Far-right broadcaster Josh Bernstein calls for Muslim citizens to be denaturalized and for ICE to "become the Gestapo, but for a good cause": "They want to call us fascists all the time, hell, why don't we live up to their expectations, but do it in a good way?" www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

‘It’s unbelievable!’ exclaimed my 91 year old mother in law incredulously - since her 92 year old husband died last December, at least 7 other people she knows have died! I did not know how to respond…. 🙄

This shouldn't need pointing out, but immigration is not the cause of some arsehole attacking people with a knife. The, not insignificant, detail of said arsehole being born in UK aside. People claiming it is, e.g. Goodwin, Hannan et al, are showing themselves up for being ethno-nationalist racists.

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.
At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Higher taxes on gambling probably would cost some jobs. But employment has to be weighed against other social costs.
That's why we don't have brothels and ketamine stores on every high street. It was a terrible mistake to let gambling shops become such big employers.

Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax
The company's co-founder says it would be forced to close all its sites, putting 7,500 jobs at risk, if gambling taxes go up.

Absolutely loved this short but highly evocative novel recommended by @chrisbryant1962.bsky.social. Clear by Carys Davies is a beatlutiful but haunting story told sparingly but with such a delicate touch. Highly recommended.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

One reflection talking to other Jews today is how unshocking this is.
Numbing, upsetting, scary but not shocking. We all knew it was coming. Given the enormous rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years, it's a surprise it hasn't happened more often.

If you want to shrink immigration, you need to explain how the country keeps working.
Here's the reality. What's the plan?
