They’re assuming reducing net migration is a good in itself?

And that means Starmer as well as Mahmood.

The Home Office also recognise that this may have an impact on user of care services who are likely to be older people and those with disabilities. The Home Office believes that despite these points the changes are justified for a number of policy reasons including reducing net migration and ending reliance on overseas recruitment.

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

I admire your patience

Perhaps fans on either side of the Slavia Prague fans can be given special pride flags to wave at them…

How on earth can a foreign club come to London and demand home fans take down a Pride flag, because otherwise the away fans might commit crimes?

But the good news is, by doing this, we defeated racism in the UK.

Stupid he is, promoting AI…

I didn’t mean that X, much though I agree! 🙂

I love that film

Ok, reading about Starmer’s brown-nosing means I’ll be listening to the Dropkick Murphys and Stiff Little Fingers on the bus.

I think that’s called bollocks.

AI slop?

Damn, no-one ever raised a newborn before.

We’re, not were, dammit

Oh, in particular areas like finance were still significant. Not in foreign policy.

That merely means it’s possible, not that it could be assumed. The public message also matters a lot!

Sorry, no time! Teaching… you can find it on my timeline.

Why are you assuming that?

New, apparently

What Starmer could have said is ‘well, actually immigration is one of the things that has helped many countries to stay ‘viable’, whatever that might mean.’

I expected them to be weak, I didn’t expect them to be this bad.

Yes, and one is deeply insulting to an important and honourable man, and the other isn’t.

Oh yes
