Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social You recently played a voice clip on TRIP by a young man who said he was politically homeless, ruling out Corbyn's, Farage's, Starmer's and Badenoch's parties one by one but no mention of the rapidly growing LibDems or Greens from him or from you. How were they missed?

Inane "we need to train OUR young, not rely on migrants" Newsnight chat.

Median age was 37 in 2000, 41 today, will be 45 by 2050. Birthrate is 1.4 (minimum, just to tread water is 2.1). Immigration is a function of demography. Haldane knows this. We're not running out of skills, but out of people.

We were able to spend 182 consecutive days in our winter retirement home, see our garden crop from seed to harvest. Vote Leave lied and said nothing would change.
I wish I could do even more and be in more places at once.

But thankfully we have lots of followers and supporters who write to their MPs, meet them and explain how loss of Freedom of Movement and things like the 90-in-180-day problem affect their lives today.

We need to counter the destruction of the rain forests by planting more deciduous trees everywhere. Green is good.
Oxygen is released into the atmosphere during photosynthesis. At night, some is consumed again by the tree. But the tree releases more oxygen than it needs itself. Deciduous forests release 15 to./year/ha of oxygen, coniferous forests up to 30 to./year/ha into the atmosphere.🌳🌲

This, from Le Monde, is truly shocking:
killer heatwaves threaten to make large swathes of Europe, France included, too hot for humans and other animals, and too hot to grow food.

Nigel Farage wants energy-rich Scotland to become poorer by taking away vital support like free prescriptions and free tuition. And he has openly discussed privatising the NHS.

Only the SNP can beat him in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse on 5th June.

Starmer told UK must repeal hate speech laws to protect LGBT+ people or lose Trump trade deal.

Plus sacrifice the NHS, food and environmental standards, worker rights. Who governs?

No thank you. Don't want to be the 51st state, or US slaves.

Better to join the EU and Single Market.

‘Good chance’ of agreement, says JD Vance – but sources say his concerns over Britain’s hate speech laws ‘are still a red line’

The independent regulator has announced a £2,500 pay rise for MPs.

At a time when disabled people are facing the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, this is simply wrong.

I’ll be donating mine to charities supporting disabled people in Coventry & across the country.

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33%

Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.
