Hadn’t, in truth, really absorbed the scale of what the Conservatives are proposing on ILR and immigration more broadly until this week’s Sunday Times interviews. Some thoughts on that in today’s note:

Tory deportation plan would upend Britain

Proposing such a radical bill with little public support is a gift to Nigel Farage

This needs to change. Mass rights stripping and deportation proposals are not normal politics. People needs to be informed about what is being proposed and what it would mean. The proposed legislation has been published and the implications are very clear.

her policy has still been ignored by the FT, the BBC, The Times and oddly also those newspapers further to the Right that presumably welcome it. Other than the Guardian, only Sam Leith in the Spectator has felt the official turn of the Tory Party towards ethnic cleansing to be worthy of note

She‘ll be in and on all those outlets shortly as „a rising star“. If clicks and readers/viewers are generated none of them will care less how dangerous or immoral the policies are.

It seems that the Leader of the Tories also may have failed to read their own paper.

Why should Labour leadership read and respond to the papers the Tory leadership can’t be bothered to read and have no power to implement?

Which probably means they've been sat on her desk for the last 2 weeks but she hasn't been bothered to read them until now.

Maybe they wanted the focus to be on the people saying it, not the labour reaction.

Can’t take the bugs out that they’ll build in. Might you need to build a new White House?

I bought a stack of wood to make a fire as it’s cold and I’ve also become my Dad. It’s made me very happy.

Perhaps with the (paid) help of Farage to advise on where best to become an economic migrant to avoid one's fair share of taxes?

If so, I expect he had his fingers crossed.

Maybe we should aspire to be more Scandi and less Saudi?

Fascism cannot endure ridicule or absurd satire because its power depends on fear, obedience, and the illusion of infallibility. Laughter punctures that illusion, mockery exposes the tyrant’s fragility, stripping away the pomp and terror to reveal only vanity and insecurity beneath.

How are they going to have time for the other culture if they are rowing the Thames, going to all the top tier British sports events and cultural events? There’s barely a weekend off to see the Bolshoi, military parades, Cossack Festival or Judo events.

Too busy baby.

If any Labour MPs are reading (go on, you know you want to), as someone trying to hire six new Oxford professors in AI / experiments / big data / all the stuff you say you want, I would really appreciate knowing if new hires can, you know, stay in the country they move to... current policy is chaos
