NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.
The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system.

Genuinely crackers statement from Kemi Badenoch this AM setting out her approach to North Sea oil & gas.
As Badenoch says, "cheap abundant energy is the foundation of prosperity"... which is exactly why we need to plan to transition away from North Sea oil & gas and focus on renewables instead 🧵

When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic.
Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly.
The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.

Earth's atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 in millions of years
New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.

Here's the Nobel prize-winning economist Esther Duflo destroying the claim that foreign workers reduce domestic wages. In fact, they actually help UK workers by adding to the talent base and allowing the economy to grow. Getting rid of them just leads to more automation.

In the last 2 weeks, the EHRC said trans people stop using their preferred toilet & the PM's spokesperson suggested that trans women are not women by law. Several organisations have fallen in line behind them.

Lots of claims flying around this week (eg Nigel Farage who thinks we can be "self-sufficient" in gas) that the UK can drill its way to energy security. Here's why that's a fantasy, as I explained to Reform's Richard Tice on LBC earlier:
