The thing about Labour (not just Jess Phillips) is that they reopened the Grooming Gangs story to engage in some good oldfashioned islamophobia and they'll be damned if they let some uppity *CSA surviviors* make it about police corruption.

It's called being British. Don't like it, there's the door (door is broken and covered in mangled construction tape. It's started to show signs of moulding and is also host to a family of woodlouse)
It’s still weird that you have multiple parties running on making the country so shite no one will want to live here
"The honest truth is that people come to this country because they believe we are more generous than other European countries"
- little evidence for this claim
+ good evidence against it
We will "ensure we are no longer the destination of choice"
- v hard to give a definition that this is accurate

I remember when everyone agreed austerity was essential to protect the government's AAA credit rating, which we subsequently lost anyway

We talk a lot about smartphones making people reclusive and unable to meet irl, but really what needs more paying attention to is how many new forms of smartphone mediated anti social behaviour nobody knows how to deal with
There was someone in double Burberry at the hotel protest in Exeter who was apparently doing "audits" for a YouTube channel, filming people in an annoyingly aggro way. Apparently crowdfunding for afaict unrelated police troubles.

The appropriate response to this one - yet again, about Bolshevik traitors conspiring with Them to pollute, undermine and presumably overthrow the nation - is to ask whose Kampf this is, and: is it mine?
This 'anonymous memo' has Glassman and Walney's fingerprints all over it and is laden with swivel-eyed conspiracism and paranoiac blade-sharpening. If this is what passes for political insight in the Labour Party, they are beyond saving.

The Reform vision of the UK is Dubai but without the glamour. It really is that simple, and it’ll take years for lobby journalists on six figure salaries to figure this out

If a working-class performer gets successful and promotes progressive politics we're told they're an "out of touch elitist" and working-class fans that like what they're saying are exercising "the politics of envy".
There's no amount of wealth that allows you to be progressive in the eyes of some.

David Blunkett is out here saying they need to get rid of human rights so they can be more awful to foreigners, and I ask the crowd: knowing what we know about David Blunkett, who is surprised by this?

This abuse happened between the mid 1990s and early 2000s. In 1997 the South Yorkshire police had a case thrown out of court, after it transpired that they had made the Black male suspect stand in an identity parade alongside *eight white men in blackface*.

God, the number of people who were willing to believe that the South Yorkshire police were too woke to prosecute sexual abuse cases, when in fact the police force was itself an instrument of patriarchal sexual violence. It’s like a case study in the worst excesses of the British press.

Looked back at Spain's setpieces during this tournament and it's something to watch today. Claudia Pina outswingers from the left to the back post for Paredes a particular area of danger. Spain have been very dangerous from corners and it's slipped under the radar.
