www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n.... This is weird. Maybe, just maybe some anti- loony right bias got through but this is surely insignificant compared to the worship of of the right by episodes of Kuenssberg and Question Time which only occasionally fail to feature a Reform panel member'.

The Chancellor is blaming Brexit for the mess we're in but not making the changes needed to fix it, can you really call that a strategy?

political pressure to deal with illegal migration across the Channel is real. But a policy of redefining millions of people’s neighbours, friends and family as illegal migrants … should disqualify the party proposing it from debate in a civilised democracy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The Guardian view on Conservative immigration policy: the threat of mass expulsions is abhorrent | Editorial
Editorial: Tory plans to revoke indefinite leave to remain in pursuit of greater ‘cultural coherence’ resemble the most extreme ambitions of far-right fringe parties

Here’s a thought. In 1975? 67% of voters supported continued membership in the European Economic Community (EEC), reflecting significant public backing for the UK's role in Europe. By 1994, the Referendum Party was campaigning for another referendum. Therefore, the Brexit promoters have

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.
At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.
The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

Why any party leader would want to turn what was once a broad church into an even narrower sect than it's already become, who knows? I've almost given up trying to understand her, tbh - except as a performance artist, maybe.

Not to make light of the editorial failure, but look how far Twitter lies now permeate in to normal discourse. We think we know about the racism but the utter contempt for truth since Musk bought the platform is deliberate & very dangerous. You can’t foment racism with fact checkers in the building.
Oh my god.
Have I Got News For You just referred to this completely false claim as a fact!!

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

I am so pleased that the UK leaders of my Church (Salvation Army) signed the letter from church leaders condemning the misuse of Christian symbols at the Tommy Robinson rally in London a couple of weeks ago.
