Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.
Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?
For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

a side note: you can learn *a lot* about British journalism when you realize that Boris Johnson was fired from his first job in it for serial dishonesty, and then promptly hired into a new job, where he continued to make up lies.
Not to pat my profession on the back, for all of our problems, but I do think it's to the law's credit that every US bar association that reviewed Glass' application for a license went "fuuuuuuuuuuuck no."

At a certain point you kind of have to get round to arguing that white supremacy is bad and ethnic minorities are good, rather than trying to poke holes in the obviously fake bullshit white supremacists say to pretend they're not white supremacists in polite company.

Of course this is more expensive than just being humane.
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

This is not just about Farage. This is an ongoing project of newspeak by the press. Step one: agree that racism is bad and that being a racist is bad. Step two: declare that, because racism is bad, it's unacceptably rude to say anyone or anything is actually racist.
Q: How do we know Farage is racist, always has been racist and always will be racist?
A: Every racist thing he’s said over the last 50 years.
And every racist thing he’s done or proposed as a politician.
The huffing and puffing about calling him what he is can stop any time it likes.

It's telling that Sex Matters and For Women Scotland have basically turned their entire attention into trying to legally bully women's organisations into either excluding trans people or being driven out of existence.
They'd prefer all women and girls to suffer than for trans people to just live.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

the overclass consensus is to support the interests of foreign football hooligans against the efforts of law enforcement to protect the British public. WTAF is going on?
