Good to see the Conservative Party committed to keeping the deficit down by *checks notes* spending £2 billion giving tax breaks for private education, creating a massive new deportation force and pledging to maintain pensioner benefits.

Given Kemi Badenoch has supposedly renounced Trussonomics, there’s an awful lot of multi-billion pound tax giveaways, predicated on *extremely* optimistic cuts and savings.

Almost as if she knows she’s never going to have to try to actually deliver any of this.

Sorry, but if you're saying those implausible and shallow Kemi Badenoch announcements constitute a good speech then you're part of the UK's political problem.

Same half-baked "tax cut good / international commitments bad" bearing no resemblance to well formed policy.

Weird how they put all their efforts into using technology to replace human creativity and art and then say creative arts degrees are useless.

It's properly unconscionable that the Home Office has created this situation. It should never have been allowed to happen and once it did happen it should have been immediately reversed.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

I see that most of the "OMG Javier Milei has performed an economic miracle in Argentina OMG I Heart Maggie" crowd - predictably, since it did the same with Lis Truss - has switched to "tEh PrObLeM iS MiLEi wOz NoT fRee mArKet eNouGh".

How many times must these utter fools fail before they get it?

The "values we grew up with here in the west" can not in this interpretation include anything on democracy, freedom of speech or freedom of religion.

So primarily order + hierarchy. Candy (born 1973) does seem 10-35 years too young to recall v socially conservative attitudes to women + gay people

It is simply mad for people to say "integration matters" while proposing a segregated petrostate that does not want integration (just a transactional extractive relationship with exploited gastarbeieter & a hotel model for some affluent guests) as a vision for non-settlement, non-citizenship here!

The UAE is an authoritarian autocracy, a petro-state with no income tax for citizens, to bribe them for the lack of democratic voice or free speech

It is 85% migrant, a segregated society with a ban on integration in principle and practice, few rights, equal opportunities, nor voice for incomers

All these people really want is to pay no taxes and be treated with floor scraping deference. Everything else is just bullshit in pursuit of that goal.
