Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

In 2023 @tom-clark.bsky.social got me to write a chapter for his book on UK poverty about how immigration limbo, which Labour wants more of, makes people destitute. It was the most distressing piece I've ever worked on. We sent a copy to every MP. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/society/6081...

I'm not sure why the British Prime Minister (in this capacity) sends public condolences on the shooting of Kirk who has had no government office or public life achievement. Technically, Kirk was the co-founder & CEO of a US non-profit. It's a domestic incident. I find this diplomatically unusual.

Guess what he reckons? Oh he’s not asked about the rights & wrongs of family reunion. He wants to froth on about foreign peadophiles instead, because that where our conversation is 🤦‍♀️ #r4today

For years, people who led us to the precipice of leaving EU claimed casting off its “shackles” would allow Britain to “take back control” of its borders

Now, they rage about an immigration system they claim has spiralled out of control

Caring is tough, but it can also be beautiful. It shapes relationships in ways that last a lifetime.

If we can find the will to support carers properly, we will not only ease the strain on our health system but also make Britain a better place to live.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It was noted that JFK was the first POTUS candidate without a hat. Increasingly urbanised lives made hat wearing impractical. Although baseball caps remained popular as can fold them in your pocket.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social How about depopulation? No family friendly policies anywhere are reversing declining birthrates but no leader dare level with their electorate that it's an inevitability.
