Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Old enough to remember when Brexit trade barriers were going to defy the laws of economics. And didn't. And amazingly enough the same is happening in the US.

Ignore Trump for a moment, and all the other calamities going on around the world. Climate change is still the biggest threat to us all, and we are in danger of ignoring it.

We cannot have a better society unless those with the lowest income have a larger share of the income of the UK. When will politicians realise that this is the path to growth and the path to justice, which they should want, or why are they in office? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...
The problem with the UK is that we do not redistribute income – let alone wealth
This chart comes from the House of Commons Library.

That's why there were so many songs about how they wanted to stay on the production line for all time and never, ever leave their hometown.

The upshot of every interview with a MAGA voter is Cult Member Supports Cult Leader. It's really a pointless exercise because they have no opinions of their own. They have given up on thinking for themselves. There's nothing to learn from them

there's apparently now a view in every right-leaning British publication that nothing ought to be done about the far right, ever - they should be able to say whatever they want and do whatever they want, yet remain untouchable, and it's becoming increasingly hard not to parse it as outright support
