United Kingdom

I can’t vote, so this means fuck all to them. But you can imagine why I’m so irate about this (I’m on a Skilled visa about to have the rug pulled under me regarding indefinite leave). They need to stop pandering to Reform- punishing Skilled workers ain’t going to garner Labour any Reform voters (and it is in fact pissing off everyone); nor does this solve the boats problem. They need to stop tacking to the right, take a lesson from Democrats for gods sake.

Also here’s a thought: LEGALISE WEED AND TAX IT!
Sorry, rant over. It’s exhausting being an immigrant knowing every political party but LibDems and Greens hates your existence in the country- and I’m a white, middle-aged American woman with a PhD and a law degree (from a UK university no less) who just wants freedom to work to her skill level 🤬
