Net migration IS coming down quite fast, and we will soon know who was right about whether it was a good or a bad idea economically and politically.

Apart from ALL THE OTHER STUFF, there is enough in those emails for another #metoo movement to emerge.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

A bunch of mates-an ex-spin doctor for the Tories and a consultant reportedly paid by pro-Trump oligarchs-essentially right-wing activists, have captured the BBC board by cosplaying as impartial journalists and are trying to push the BBC as far right as they can.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Musks Tweets, Vances „Urlaub“, Trump vs BBC: Die britische Debatte wird immer stärker von der amerikanischen beeinflusst — der kulturellen Nähe und Sprache sei Dank. Was in den USA gelang, will die radikale Rechte in Großbritannien wiederholen. Die BBC steht ihr dabei im Weg.

Die europäische Politik polarisiert sich zunehmend entlang einer Konfliktlinie: Wie umgehen mit Mangel?

Option 1: Zu wenig Arzttermine – abschieben. Zu wenig Wohnraum – abschieben.

Option 2: Zu wenig Arzttermine – mehr Ärzte. Zu wenig Wohnraum – neue Häuser, neue Städte.

Inzwischen ist die Schlagzeile „Jetzt wird es eng für Pedro Sánchez“ genauso zu bewerten wie „Jetzt wird es eng für Donald Trump“ — kann man machen, aber sollte es meist besser lassen

The bleakly funny thing about this story is that visibly *this morning* the Conservative leadership had not absorbed just how crackers the policy they had signed up to was.
Lol, well yes.

Today's Conservative Party: more extreme on mass deportations & more explicitly ethno-nationalist, illiberal & authoritarian than Enoch Powell in 1968 and his 'rivers of blood' speech. The sad decline of a once great party.
Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

This is completely nuts. Also nuts it went almost unnoticed. Not a serious party anymore.

Your regular reminder that scrapping ILR for people who have come here and played by the rules, which is what Lam proposes here, is a position supported by 3% of the public
Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam

She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people"

Zum Vergleich: das ist AfD-haft, „Remigration“, ethnischer Nationalismus der übelsten Sorte.

Und in der britischen Gesellschaft eine Minderheitenmeinung, ein Rezept zur Selbstverzwergung.

god, the questions to Zelensky about "trading for Tomahawks" are just so juvenile. i can't believe these are the adults at the steering wheel. this whole broadcast throws me into a spiraling panic about society. surely, the power grid and food supply will collapse soon if this is our leadership
