In the coming weeks, we’ll hear a lot about the “Danish model”, policies the government is considering to further reduce the rights of asylum seekers and refugees.
As I told the BBC Today Programme, we must not go down this road. It's a dead end – morally, politically and electorally.

Climate scepticism has gone from denying climate change, to denying it's man made, to accepting it is but denying it's going to be disastrous. The next step is to accept that it's real, it's man made, is going to be disastrous but apparently it's too late.

A long argument from Bill Gates to deprioritise climate change. In which he manages to place "human welfare" in a separate category to "achieving net zero".
Sorry he got bored with it but it is most definitely, absolutely about human welfare.

This is absolutely right. It’s about creating a permission structure for violence, whether that violence is conducted by the state directly or simply permitted by the state.
The claim that "civil war is inevitable in the UK" is better understood as an expression of the author's desire to see blood spilt on British streets.

I think this is absolutely right. Also, so many of these guys do actually understand that 'a mixed-race family in an advert' is there to sell people things. They absolutely cannot stand that some minorities are successful. It is resentment all the way down.
Think one of the key things why adverts are such a thing with them is that people in ads are usually enjoying themselves and having a nice life; seeing non-white people be happy is something that drives your typical racist absolutely mad
Something I can't get over with the Sarah Pochin comments is that it's not just racist, it's also pathetic? Like oh wittle Sarah doesn't like the wittle adverts is it? Get a grip, you're a grown woman and member of parliament, stop being a snowflake and find a real problem to deal with

Lessons of Caerphilly by-election IMV:
1) UK has become a country with bloc politics
2) enough voters don't want Reform that they are very vulnerable to being on the wrong side of it
3) but Labour, an essential component of that anti-Reform bloc being able to win, are too unattractive at present.
