Car crash briefing with Kemi Badenoch spokesman in which he

- Couldn't say if she'd ever raised grooming inside govt (having never mentioned it in the House)
- Admitted she hasn't spoken to any survivors
- Refused to condemn Elon Musk for attacks on Jess Phillips
and said she's still a "fan" of his

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.

In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

So a Nazi oligarch tweets a lie, and the leader of the Tory Party jumps at it like a puppet on a string. English politics needs a reboot. The number of bad politicians in positions of power can't be seen as coincidental anymore. It's systemic.

Your regular reminder that the editors and senior management of the Times are entirely comfortable with Phillips' deranged racism.

Migration is too often used as a political weapon from those on the far right to demonise some of the most vulnerable in society, with terms like asylum seeker, refugee and migrant deliberately conflated.

Here's what you need to know.
Your questions on immigration answered: What is migration? And why are some people always talking about it?
How does a migrant differ from an asylum seeker or a refugee? Why are some people always talking about immigration? And, importantly, isn't immigration actually good for the UK?

Sadiq Khan, who won his mayoralty again in 2024, is being ‘rewarded for failure’, while an identical honour for Andy Street, who literally lost his, is not…

What could possibly explain this glaring anomaly?
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility

1) New Year’s Honours list is nominated by public not by political leaders

2) Khan has won three elections so the average Londoner clearly doesn’t think he’s a failure

Der Spiegel reports the attack on a Christmas Market in Madgeburg, killing two people, carried out by a man from Saudi Arabia apparently with far right sympathies for the AfD's anti-Muslim agenda. He puts the X owner Elon Musk with Alex Jones and Tommy Robinson as inspiring his journey to violence.
