Radio host James O'Brien raised the issue of immigration on his show and asked why the people who voted for Brexit in 2016 and for Boris Johnson in 2019 and Farage in 2024 aren't angry with the those politicans that lied to them about small boats. youtu.be/aUnhSXt1As8?...

🚨 A statement:

Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

This is probably the only analysis you need.
My take on today’s UK-US trade deal. The UK is a small weak country. It does what small weak countries do, which is to escape the bully, to pay the Dane-geld.

Standing up for the multilateral rules-based trading system will have to be left for others.

In electing a serious and fearless progressive, the College of Cardinals looks like pretty much the only electorate in the world that hasn't had its brains boiled by far right propaganda & toxic social media. For a Catholic of my generation, this is an almost unbelievable development.

Huge thank you to the US and UK teams for putting this utterly ambiguous line in the text, so we all get to enjoy weeks of wild speculation.

My best guess is they didn't actually agree a list but didn't want to delay the big VE day announce party and are hoping it all works itself out.

When you strip away politics, ideologies, faith, you are left with only two groups.

Those who wish for others to be treated fairly, justly and with respect.

And those who get off on seeing other people being treated like total shit.

You can hold any view, provided you respect (those of) others. There's no need for disrespect & no place for sneer, insult, humiliation, or worse. Today's public ridicule on platforms that reach the world is a megaphone of indecency. And just plain wrong.

You don't take away the support, you help them off benefits then they don't need the support

I genuinely feel sick after watching that presser & not in a ‘Trump was rude, pass the smelling salts’ way or even shock that you’d publicly bully a wartime leader like that. It’s the utter narcissism. Trump could literally start WW3 because he feels his ego hasn’t been sufficiently stroked.

Riddle me this why is it we can give £3bn to one failing Water Company to keep it going for another 6 months.

But we need to take £3bn off Disabled People.

Surely it should be the other way around?
