London is fundamentally an immigrant city. Londinium was founded by the Roman Empire. And the Angles turned up considerably more recently.
That argument is just “your family immigrated more recently than mine”.

Most words are plucked from the language tree. When they approach ripeness, the vocabulary elves watch them carefully in order to pick them at the perfect moment.

Thank you, Marie. I would also like to thank my MP, @willforster.bsky.social and all the other Lib Dem MPs who put their names to this.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.

It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.

And it costs lives.

Translation: if we withdrew the whip from every backbencher who opposed continuing the two child benefit cap we’d have ended up a minority government

And even if that wasn’t the case, they’re likely to end up with too few MPs to be much use in a coalition.
