The United Kingdom now formally recognises the State of Palestine!

Among other things, this means the UK recognises its right to self-determination and sovereignty over its own affairs.

Hopefully, this helps to push events in the right direction.

I understand the whole #fightfirewithfire attitude. But this is desperately sad evidence that the fundamentals of US democracy are being permanently undermined; this will not be "temporary".
Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.

If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

This is a key table to understanding public opinion on migration. *When confronted with the real trade offs* people go for protecting the NHS and the economy over reducing migration.

The problem as per the rest of the thread is many don't believe those trade offs exist.
When presented economy vs immigration trade-offs, Britons typically opt for economic benefit over lower migration

Those who support requiring large nos of migrants to leave would pick fully staffing NHS over reducing immigration, but economic arguments hold less sway

Basically, the NHS is providing the therapists but it is the local authority who is paying for it.

And that’s a service they are responsible for paying for for children within the state school system.

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend.

He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006.

Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”.
