Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news.
Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters
Down by 140k isn't thought to be.
Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

The Trump Effect: Australia Edition
Zoom out to the last election. Labor might now exceed its two-party preferred vote when it was elected (52.1%), making it the only first-term Australian government ever to do that (according to Antony Green).

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

Well, as America implodes from within, it’d be a *great* time for the EU to finally do official Eurobonds. It’d likely be very attractive as a safe haven given the destruction of US hegemony & spillover to US T-bills. Bonus: Eurobonds can finance a desperately needed European security build up! 🇪🇺💶 ‼️

One of the things we learnt during Trump term one is that corruption committed openly and without shame gets less coverage because there's no opportunity for EXPOSES, SCOOPS, and EXCLUSIVES.
It's just there, gets reported, and on we go.
