It's time for Starmer to abandon the race to keep up with the economy-sapping immigration policies of the man who brought us Brexit in the first place. Until he takes that step, the “severe and long-lasting” impact of leaving the EU, identified by Reeves today, will only keep getting worse.

Keir Starmer's 'Brexit Is Bad, Let's Make It a Bit Worse' Strategy

The Chancellor just admitted that Brexit has been an economic disaster. It's time the Government stopped making it even worse by imitating Nigel Farage's damaging anti-migration agenda, argues Adam Bi...

Faintly amusing that the IFS' argument to Reeves on tax reform is basically: You're fucked either way, so you might as well do something decent for the country while you're taking all this pain www.reuters.com/world/uk/uks...

UK's Reeves should use budget to reform tax system, IFS says

British finance minister Rachel Reeves should use her budget in November to carry out a long overdue reform of the taxation system which could help her to raise more revenue while limiting the hit to the economy, a think tank said on Monday.

Infantino really is a cunt. Football can’t get involved in politics he says, when it’s convenient. Then turns up in Egypt for the peace talks?

Utterly insane to be framing the current peace in Gaza (if it is a peace) as any kind of triumph for anyone. The US supplied the arms that allowed Israel to murder tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people, & could’ve stopped it at any point. First Biden, then Trump, have blood on their hands.

Now Trump turns to Israel's president and asks him to pardon Netanyahu. Major standing ovation. Netanyahu is still on criminal trial for bribery, breach of trust and fraud. Trump says "champagne, cigars... who cares?" Says this wasn't a planned part of his speech but he likes Bibi and it makes sense

This is just a symptom of a chronic rot in the whole justice system which is letting everybody - victims, offenders and the general public - down.

Ian Watkins isn’t worth mourning.

But…

The state has a duty of care to those in prison which it is spectacularly failing in meeting.

Prisons shouldn’t be environments in which it’s possible to murder someone.

The prison estate has been underfunded and irresponsibly managed for decades.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.
