Not long ago she posted white supremacist conspiracy theory shit about Leo Frank, and it really shocked me. She later deleted it but didn't apologize. So I've washed my hands of her.

more gutter antisemitism from Mary Rambaran-Olm (read down in the thread where she suggests that she supports murdering Jews)
This is a person who is still taken seriously and published in left-wing spaces.
To be clear: No, most Israeli Jews are not descended from Polish Jews. And even for the minority who are, it would obviously not be safe for them all to go there now, given the Polish government.

Just logged onto LinkedIn to see this government insult to intelligence, £250bn in investment since June. What does this even mean? If it was inward FDI that would be over 10% of total stock in three months. It clearly isn't. It is just bad government comms in almost every way.

EU in effect saying world trade rules don't include steel, Trump on a smaller scale. And probably with a similar negative impact on manufacturing competitiveness.

A reminder: just because a website assures you that your ID is immediately deleted after verification doesn’t mean it’s *actually* deleted.
NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.
Including some users passports & DLs
Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.
Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

This foreword to "Restoring Control Over the Immigration System" contains some outrageous statements.
The migration increase was driven by student visas. Have these tuition paying students truly done "incalculable damage" to the country?

Net public backing for scheme has fallen to -14% after prime minister’s announcement, according to polling

Public support for digital IDs has collapsed after Keir Starmer announced plans for their introduction, in what has been described as a symptom of the prime minister’s “reverse Midas touch”.
Net support for digital ID cards fell from 35% in the early summer to -14% at the weekend after Starmer’s announcement, according to polling by More in Common. Continue reading...

I do think this has been a week in which new levels of 'why don't senior Labour politicians understand we can ALL hear them' have been reached. Why would Andy Burnham do a 'I'm gonna hike taxes on London and the south, you're all rich!' Why would Steve Reed use 'regional politician' as a putdown?

“We don’t need to trouble you” means “your opponent has said nothing that could persuade us”. Rare, most especially to the Government who - unlike desperate individuals - is supposed to be more cautious about running weak arguments.
The Home Office's appeal against this decision has been refused
The judges threw it out in minutes and without waiting to hear arguments from the man's lawyers, telling them "we don’t need to trouble you" after questioning the Home Office barrister in an increasingly incredulous exchange
