Then why suddenly implement nazi style policy?
Why not just debunk the racist lies?

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.
UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours
No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)
UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)
Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.

Heading into a week where we give our first live performance of #AChristmasCarol at #LeedsPlayhouse in front of 850 people. 😮
A bit nervy, a bit exciting!
It’s easy to forget, as a performer, that every single person out there in the audience is willing you to succeed.

Afternoon all, went to the pool today with the intent of only doing a short distance but I felt so good I decided to thrash out 1100m.
I'm getting closer and closer to the finish and I feel great.

Such lovely people these flag shaggers are.
Flags belong on Public Buildings and international venues.
Not Johnny Seigheil's nearest telegraph pole.

This is exactly what the far right such as Farage want, people to be intimidated & bullied
These flags are put up without permission, are sinister, weathered & are being used for racist causes so should be taken down
Our England or Union Jack flags are supposed to represent inclusion & diversity

If you're a Labour PM with a very weird advisor, whose advice is always "look, the people want Nazism and we have to give it to them," you're probably best binning that advisor sharpish and becoming an actual Labour PM.

Not a half-baked gesture at all. Tidal has much better quality and pays artists four times as much as Spotify.
I just switched from Spotify to Tidal as a half-baked ethical gesture and maybe this is some sort of aural placebo effect but the difference in sound quality is startling, as though Spotify plays everything through a sock. Or am I just imagining this

Indeed. The BBC is in my view one of Britain‘s most important institutions. It is imperfect.
Everything is.
You destroy it at your peril.
If ever there was a time to rally around something very British, it is now.

And btw as I’ve written I’m not necessarily convinced BBC should survive in its current form. But I’m far more sure, partly because I’m an actual patriot, that its demise shouldn’t come at the hands of a foreign head of state.

I have yet to visit Korea (2026), but I am acutely aware that while they are streets ahead in infrastructure, technology and even skincare they are lagging behind when it comes to equality.
