On Radio 4’s Any Questions? last week, Conservative MP Graham Stuart claimed employment has gone down and unemployment has gone up “every single month” under Labour.
That’s not quite right according to ONS data on the number and rate of people who are employed and unemployed. (1/2)

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.
