Why does a billionaire living in Monaco think the UK has been ‘colonised’ by migrants? | The News Agents
Jim Ratcliffe, believed to be the seventh-richest Brit in the world, has faced backlash for claims the UK has been “colonised” by migrants. Has this language been normalised in Britain?

Labour making a £6billion policy announcement and it’s hardly getting any coverage
I know it’s quite niche, but this change will ensure the survival of numerous councils of all political persuasions
Not many people will see it & even fewer will care, despite the scale of the financial commitment

This is the multi-billion pound financial black hole left by the Tories & being sorted by Labour
Its hard to understate the importance of this decision

This is massive news
A huge multi billion pound investment into SEND and into local government
But it’s quite niche and won’t get anywhere near the coverage it deserves
Not least because few journalists care about SEND pupils or Labour successes
