That’s down from 649,000 in the year to June 2024 - a fall of around two-thirds.

The extraordinary efforts of the D Mail, BBC et al to smear Labour govt with the R Reeves non-story have been quite appalling. DM front page today — HUMILIATED REEVES — with Andrew shoved up the page was horrible but predictable.

Meet Katie Lam, Tory MP for the Weald of Kent since July 2024, who wants to emulate Idi Amin by expelling millions of legal immigrants from the UK @iandunt.bsky.social outlines the ex Goldman Sachs banker's depravity, and how it can be countered.
The Tories are morally depraved – this is what true British patriots must do
An immigration plan would see millions of people gathered up and thrown into detention centres ahead of deportation

Why is the BBC News spending 5 minutes on some explosion in Tenessee? Were any Brits involved? No. So what possible interest is it to us? Is this part of BBC nonsense trying to change focus from Europe to US?

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

While I don’t like to see anybody — other than violent criminals— go to prison, you have to commend the French for holding a politician to account. Take note Johnson, Gove, Truss, Farage…..

He is an excellent Mayor who happens to be Muslim. How about some loud verbal support for him from Starmer? Too busy playing sycophant to Trump?

Did Trump not notice the effort expended to keep him out of London — our splendid Capital City? London has the good sense to dislike him. And Sadiq Khan has reduced crime & air pollution & provided school meals for thousands of kids.

So a respected Aussie journalist has been banned by Trump from his UK press conference. Surely Starmer can invite the man, pointing out to his thin-skinned guest, that in our country we enjoy freedom of the Press.
