So many bad-faith attacks on Zack Polanski.
His own partner works in palliative care!
About a third of carers are migrants.
Among other things, Labour has banned them from bringing their partners and kids here.
Labour pretending to care about them is nauseating.

Exporting problems isn’t leadership. Humanity is. We should:
👉 Fix our asylum procedures in Europe
👉 Speed up fair and voluntary returns within Europe
👉 Create safe, legal pathways so people don’t risk their lives

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.
Time to make hope normal again.

UNnatural disasters caused by fossil fuels put our human rights at risk.
People around the world, often those who have contributed least to climate change, are being killed or losing their homes to hurricanes, fires and floods.
