All of us.... every single last one of us... are descended from immigrants. And without it, this country would just be a bunch of uninhabited islands on the edge of the world. Everything that built this country... and everything it is... springs from that. And we should embrace it, not decry it.

They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing
Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

1. Whenever you see really vicious and widespread "spontaneous" attacks on scientific findings that challenge powerful economic interests, you can be assured that corporate lobbyists have been busy behind the scenes.

Wes Streeting MP is talking tosh.
In a democracy little is ever "settled", and certainly not a decision made in an advisory referendum that most voters now view as a mistake and a failure.
Labour need to take the Brexit blinkers off before they crash the UK.
Found Adolescence a properly adult, complex, humane drama. To see it whittled down into 'ban phones in school' is so depressing.

Don't add 10% to USA imports, agreed, it just hurts us.
But immediately call off trade deal talks. Immediately call off state visit.
THE biggest thing we can do to hurt Trump and Putin, is to immediately apply to join the EU.
