What a shocking waste of opportunity this government has proved to be.
It has squandered its time and attention on ridiculous fiscal rules, persecuting refugees and trashing ecosystems in the name of growth, while failing to deliver what we so desperately want.

As I pointed out recently, Bates authored a paper for Rupert Lowe MP that used an estimate of illegal migration that he knew to be false and had been publicly retracted by its original authors.
Who’s behind the Centre for Migration Control? This so-called “research organisation” has been cited in The Sun, The Telegraph, The Times and Express - but it appears to be run by one man with a Brexit campaign past, publishing opaque and selective data and wild claims about migrants.

Is it wrong for MPs to be landlords?
Britain's homelessness minister, Rushanara Ali, has come under fire for hiking the rent, despite previously speaking out about 'private renters being exploited'.
Is it hypocritical to represent your constituents while charging them rent?

The last real U.S. jobs report came out Friday. From now on, our economic data is state-run propaganda. No nation can trust numbers coming from the U.S. govt. The world sees it. The jig is up. America just became a cooked-book regime. This is how superpowers fall.
