Looks terrible for eg my daughter's Indian boyfriend who is in financial IT after studying here. Wage is 40k ish but he's having trouble with sponsorship as his company is in a merger. He is very employable round the world and I will be beyond pissed off if this leads to my daughter moving

So there are 4 rooms but 4 available without Hazel included. I didn't hear Justin mentioned in the allocation...does he snore? Why is Lillian so desperate to shake him off? #TheArchers

Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

She is, honestly, medically, sectionable. If not Treason. What in gods' name goes on in her head beyond cash and power? She SANK our economy, my pension, yours too, 49 days.
Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias: people with low ability mistakenly believe they are more competent than they are.

This individual is a disgrace. Not satisfied with crashing the economy with her disastrous policies during her very short stint as PM here she is again spouting yet more nonsense.

"There are lots of people in Britain who are cheering President Trump on and want him to sue the BBC"
"And I believe the organisation needs to be defunded"

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

If we're talking about bias, why do BBC politics programmes, from Politics Live to the Laura Kuennsberg Show, still always begin with a look at the newspaper front pages, which are overwhelmingly biased in one direction. Helps frame the entire news agenda and debate in their favour

I continue to think that the BBC is one of Britain’s most important institutions, and it has been an honour to occasionaly contribute to their work in recent years. It has set international standards of journalism.
The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

Drives me mad that people talk about Danish immigration policy as a *political* success without bothering to look at the polls.
Aside from the crucial voting system difference, the Social Democrats over this period have haemorrhaged votes to progressive parties and are currently on course for their worst result in 110yrs, while the Green Left are set for their best ever.
The Danish People's Party are currently gaining.
