It's only been five years, but it's amazing how quickly we've forgotten that the people who really affect ours lives positively are medics, farmers, shop workers, etc, and not entrepreneurs, billionaires, etc

The chief horror is the rewriting of the human rights gains we've made since WWII to frame only 'contributing' migrants (whether asylum seekers or not) as worthy of life & safety.
But I'm also here to call BS on the 'Britain welcomes high-skilled migrants' thing. I do not feel welcome here.

This is why it is important to call Farage and Reform what they are: racists. Force people to make an explicit choice for what they know is a shameful ideology.
Reform source: "And if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Nigel Farage seems to think that everybody his age - or who supports Reform - behaved very similarly to how he did at school

Home Office inadvertently bans historical research about the Dunkirk evacuation.
I'd hate to be a boat owner after this passes.
Imagine all the information that could be be useful for your navigation but which would ALSO be potentially useful to those guiding small boats across the Channel.
Will the Shipping Forecast cease broadcasting? That, after all, makes crossings easier.

All Starmer had to say was "The law has been interpreted in a way it was not intended and we will legislate to put it right". It was a test of character and he failed.

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today
