Fair play to them for being against the ruling, but they should refuse to comply. If anyone has leverage in this it's the W.I.

It's worth noting that the Government has a massive majority and could fix this in an instant with a one-line piece of legislation. It doesn't want to.

“Put bluntly, net migration fell because 400,000 fewer foreigners arrived, and 200,000 more foreigners left the UK. This is precisely what Reform, the Mail, and the new, nastier Tory Party have claimed – again and again – they wanted to happen. And now that it has, they have ignored it entirely.”
The crazy right will never be satisfied about migration
Keir Starmer slashed net migration as the Mail and Farage demanded - and still got hammered for it

It was only 12 years ago that the coroner at Lucy Meadows' inquest blamed the media for playing a part in her death, hounding her for daring to be a trans woman who was also a teacher. Making trans lives unliveable - making us unhirable - is recent history.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?

I'd suggest something similar is happening in Britain. Not sure generationally or just people on wages lower than about 35k life is too expensive and all you can do is survive month to month. "Going out" is a luxury
Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up.
It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to."
When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

Trump saying all of Biden's pardons are revoked is the sort of thing that could bring down the whole house. There's clearly no legal basis for it, yet he may try to use armed force to re-arrest pardoned individuals. A total breakdown of law and order.

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism.
On the other, if he's told some donors this (& the FT will have sourced this properly) you can be sure that he'd've told others the polar opposite if he thought that's what they wanted to hear.

So this is a bit weird. The Guardian has done a big ‘Who owns the UK media?’ graphic that includes all national titles + Unherd, Statesman etc.
But *not* the Observer. 🧐
Cock-up? Or implicit acknowledgment that we still don’t actually know who *does* own the Observer.

I’m imagining if it was my child - the conversations and explanations, the apologies, “I’m sorry, so sorry,” trying to comfort but feeling a failure because I couldn’t protect her from GC hate.
And the child and parents - a little bit more broken.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.
