But Labour MPs can’t put on hi-vis and a hard hat to visit for a photo opp, so they don’t count this as work and they don’t count these as jobs with saving
Every sympathy for University of Essex (and pressures facing them) but this is very bad news for Southend.

Seems UK has same dynamic as US. Left struggles to get elected & is thus fearful of taking ANY risk, alienating their base. Right takes any margin of electoral victory as a mandate to charge unapologetically even further to the extreme. This scenario makes progress impossible & regress more likely.

Everything that is terrible and incompetent about this Labour government in one swoop. They announce something as good and as positive news for music fans but destroy all this good will coverage with the performative cruelty of their asylum reforms on the same day. share.google/ajQXDnqsPkXS...

The difference between #Kuenssberg interviewing Patel and Phillipson was night and day. Just let Patel run roughshod despite already been sacked for doing back channel for the Israeli government, so you know your not getting balance or nuance when it comes to the Gaza protests.

Obviously didn't like the red arrows or the chicken ballantine then.
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

Had to look up what Tylenol was. It's literally just paracetamol. Imagine if they tried to ban it here? There would be actual riots.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.
It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.
We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.

I suppose Rayner can now sell her posh flats in Glasgow, her Chelsea mews house and £19m London townhouse, plus her yacht, while she works out how to get the National Crime Agency to unfreeze £75m of her assets.
My bad, that's Michelle Mone.
