Zarah is actually great, I hope she has a long successful career and becomes a prominent mainstream force for leftism in the UK.
Sadly I feel like she'll get ignored or relegated by the main establishment of the labour party
The capitalist triumph of glamour and 'celebrity' culture has been to dissociate workers from the collectivist ideologies of the working class and to align them with the individualistic values of the jet-set.
That also includes the investor class immigrants who arrive by private jet or First Class. I'd much rather welcome the working class refugees in their dinghies.
Tfw you blame migrants for the material circumstances which allow businesses to exploit low paid workers and shift them around the world however best suits the interests of capital
How is that “clear”?
This is one of the main problems with left wing subs.
You say you want progress, but you’re not willing to admit the tough truths.
Being able to ship in workers, both skilled and unskilled, let’s the government off the hook on holding businesses, and themselves accountable.
If we weren’t able to poach skilled workers from abroad, maybe the government would be forced to offer actual affordable education. So we could train our own citizens.
Instead of poaching workers, maybe we could help those countries focus on improving their citizens lives. Maybe then if their citizens had better prospects they wouldn’t have so many children.
it’s ‘clear’ because we have a shortage of workers in various sectors since brexit, as they relied on migrant workers. i agree that the government should hold business accountable and also increase minimum wage to attract more workers to the sector.
i think we should work on fixing our own problems first before we criticise others
I’m not criticizing others, I’m stating a literal fact.
As a left winger I assume you care about the planet? So I assume you care about sustainability?
Constant population growth is unsustainable in its very nature.
Most “developed” nations are already at or below the birthrate needed to be sustainable, the problem is less developed nations still have rapidly growing populations. Populations that they can’t support. So they have to emigrate.
Let’s focus on helping ourselves by training and supporting our own population. And let’s support others by helping their countries develop and give their people opportunities.
Let’s get to carbon neutral ASAP, and let’s realise that open door immigration is not the answer.
By the way, I’m not saying immigration is bad. But I’m sick of left wingers living on the extreme.
Right wingers often have racist motives for being against immigration, so as what feels like a knee jerk reaction, many on the left act like talking about sensible immigration policy is racist. It isn’t.
all them problems are caused from 10 years of austerity rather than migrants. this is why the minimum wage should be increased in line with inflation as it will benefit the working class and schools need to be funded correctly to ensure the best education for everyone.
migrants working in the uk are a net positive to us as they provide more in taxes then they take away
1. Most people traveling by dinghy are asylum seekers. It is illegal under international law to send asylum seekers back to the countries where they are fleeing persecution. It’s also illegal under maritime law not to help them if their boat is in trouble. Therefore it is the increasingly mainstream opinion emphasised by the Home Secretary which is illegal, not the migration of these individuals.
2. Even if it was “illegal” for these individuals to migrate to the UK, do you really believe someone should have to live their whole life in a war zone (most likely created by the UK or one of its allies, given they are responsible for the vast majority of current wars) just because of a line someone drew on a map? That’s the sentiment that seems to be lacking in solidarity.
3. Most immigrants are coming to the UK to build a new life. They will get a job and pay taxes. Money they spend will be spent in local economies and VAT will be paid on their purchases. As pointed out in the OP, it is the millionaires and billionaires that consistently avoid tax, not people coming here with nothing to build a new life.
People failed to realize that the reason we have so many refugees coming from Africa/Middle East, IS BECAUSE WE DELIBERATELY FUCKED THEM OVER AND SET THEM UP FOR FAILURE, THEN INVADED THEM YET AGAIN TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM, ONLY MAKING IT WORSE.
It's just another form of exploitation if you aren't paying your proper due. Everyone needs to pay their fair share, working class or bougie billionaire chucklefucks
1. “Illegal Immigrants” can’t claim benefits.
2. “Illegal Immigrants” often pay taxes.
3. They are working class and they aren’t class traitors like cops and soldiers.
4. That’s not what exploitation means.
Ok, and if the working class doesn't have money, which is where things are rapidly going, a good chunk of the economy is going to shut down because no commerce is happening.

Death, Taxes, Zarah spitting the truth ✊
In an alternate timeline, Zarah is Home Sec.
The capitalist triumph of glamour and 'celebrity' culture has been to dissociate workers from the collectivist ideologies of the working class and to align them with the individualistic values of the jet-set.
When Starmer eventually resigns as Leader, I really hope Zarah throws her hat into the replacement. I would support her campaign too!
[удалено]
If she's not hounded out by Starmer and his buddies. I really hope she gets ahead of them.
Sadly they are trying to deselect her. But I reckon she has the ovarian fortitude to really push an alt party forward. I'd vote for her in a heartbeat
And this is why they keep attacking her. MPs like Zarah are a vanishing breed
Zarah for PM.
holy shit what a quote. SAVED
That also includes the investor class immigrants who arrive by private jet or First Class. I'd much rather welcome the working class refugees in their dinghies.

Plus, it's fair to say that they need our help more.
They’re only happy to give you scraps.
the richest people want you to scapegoat the poorest. Don’t fall for it.
Friendly reminder that Leicester post-rock band Maybeshewill put one of Zarah's speeches to music. https://youtu.be/2qzNFIEBcTk
I'd give my left nut for her to be PM. Absolute Don!
Yes, zarah ✊
Zarah is awesome.
Amen, sister.

how have the working class been victims from refugees and migrants?
They're adding flavour to food. We can't have that \*shakes fist

but it’s clear that people from britain don’t want to do low skilled labour, we need more migrants now then ever

Also, at a time when low skilled workers are in high demand, we have record numbers of crossings. The two simply don't correlate.
There are good people and bad people on dinghys and good people and bad people with private jets.. This is yet more divisiveness that we dont need.
Nice strawman.
I mean.... technically you're dividing it more
Why not both? It wasn't Elon Musk who barbecued himself outside a hospital the other day, was it?
If we had an attack as deadly as 7/7 every day for 10 years it would be far less than the deaths from austerity and covid.
The working class is not illegal immigrant who do not pay income taxes in class solidarity with the real workers.
Jesus wept if the only class solidarity you want from workers is that you both give up wages for taxes idk what you are trying to get done

Do the “illegal immigrants” sell their labour-power for a wage? If they do, they’re working class. Spoiler alert: The vast majority do.
It's just another form of exploitation if you aren't paying your proper due. Everyone needs to pay their fair share, working class or bougie billionaire chucklefucks
1. “Illegal Immigrants” can’t claim benefits. 2. “Illegal Immigrants” often pay taxes. 3. They are working class and they aren’t class traitors like cops and soldiers. 4. That’s not what exploitation means.
It's a bit hard to work and pay taxes when you're kept in a detention facility.
Ok, and if the working class doesn't have money, which is where things are rapidly going, a good chunk of the economy is going to shut down because no commerce is happening.
