Robert Jenrick complained of βnot seeing another white faceβ in Birmingham neighbourhood
Shadow justice secretary criticised for suggesting he could tell how integrated Handsworth was based on short visit
Robert Jenrick is particularly vile not because of his views. He doesn't have any views. His particular loathsomeness is that he is utterly amoral in what he is prepared to say for perceived advantage, without any care for consequences.

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview
The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show
BBC now suggesting they didn't interview Zack Polanski on Laura Kuenssberg when he was elected because they weren't on air then. Which is technically true because he was elected on a Tuesday. However, they did air just days later on Sunday and featured interviews with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch

Project 2025: The Manual for Making America Obey Again (Part 1)
Heritage Foundationβs playbook for Trump 2.0 shows what happens when authoritarian ambition meets bureaucratic precision.
When I first heard about Project 2025, I thought it was conspiracy nonsense - too brazen, too cartoonishly evil to be real.
Then Trump called it βsevere rightββ¦ and started enacting it.
Part One of my two-part deep dive into the authoritarian playbook now shaping the United States.

Asylum hotel protesters 'hit in the heart' to move East Devon demo
Asylum hotel protesters in East Devon moved their demonstration after learning the plight of the migrant women and their kids housed there
This story is well worth reading. Asylum hotel protestors decided to pack up and go after learning more about the refugees inside and discovering Sidmouth and Honiton Tories had been lying about who they were.

Because we don't think it could ever happen here we are saying absolutely nothing as it happens here. If the right wins in 2029, their promise is the mass deportation of millions and the end of human rights. The right currently enjoys 50%+ support. The silence on this is absolutely extraordinary.

Keir Starmer has an election trump card that literally nobody is talking about
David Cameron did it back in 2015, Keir Starmer could do it again in 2029. With the party suffering, is it time to ask the question again?
βKeir Starmer has an election trump cardβ¦If Starmer wants to change the conversation β to turn the contest on its head β the answer might be staring him in the face. Ask the country the question again.β
