I wish someone would ask Nigel Farage still supports proportional representation, now Reform are leading in the polls.
My guess is the answer is now "No." Though in a lot more words.

It would have been so easy to write that Labour statement in a way that reflected their policy but attacked Lam/Reform
"We believe that the right to stay here permanently should be based on contribution but suggesting deporting people who've earned that right is appalling."

Anybody else in UK received an "emergency alert" on their car entertainment system, with it switching over to the radio? I think something triggered a function in the car that responds when the government sends out emergency alerts? Very strange

I still have no idea what Number 10 was thinking intervening over policing. If they ‘win’ the standoff, Keir Starmer personally owns any incident that happens around the match. And he’s broken the precedent of interfering in operational matters, and so will be asked to do so relentlessly.

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.
A mainstream “journalist” calling for a British MP to be deported. Is it because I’m Muslim? Next time, just say it with your chest.
