Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

Home Office media release on new settlement rules.

5 years to settlement for family members of British citizens; BNO Hong Kong visas + public sector workers

Keir Starmer's government proposes 15 year, 20 year + even 30 year settlement routes: deliberately off the charts of any precedent anywhere

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult.

But where is the evidence that has happened in this case?

Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction

The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

Very interesting comments over in the other place about how everyone says stuff like this at school. Well they certainly didn't at my school.
🚨🚨 Huge revelations about Farage from those who knew him in his youth. On the record.

"He would be sort of singing these kind of ‘gas ’em all’ sort of songs”

“I have a very strong memory of him using the W-word...and the P-word for those of south Asian origin"

The problem I've always had with the Kindertransport was we should have let in adults.

It appears Starmer's problem with it is that we didn't steal the children's teddy bears.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Wooooah!

So the China spy case witness statement initially described China as the 'enemy'.

But that word was removed before submition, because it was NOT government policy at the time.

The government when this happened were the Tories.

So arguably the Tories are the reason the case collapsed!

'The policy will need to be designed very carefully'

'Have you spent more than 5 minutes on it before announcing it?'

'Lol no.'
• They can't say if it would apply to all other benefits eg statutory maternity pay.
• Won't say if it would apply to people with ILR who have UK national kids and/or spouse.
• Very few answers at all: "There are always going to be fringe cases & the policy will need to be designed very carefully."

First Trump administration story in a while that genuinely shocked me:
Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

This is an idiotic idea from the Tories. Abolishing stamp duty almost certainly leads to an offsetting increase in house prices.

Doesn't make housing more affordable and flows straight to homeowners.

Jenrick: You asking me questions about my racist policies causes terrorism. Me attacking and naming judges in the media doesn't.
Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Further individuals will have put them in the goodie bags.

Tory pitch to immigrants: come to the UK to do work the country needs. Once you retire we'll boot you out without a pension.
“Another part of the plan would limit benefits to people with UK citizenship, removing it even from those who have been in the country for years or even decades and have indefinite leave to remain”

If this is not xenophobia then I don’t know what is.
Sickening.

I don't think Labour's policy agenda is a winning one, but combining some quite traditional leftwing economics with, essentially, not being willing to talk about how you are leftwing feels like the worst *possible* way to govern and campaign:

Krishnan Guru Murthy: "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?"

Reform UK plan to scrap settled status is cruel, and needs to be called out.

Yep, that's great. Just fantastic. We were told that Starmer would lay out the patriotic case for diversity today. What we got was an article in the Telegraph, behind a paywall, about how the left failed to tackle immigration and now we all have to have ID cards www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09...
