- It is entirely legitimate for the Home Secretary to highlight the overt racism that she receives for taking part in public life.

- Everybody should oppose that racism against her, whatever their politics.

- But it is important to make several other points about this argument about racism.

Love Rishi, of all people, saying the BBC, “misjudged the nation’s mood, mishandled its people and mismanaged its own processes.” Admittedly, he's an expert on all three counts.😂
Rishi Sunak: We cannot allow the BBC to be captured by factionalism
The corporation enhances Britain’s standing and appeal, but its unique status requires a unique approach to ensuring trust. It must challenge its own failings

Las tres derechas de Chile y un electorado complejo
Quizás, más que saltar a conclusiones apresuradas, vale la pena mirar los resultados con mesura y concluir que si hay algo que define al electorado chileno actual es su complejidad y no las etiquetas ...

Research on this is clear: the uncertainty created by this policy will lead to people integrate less into British society. It is trading-off the reasonable policy goal of integration for the useless symbolism of immigration numbers. Bad policy to appease the far right.

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president confirmed he intends to sue the broadcaster for at least $1bn over the Panorama edit of a 2021 speech.

One observation re. the Dutch election is the enduring strength of the far right (I am not fully subscribing to the 'shift back to the centre' narrative). I should be on ABC Australia News channel at around 11 CET to talk about this and to show my plants (again). www.youtube.com/live/vOTiJkg...
