I have asked the BBC to scrutinise + correct the factually inaccurate claims made by Mr Nigel Farage about why net migration fell in 'Political Thinking with Nick Robinson'

Here is the link if you want to do something like this.

Net migration fell year on year by 465,00 in the most recent Official of National Statisitcs figures: the year to June 2025.

Not because of an "exodus" (an increase in emigration).

Immigration fell 401k
Emigration rose 43k: that rise mostly recent non-EU migrants
British emigration did not rise.

It definitely wouldn’t be a surprise. Much in line with two leaders enjoying a geopolitical sphere of influence game and looking for economic advantage.

Sphere of influence thinking presents a mortal danger to an independent Europe. We should act accordingly

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Color me surprised! The 🍊💩 actually spoke the truth: "Trump said repealing the regulations 'has nothing to do with public health.'” It has to do with him wanting to please his fossil fuel friends and giving the Dems the🖕. He doesn't give a 💩 about public health!

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.

Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.

We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.

This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

UK, Norway, Sweden, Slovakia, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ireland

Meanwhile the U.S. President is telling Americans to move on after he appears 38,000 times with dozens of friends and associates.

It’s time for accountability!

This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors.

It’s a serious criminal offence to conspire to remove a UK Prime Minister

Meanwhile, let’s have a look at Steve Bannon’s well documented and ultimately successful attempts to remove Theresa May (with Epstein’s support) from 2018-19

4/12 If your enemy desperately wants you to do something, you should probably do the opposite.

When autocrats and oligarchs scream about "over-regulation" in Europe, it is not because they care about our economy.

It is because our rules stop them from looting it
