Matt Goodwin seems rather obsessed with "too many" Muslims and what he calls the "New Elite." Unlikely to play well in Gorton and Denton (30% Muslim in 2021 census). But if I'm wrong, dinner's on me, Matt www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pop...

The academic turned right-wing firebrand is Reform’s candidate for Gorton and Denton. But his ‘Broken Britain’ mantra is unlikely to convince voters

An absolutely unmissable read for anyone who cares about British politics.
This is one of the most brilliant (and beautifully written) analyses of the dissolution and future of the UK's party system you will ever read. @prospectmagazine.co.uk is free to read at the moment, so I'd urge any of you with an interest in British politics to get hold of it as soon as you can.

It's six years today since Britain left the EU.
I wrote this on Brexit day in 2020, about the strategic dilemmas to which European membership had once been the answer and that would now reopen once Britain left.

My daughter is just approaching the age Shamima left the UK to get married to her groomer. To make this child into a pantomime villain and for Labour to continue with it in power is a massive missed opportunity for everyone to learn from, as well as being pathetic and weak.

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.
Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

15 years for people in medium skilled jobs and care workers too. I believe this goes down to 10 years if they earn over £50,270. Someone in a high skilled job earning over that qualifies in 5 years.

I disagree here. I argued when Johnson was in power that we didn't have to respond to every fire being lit in Number 10, & we don't have to be blown around by every gust today. Indeed, the frenzy of briefing & whatsapp-journalism makes it more urgent to filter out the noise & do analysis more slowly
