Immigration has already dropped by half under Starmer. Check it out. The media aren't telling people that. They're obsessed with people coming on boats. Starmer is tackling that problem at every point in the chain. This approach will of course be successful, but it takes time.

Jeremy Corbyn party could make the UK rejoin EU 'The UK's entrance to the EU is through Jeremy Corbyn'

....... 'cause he did such a great job promoting the Remain cause in 2016?

So Trump has fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics after job numbers were lower than expected - lower thanks to his own regime’s policies.

When museums remove paintings that might offend the ruler, universities are told who they can/can’t recruit, judges are told what judgements to make and citizens are seized and spirited away from the streets by armed masked people…

The difficulty is that it’s a self-fulfilling narrative that has been woven through schools and newspapers for generations. Largely absent of fact and very blind to large chunks of real history but as with all snake oil salesmen designed to offer hope and comfort to people who are hurting.

That is a truly awful article. β€˜Evidence’ just stated with no coherence; prejudices masquerading as β€˜simple truths’; and no actual engagement with the pedagogical consequences of adopting a trauma-informed view or otherwise taking account of ACES when engaged in learning and teaching. Plain bad.

I support the grown up current government and will give them time to correct the longstanding problems they face - but stop cuddling up to that tangerine narcissist in the USA and start building real bridges to the biggest trading bloc in the world on our doorstep.
Support is always conditional.

Scottish Government find themselves in something of a dilemma. They want to support Ukraine but they don’t want to be involved in manufacturing the ordinance Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Hmmm…

Mr Carney doesn’t present as a dragon slaying hero - but he has got them over the line in a remarkable victory.
Lessons too for people here who have been pushing Labour to be more radical - the Canadian Left moved to the centre in a common sense move against a common enemy.
Just as it should have.

Given the otherwise idiotic nature of the policy, one assumes that the true and more straightforward game being played here is create the crisis, make the share buys; remove the crisis and take the profit.
Simple and crooked.

Your posts land regularly in the inbox and I recognise your patriotism but do you have any numbers to show that we’d be β€˜one of the richest countries in Europe’? It’s a thought that might occur after sampling a fair measure of Islay product but I’m not so sure if it holds up during the hangover…

Rubio must be on borrowed time. Historically fell out with Trump years ago, a public spat with the tech adolescent and now agreeing a deal with Ukraine that Putin won’t like (and will complain about to Trump).
He’ll be lucky to see Easter….

Leave aside the very dubious love fest with the nation that generations of Americans were taught to hate, and the betrayal of a thirty year old post nuke promise to a key ally - did American voters really sign up in November for a war with Canada?
Time for the worm to turn.

Looking at the crazier and crazier social media posts from the narcissist tangerine , you have to ask - β€˜When did the land of the brave and free get an Emperor instead?’

If the USA stop sending resources to one side in a war and instead use those resources at home, that’s wrongheaded but at least has isolationist logic.
If the USA stop sharing their intelligence with that side in the war, & meet & plan separately with the other side, then the USA has switched sides.
