More than 500 immigration law experts speak out against Labour’s asylum proposals

Experts argue that the policies are “gimmicks” designed to make the government look tough, but they are not evidence-based

By receiving a microloan, entrepreneurs can achieve greater financial independence. In turn, many use their profits to invest in their families, homes, and create more jobs in their communities.

It's truly inspiring to see how a small contribution can have lasting change, all starting from £15 🧡

Incomers: through the barricades – a matter of curiosity?

What country would be crazy enough to have an election system that gives extremist parties 100% of the power with just 31% of the vote?

This is what we’ll be telling parties to fix NOW if they want our votes in 2029.

PR has popular support, and no cost to implement.

Labour could do it right now.

This is Not Good; Very Bad!

"The research found that if carbon emissions continued to rise, 70% of the model runs led to collapse."

Intermediate level of emissions = collapse in 37% of models.

Low future emissions = #AMOC shutdown in 25% of models.

This week I spoke to BBC news about how wildlife is reacting to the hot, dry summer.

The big worry for me is that this is just a point we are passing through on the way to much more extreme climate change.

The government plans to cut immigration: really?

Cut migration and you don’t just lose workers, you lose £30–40bn from GDP.

That’s the entire defence budget… gone.

Stephen McNair reports
Do we really want a big reduction in immigration?
Voters see immigration as the most important issue facing the country. There are things to be done. But can we really afford major reductions?

So they’ll arrest 474 people for holding signs opposing genocide, but the people trying to burn down immigration centres have legitimate concerns? Is that right? Have I missed something?
