Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.

Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?

For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Shabana Mahmood said this month that her migration policies are a "moral mission".

Where is the morality in blocking an eight-year-old girl made destitute by a Hurricane from coming to the UK to join her parents?

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

One thing is true a lot of people are eating Nigel Farage's BS about foreigners.

And when other people reinforce or don't challenge this BS, it only makes the problem worse.

Condemn Farage he is a disgusting, racist man who is happy to spread any lie, racist, Tylenol or swan.

The PFI disaster

Wes Streeting readies more of the NHS for privatisation. Hands £6m to advisers.

NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to private equity and corporations. Profits guaranteed.

Money will buy less. Higher taxes, lower value.

Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

Norway has increased its Student Grant to more than 14,000 Euros.

It is now paying its Students 1.5x more than England, Wales and Northern Ireland are charging them.

One of us had our fossil fuel stolen and sold by thieves. The other didn't.

Can you guess which is which?

Everything is always 'unaffordable'.

But they never mention the reason, they just blame you.

The richest have the highest incomes EVER and are paying the least TAXES in over 100 years.

The Western World is losing about $6tn to tax avoidance that would have been paid in 1960.
