Badenoch: There are now 491,000 claims in the employment tribunal backlog. Which shows how dangerous Labour's Employment Rights Bill is.
Er... why are there now 491,000 claims in the employment tribunal backlog? How long did it take to build that lot up?

2013 seems like another world now, that's when I met Udo Kier at some fancy Hollywood thing in Palm Springs, we chatted about Fassbinder & he said he was making a movie in Ireland & would look me up. It didn't happen but it was a privilege to meet him. Rest in peace, Udo, you maniac, you sweet man.

He doesn't seem to have an issue taking it out on whole groups though.
There's enough hedging from Farage in this clip to kit out Hampton Court Maze multiple times over.

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.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the worst ever tragedy in the Channel.
At least 27 men, women & children drowned in the freezing water, & 4 more have never been found.
Since then, neither we nor the French have done a thing to offer people in this situation with real solutions.

A friend of mine once dated a Hollywood hairdresser who had Udo Kier as a client. When he was asked about appearing in Madonna’s SEX book, he said (and please say this in your head with his German accent) “She has the most well manicured vagina I’ve ever seen.” RIP Udo

Udo took a chance on my rinky-dink festival in Vancouver back in 2000 - he went on TV interviews with me, carried 35mm film prints up stairs, went to get me coffee and even live-dubbed Giancarlo Giannini's voice when BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA showed up without subs. RIP Udo, you were a star 🌟

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

If the system worked properly and fairly, this man would have been recognised years ago, been able to bring his family here and be a British citizen. Instead, he now faces being caught up in the Home Secretary's plans to switch refugees into what seems to be a minimum 20 year route to settlement.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.
