I agree with the sentiment, but did farge actually work for RT? He made appearances and was paid for that, but how significant were the payments? 3 figure?, 4?, 5?

Broadcasters - especially the BBC - have been working hard to ensure they give a voice to the 25-35% of people willing to vote Reform (and harder groups within that, like anti-asylum protest and Tommy protest)

Need to pay as much attention to the unheard majority who fear that form of politics

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

The way this is going it could well end in a penalty shoot out decision.

Cnut. He's forgotten about Cnut, who went on pilgrimage to Rome in 1027. Oh, and Edward I, who spent 2 months at the court of Gregory X in 1273. Otherwise, all over the detail, as per.

Stephen Bush on the extraordinary draft legislation which Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, Matt Vickers, Katie Lam and backbench colleagues have proposed in parliament

It is a proposal that would seek to deport around 5% of the resident population, including over a quarter of a million with ILR

Migrants come to Britain because they think we're Europe's most generous country TODAYโ€™S small boat numbers are shameful, and the British people deserve better. They contain a lesson: we must go further and faster to secure our borders. Under the last Conservative Government, tโ€ฆ

Home Sec describes a widely held public perception (UK is the destination of choice for asylum seekers in Europe) + endorses it as true. Home Office data shows it is not true. Whatever merits of her policy change, should not make false factual claims

A British sledging party in front of Mount Erebus, as seen on a chocolate card from a pack of Fry's chocolate. 

At least I'm assuming they're British - they might just have already eaten Fido, I suppose. YES THEY REALLY DID THIS.

Captain Scott took Fry's chocolate to eat in the Antarctic whilst he pulled his sledge.

Amundsen took dogs.

I would have thought LibDem, SNP/Plaid or Green MPs writing to permanent secretary of Home Office or National Statistician might see Home Secretary asked to withdraw the inaccurate claim and replace it with an accurate claim to propose these or other policies.

Ipso might say it is comment not fact

A reminder.

Only 6.9% of people in Wales were born overseas.

Just 2.9% of people in Caerphilly were born overseas.

Whereas 38% of medical consultants in Wales were born overseas.

Immigrants are not holding our NHS back, they are propping it up.

None of that sounds chaotic or gas lighting. A level of confidentiality is of course an important requirement for the enquiry. Bullet pointed talking points before meetings.... do they mean... a meeting agenda?

Even just the threat of this becoming policy is going to damage the economy; Why make an investment whose returns depend on this not happening?

This is deranged and dangerous from the Conservatives, and similarly from Reform. If they could enact it, it would rip British society apart, destroy the economy & NHS, & make the UK an international pariah. Every decent politician & political journalist/commentator needs to push back hard.

Yep the media is hopelessly partisan. From my perspective over here, the USA media audience is also completely siloed at either end of the political spectrum, so hardly anything from 'the opposition' ever breaks through.

Thought experiment, how much of the White House could the president tear down before anyone in power did anything meaningful to stop it? Like if he just kept going?

I think if something so blatantly anti democratic happened here in the UK, the media would go crazy. I just don't understand how it is possible.
