Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

What went right this week: the good news that matters The world got a new national park city, the β€˜Oscars of science’ revealed its winners, and medical history was made, plus more good news

Bravo Chattanooga!

β€œA city once dubbed β€˜the dirtiest in the US’ has been designated North America’s first national park city... a citizen-led cleanup and environmental legislation helped to revitalise riverfronts and transform former industrial sites into parks and trails”
