A BBC news reporter talks of 'what Starmer *admits* is a crisis at our borders'. By using that word 'admits' the BBC indicates that this supposed crisis is a fact. But it isn't a fact. It's a manufactured moral panic.

Excellent work. Never got off the launch pad. Silly idea to ape the Americans (no doubt some chinless think tank with dodgy funders)

Straight from the cenotaph to Tavistock Square for the white poppy ceremony for peace. Happy to lay a poppy at the stone for conscientious objectors, so many of whom also have died as a result of war.

Remembrance is an opportunity not just to honour the lives lost to war, whether brave combatants or civilian victims. It is also a chance to recommit to the cause of peace and freedom in the hope that one day war will be no more.

Alongside my poppy at the cenotaph this year, I’ll be wearing the red triangle to remember the liberation 80 years ago of humanists who were held in the camps wearing this badge like other political opponents of fascism. We must have courage to stand against fascism and for freedom in every age.

This is, quite literally, insane. A free market/property rights defence of a landlord's right to let damp and mouldy property that will kill occupiers. (Also an illustration of why housing conditions have been regulated by statute for the last 100 years or so.)

This week, Awaab’s Law came into force. This law requires social landlords to inspect a house for damp and mould within ten working days of being notified and for the situation to be made safe within…

There is zero, I mean zero, reason fireworks shouldn't be restricted. I'm 99% sure the number of people who would like them restricted far outweighs the number of people who buy them.

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.
Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.
Long, long overdue.

Blimey! Green Party now polling in FIRST for all voters under 50
YouGov’s latest polling shows a collapse in support for Labour and the Tories, stagnation for Reform… and historic highs for the Green Party.

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.
