Honestly impressed at Starmer and Nandy's commitment to not doing their job. This guy is literally talking about his wife, his children, her, and her children, and they do nothing!
CT explains why he thinks Shabana Mahmood is neither English, nor British, to which Cole does not respond to at all.
Cole: asks how many generations? Is it a race thing?
CT: Not race as Albanians don't count either. It is ancestry.
It is infinite generations, if you don't have the ancestry.

Today, I’m supporting the nationwide day of action calling on the richest to #PAYUP.
Billionaire wealth has increased 1000% since the 1990s. There is no excuse to plunge thousands into poverty through cuts and underfunding.
The money is there - time to tax it fairly.

Please respond to the consultation. It takes less than 20 minutes, if you like Mark's answers. I do.
OPPORTUNITY: Today's the last day to respond to a public consultation on burning vegetation on peat soils in England.
It will take you maybe 20 minutes to complete & is nothing like as scary as you might think. See markavery.info/2025/05/21/m... for what I wrote.
You can do it.

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

Yet Labour want to crackdown further on work visa applications, blocking those who arrive in the UK to support people in our communities.
