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.

The difficulty is that itβs 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. βEvidenceβ just stated with no coherence; prejudices masquerading as βsimple truthsβ; 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.

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.

If the USA stop sending resources to one side in a war and instead use those resources at home, thatβs 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.
