‘“Willing to work’ with big bad wolf” says three little pigs spokesperson
Insufficient from Streeting and actually quite dangerous. Musk's comments against Phillips in particular risk her safety. Saying you're "willing to work" with him helps validate that behaviour.

Elon Musk! Wtf has politics in Britain got to do with him? I seem to recall that the right resented foreign interference in UK governance when it came to the “unelected” EU Commission. They don’t see Musk as foreign though - he’s white and English speaking. They really think he is like them.

So, I see youth visas remain as controversial as ever. Worth asking, in an honest assessment of such visas, who benefits?

My first Bluesky post. It’s 0-0 in #LIVMUN so not much to report there. Michelle Mone had an absolute car crash on #BBCLauraUK this morning which is uplifting. Heading south tomorrow to say goodbye to a friend who left us far too soon. Perspective, nothing outweighs the death of a loved one.
