New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Transphobes… alarmist about trans women changing what it is to be a woman… meanwhile men use AI to take control of the female form, removing women completely from the creation of images &videos of “women”.

I can’t think about AI without the worrying words “ubiquity” and “opaqueness” coming up. Put the two together are we’re heading somewhere very dangerous (unless you own and control the AI).

Republicans complained about a frail senile president… and then gave the USA (and the world) exactly that… but one with the desire to fire off random damage at will.

Being full of shit doesn’t damage Trump in the eyes of his supporters. Will the weakness he has shown before Putin do so?

The only people who have spoiled the nature of this area were the mindless thugs who came to our homes last evening and created chaos.
I’ve never been scared by the asylum seekers. I’m terrified that the angry mob will return.
So, how do I get *my* country back from them? I’ve genuinely no idea

In an effort that will no doubt torch my follower base, I have laid out some basic numbers around our fiscal situation. Obvious, but still a little sobering for me.
