If a sizeable number of people in Britain believe immigration harms the country the government’s job is to reeducate them not to use their prejudices as the policy making springboard. It’s a Labour government founded on the principles of socialism, compassion and solidarity not expedient cruelty

Just two decades ago, China had little capacity to manufacture cars — and owning one was considered a novelty.
Today, China produces and exports more cars than any other country in the world.
Meanwhile we in Europe still pretend we can somehow stop EVs from taking off by holding on to old tech.

Most women will be attacked/killed by their partner. Up to 60% (ONS).
If not their partner, the chances of it being someone they don’t know is very low.
But a recent study found a distinct over-representation of domestic abusers in, yes, the race rioters. Nearly half.

Everytime you go in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etc, 5% of the money you spend goes straight to their profits.
Before 2022 it was 1.25%.
But free breakfasts for schoolchildren is what is ripping you off?
