You may think this is an odd way to start such a piece, but I think the BBC deserves everything it got from Trump and the far right loons and gutterpress.

If facing drowning crossing the Channel in an unseaworthy boat at huge cost doesn't put asylum seekers off, I am not sure Mahmoud's measures will have much effect.

Rachel Reeves had better pull a really large rabbit out of her Budget hat. If she doesn't, if it's just more fiddling around the edges, then this government – and likely the entire Labour Party – is toast. Spoiler alert: she won't do it.

I hear labour supporters have started making up words to avoid talking about brexit.
I notice some prominent brexit commentators have now started making up words like "brexitism" & "europeanism".
Quick thread explaining why neither exists and why it is so unhelpful to the discourse.
TL;DR: the EU is just a bunch of trade treaties / travel agreements. It's not a cult.
