      I mean, if “take back control” means treat people with dignity and respect. Offering them safe routes and a welcoming speedy asylum process then, great.

      Unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s what they mean by “take back control” and that just makes me wonder who on Earth is going to offer me an actual progressive alternative to vote for at the next election.

      Can we form a Lemmy Party or something?

        Labour is still your best bet

        No one is. You cannot vote for a progressive future. The changes that we need to make to our society have to happen outside of the polling booth.

      There’s a 3 to 5 year waiting list for dental appointments where I live, and I bet there’s at least a few dentists stuck in limbo there.

    The “labour” party campaigning on a conservative policy. This is great stuff. Can’t wait for the headfirst rush towards far-right ideology that will happen when people realise that voting labour didn’t make things better. \s

    Thing is, he cannot be seen to be doing nothing. Treating the traffickers like this is a good move. It shifts the focus away from the people who are suffering.

    Now he needs to do the same with drug dealers.
