NEW: Net migration falls sharply to 204,000 in the year to June.
That’s a fall from 649,000 in the year to June 2024. It is a drop of nearly 80% from its 2023 peak.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

The UK now has a long, shameful record of installing Home Secretaries with immigrant heritage and unreconstructed personalities.
They have not processed the racism they experienced as children and so unconsciously seek validation by imposing draconian laws on others with shared familial origination.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms.
He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Depressing. Not good enough away from home again today. We have limitations in our squad for sure but the way we set up and the lack of ambition to take the game to Forest in the 2nd half - the particularly by not bringing on DJ earlier is, unfortunately, on Farke. #lufc

If Mamdani is as Trump claims a ‘communist’ by promising free bus travel, free childcare and rent controls - all paid for by a 2% tax on the wealthiest in society, then maybe we need more ‘communists’.

That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK.

That performance from Kieffer Moore last night was as good as you are likely to see from a centre-forward. Hat-trick of superb taken goals aside, work-rate, hold-up play and passing when dropping deep - was immense - the fact that it was against Lampard’s Coventry made it even better 😃👊🏴
