Helpful context for the slight hatchet job Rory performed on Zack. Zack recognising he needs to learn the figures (regardless of their worth in the political debate) tells you everything you need to.
P.s. Rory Stewart also got his numbers wrong, but I guess that’s ok?

If the right really wants free speech in universities, why is it so obsessed with discrediting students? | Jason Okundaye
The media loves to manufacture outrage about what students get up to – and to discipline those who dare challenge conservatives, says Jason Okundaye, a Guardian assistant newsletter editor

Farage had the opportunity to do the right thing, the kind of thing responsible leaders might do….but instead he insisted it was all fine. Ugly language he said - too true that. With an ugly sentiment behind it. Racism. You know what makes me mad Nige, all them white faces in Reform pics..:)

Nigel Farage is wrong about the European Convention on Human Rights.
He thinks we should leave the ECHR to reduce migration.
But not only do just a tiny number of immigration cases rely on human rights, leaving the ECHR would be an unmitigated disaster ⬇️

The Reform leader is unveiling legislation to leave the ECHR. His arguments are wrong – and that move would be a disaster.

Housing benefit is failing to cover the true cost of private rent – and it’s forcing people across Britain into poverty, ill health and homelessness. I’ve asked my MP to urge the Chancellor to fix this at the UK Autumn Budget. Join me? @crisis-uk.bsky.social campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/176493/...

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

Taxing wealth isn’t radical – it’s common sense.
Labour’s taken the first steps, but imagine what we could do with a 2% tax on the richest: £24 billion (per year) for green steel, clean water, better schools and so much more.
