Shouts of 'shame' ring-out during Swindon council asylum debate A motion on housing for asylum seekers is defeated after a heated Swindon Borough Council debate.

Swindon is, overwhelmingly, a warm and welcoming place. So it was a dark day when certain councillors chose to adopt these dogwhistle policies to grab headlines. They're fighting Reform, but you don't fight populism and racism by becoming populist and racist. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reeves’s Heathrow third runway report was commissioned by London airport The chancellor is under fire after a study cited as evidence for expanding the terminal to boost the UK’s economic growth was ordered by Heathrow itself

So now we have it. Rachel Reeves's claim that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would boost economic growth comes from a report commissioned by .... Heathrow Airport. Instead of acting in the national interest, she's channelling corporate lobbyists.
