Wonderful thread.
Absolutely nobody asked for this BUT

English Anglican cathedrals that have burned down, fallen over, and sank into the swamp: a thread.

"Migrants who came to the UK on skilled work visas in 2022-23 will make a net contribution of £47bn to the public finances over their lifetime, according to new estimates from the government’s Migration Advisory Committee."

Not surprising, but some observations (1/n)

Near Ripe, yesterday
Labour’s shift away from “immigration is good but it needs to be managed” to “it is bad” is a gift to essentially everyone they compete with, because it means that they don’t have the right position to be able to attack *anyone*.
I'm sorry, but these attacks are just not going to convince Green-curious voters, because Labour is so visibly out of step with those voters' core values
This by @umakumaran.bsky.social is good - and a example of exactly how Labour should be taking on the Greens; on values, direct and on Labour territory. Taking them seriously.

I don't know that - must look it out! (Pelham House, I think?)

High tide in Lewes, yesterday

Isn't this all wonderful?
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
Why don't thou thus,
Through windows and through curtains call on us?

Gnnk. Hope it's a bit better tomorrow.
