- Island of strangers? PM’s immigration speech Starmer’s immigration speech echoed Powell and Farage, fuelling xenophobia instead of fixing Britain’s broken systems @northeastbylines.co.uk northeastbylines.co.uk/news/opinion...
- "My son, Reese, is studying Marine Ecology and Environmental Sciences at the University of Maine... But today’s America is not a safe place for someone like him, a future scientist who happens to be trans, autistic, and gay." Melanie Sovran Wolfe writes our latest letter from America
- ✍️ Ineligible, inept and unspeakable Reform UK Ltd’s councillors, are already proving they are unfit or unwilling to serve By David Goff @yorkshirebylines.co.uk
- My autistic trans son deserves a future in science – not a target on his back “Here I am… watching my home country spiral into a nightmare of exclusion, extremism, and targeted cruelty, so yes, I am desperate to get my son out before it’s too late.” @northeastbylines.co.uk
- “I woke up with a sense of dread…” A moving, deeply personal account from an EU citizen in Cambridge on how Labour’s new rhetoric is shaking people’s sense of belonging. Don’t miss this powerful open letter. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @cambsforeurope.bsky.social
- Migration didn’t break the care system. It held it up. Yvette Cooper says overseas recruitment must stop – but without rebuilding wages, housing and training, then what? Learn why this matters – and what Labour isn’t saying | The Bear @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
- Left or right? Labour’s problem isn’t direction - it’s disconnection. Economically insecure voters are leaving the party in both directions. A bold new analysis by MP Jeevun Sandher lays out the real reason, and a way forward | Stephen McNair @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social
- If Labour won’t defend the principle of immigration, it’ll keep losing the argument, and voters. Yvette Cooper’s interview with Kuenssberg showed just how far the party's shifted. Read how Labour is retreating on immigration without a plan. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
- Big Top Boogie Let the unfunny clown tell you how to boogie in the circus he created | Diana Ward @dmward.bsky.social @sdupp.bsky.social
- In a letter to the editor, a resident points out that in the recent elections, a winner was elected by just 23% of voters; backed by less than 1 in 10 of the electorate. What does that say about our democracy? 🔗 Read what he has to say ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

- 1 in 4 of people who bothered to vote, but only 1 in 10 of all those eligible to vote. Very low turnout amongst the electorate is a major democratic issue, too.
