As someone who was in local Government it is sadly too common for opposition parties to claim that there is a magic hidden pot of money which councillors/officers have simply ignored.

The reason councils of all stripes have had to increase council tax is because the funding model is broken.

the good news for Kemi Badenoch is that she's actually being handed on a silver platter an opportunity to partially detoxify her party without needing to do anything other than appear non-toxic

the bad news is that she is Kemi Badenoch

2025 might be nearly over but it’s not too late to start revising for 2026

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.

These ones I think

Wow Chris Mason will be absolutely furious when he finds out who the BBC Political Editor is

The invective that Daisley hurls at Muslims he would have hurled at my great-grandparents when they came here and indeed much of it is still true of the ethnic group he slobbers over. 'Aggressive integration policies' do not work in France and would diminish Jewish life here in the UK.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

"I hear again and again that the Israelis – the Jews – had it coming. Knowing allusions to Jewish influence, Jewish power. Stereotypes of Jewish cruelty."

Written before today's attack on a Manchester synagogue. It's the kind of piece I never thought I'd write.

Thank you to the GMP officers who, it seems, prevented the terrorist hurting anyone else. And thank you to the CST volunteers who protect British Jews every day. For those doing so, wishing them an easy fast.

Let’s cut through the bullshit pretence around free speech. At best that is motivated reasoning, at worst it is hate-mongers using liberalism they despise as cover while laughing at our free society.

Every individual, every organisation and public body committed to peaceful politics in the UK needs to stop posting on it. You know the mantra: The best time to do that was months ago, the second best time is now.

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate
