What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be.
It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

London is also diverse. It's hugely multicultural, and it's a largely tolerant and welcoming place.
Sure it has it's problems and the housing crisis is a big one.
But the haters don't hate this city because of that.
They hate it because it stands as living proof that multiculturalism works.

Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
Reform UK’s Lee Anderson wants to bring back the ‘invalid carriage’.
The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire.

There are bigger longstanding issues as to why United can’t beat Brentford away and they shouldn’t be relying on refereeing calls, but it doesn’t change the fact this should’ve been a red card and would’ve changed the outcome of the game had it been given. Appalling.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride.

It was pretty sneaky of the TDS Libs to make this obvious fake letter and put it in a book in 2003, knowing that Jeffrey Epstein would later be revealed as a paedophile, in order to embarrass a tv gameshow host who would himself later decide to run for president after Obama mocked him at a dinner.
