Shadow Cabinet ppl claiming their opposition to PV is about class and "north v south" - as if the poor of London, Bristol, York, and Glasgow are not working class? It's a very dangerous argument...

    This is a well researched thread skewering those who, today, are calling for a "no deal" EU withdrawal and somehow claiming that this is what "the people want." They are fanatics, wishing real, substantial harm on the people of the UK, based on an extremist ideology.

    Hello Mr Morgan, I’ve just seen this tweet. I don’t know if you were out of the country at the time, but let me respectfully explain why this isn’t a fair reflection of what the referendum was about, and therefore what people "voted for"....

    I want freedom of movement for the whole world, because no one is illegal.

    Sorry folks, but a progressive, internationalist party that opposes Freedom of Movement is not a progressive, internationalist party. It is telling everyone but the rich, who can always buy FoM, “That world out there, is not for you. Shut up and be happy with your lot here.”

    Jeremy Corbyn’s spokesman on whether retaining free movement will be one of his demands in talks with May: “Freedom of movement ends when we leave the EU and we will replace it with fair management of migration.”

    Not surprising, still disappointing.

    Labour confirms it wants to end freedom of movement

    I suspect that underlying Brexshit anxiety is thedawning realisation that if those in power so royally fuck up an entirely revocable problem, how the HELL are they going to manage a just, timely & meaningful transition to a low carbon society? They aren't. It's up to us.

    We'll wake up sometime middle of next week, everything Brexit will be decided, Theresa May will address the nation with the result and then say, in a decided and bright tone of voice, "and now for something completely different" and start talking about coastal erosion.

    Really, it's perfect British humour. Keep repeating the slightly odd and annoying thing until the repetition itself becomes the joke.

    At this point, you gotta admit it's quite funny.

    She is attempting to pull Corbyn and Labour into the negotiations to tar them with the consequences of her failure. She is pushing the EU to abandon their clear position on another extension to make it look like we are victims.

    Solar, wind, and batteries are about to enter their third, most disruptive phase yet. There's reason to believe their growth will accelerate, not slow. & that we'll phase out fossil fuel electricity at an incredible pace. A threid based on this post: 1/

    I’ve tried to stay out of this beef, but fuck it... If you position migrants as an opposing force to the working class, colluding with elites to push down wages, you’re not a socialist. You just like your racism with a side portion of renationalised utilities.

    No Conservatives bothered to turn up to debate our 6 million strong Revoke Article 50 petition 😢😡

    Everyone who signed the Revoke A50 petition will find it as disgusting as I did to learn that not a single MP was present when it was debated today. Not one.

    This is the estate I grew up on, this isn’t new, it was happening then. This isn’t about ‘better’ policing. Continue to ignore the real issues like child poverty, systemic racism, deprivation, austerity and we’ll continue to see lives lost.

    Tell me again that Brexit isn't racist. I've been told so many damn times that it's "not just about immigration" but here's Labour's one and only indelible red line, at the 11th hour when all the cards are clearly on the table. This is a permanent mark.
