Kenrick making a conscious decision to land the phrase "our people" in his speeches. #dogwhistle loud enough for you?

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about the Home Secretarys comments that yesterdays protests about Israels actions were dishonourable (she also said they were unBritish).

Zack is spot on.

BREAKING: Shabana Mahmoud has called for pro-Palestinian protests to be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, but the government is not cancelling its arms shipments to Israel as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide x

Stop conflating the Jewish people with Israel's genocide.

Those who present opposition to Israeli war crimes as attacks on the Jewish people aren't just deeply cynical - they are dangerously irresponsible.

That's a very testy response Iain. You having a bad day, luv? There was no reference to Britain being any different to any other nation and of course, every nation has a plethora of identities. The point was there is no CORE identity because that identity is constantly changing.

There is no 'core British identity'. The culture of these islands is onion layers of invasion and immigration piled on top of each other. Nobody is from here but we all belong here.

What the fuck is wrong with #labour? Every new "policy" - if you can call them that - is an absolute carcrash of ill-conceived, inhumane bullshit.

Why the UK government can't borrow - and we should not pretend it does

But isn't the debt just deposits from these other organisations? So it isn't actually debt? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdtR...

riddle me this: The UK government pays interest on the debts it owes to the Bank and England BUT the the BOE is owned by the government who pays back these interest payments? So the idea the government is paying massive interest is bullshit?

Did #Labour go with "renew Britain" as their slogan because it was the blandest option available?

I think if this year's #rydercup has proven anything it's that #maga Americans are rude, not very bright and very bad losers. Bit like their orange demi-God.

I think it’s revealing of the current trajectory of the UK political economy that universities are told they will be allowed to go bust despite employing significantly more people than JLR, and being the engine of many local economies.
