What an odd coincidence that it's just those countries that are an issue, and not say MPs with ancestry in Europe, Australia or North America. I wonder what the difference could possibly be.

I just tried to listen to BBCradio4 in the car. It's literally just a continuous hit job on Reeves. I'm not a fan of the Chancellor, but the BBC are behaving disgracefully.

I don’t know whether Badenoch ever had a brain to fry… but if she did, she’s fried it. On X. She’s a joke.
Unprofessional. Bitchy. Idiotic. How very very very low the Tory party has sunk. Embarrassing.

Oh

Heard some universities think tank bod tell Matthew Wright it was a “smart move and would help the unis mould Reform policies”. 😳 Smacks more of supine complying in advance. Can’t they see from the Trump example that you can never appease bullies, they’ll always come back for more.

This is how fascism works. Violence and intimidation gets them obedience. The establishment will sell everyone and everything out to protect themselves. It must be very frightening to be from an ethnic minority in UK now, as long held values and principles are binned because of a few opinion polls.

Cowardly universities will pay the price. They should look to America.

The Tories were spooked by Farage into holding a referendum. Now universities are panicking in case Farage’s latest party, with <1% of seats, comes to power.

Trump & Farage don’t want a well-educated electorate. Fight them!
