When things started working, when city centres began to smarten up and thrive, after 1997 it was, for a while, genuinely shocking. It was not the Britain we'd grown up in. But we threw it all away again - and the people responsible are telling us to blame immigrants.
Absolutely this. The UK in the 1980s was so much more violent and so much dirtier than it is now. The public domain was in a state of collapse. Communities across the industrial Midlands and North, in Wales and in Scotland had been abandoned. We're still paying the price now.
Jenrick's "rough and tumble" comments about the 1980s are part of a wider collective forgetting. The 1980s were a pretty grim time. The country seemed to wake up in the mid-1990s but until then everything felt stuck and aggressive (not least, football hooliganism).

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

I'd take any Labour leader who can get enough seats at the next GE to keep the right out. But I do not see how the NEC is going to allow Burnham to stand in a by-election that will inevitably be framed as the start of his campaign to unseat Starmer - because that is exactly what it will be!

It’s not like we don’t all know how things are going to go:
1. Mandelson clings on.
2. Starmer expends yet more of his limited political capital supporting him.
3. The media drip-drip yet more eye-watering revelations, most of which they’ve been saving up for ages.
4. Mandelson eventually resigns.

In this Ohio diner, the Supreme leader still means uppity, ungrateful Diana Ross. But they do know this: If Ayatollah Khamenei wants the war to end, he will convert Iran's national currency to $TRUMP Coin.

The parents or public school children simply need to work harder and not rely on State handouts
I suggest they take up a second job in the evening such as a cleaner or bar worker
If they can afford a mobile phone then they can afford the VAT
