James, the last two years have given us something close to a natural experiment in dealing with Trump. Starmer chose flattery. Sánchez chose open defiance. Carney chose cool, transactional resistance. Three different approaches. Similar results. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk #lbc

One reason England does so well is our second generation immigrants outperform their peers which is not true in most OECD countries. We are also very good at integration. And it's v sad that this is never acknowledge in debates on immigration.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Media presenters in UK may have skewed perceptions of balamce of Jewish opinion towards Israeli govt. Centre of gravity aligns with Miliband (attached to Israel & critical of Netanyahu). Varies by faith/denomination & politics: many cons & mainstream orthodox disapprove Netanyahu govt too. See IJPR

Remembering that time we found this very lazy attempt to colour in Mr Lazy at the colouring in table, which is probably the laziest way there is to colour in Mr Lazy and therefore exactly what Mr Lazy would do.

A colouring in sheet of Mr Lazy from the Mr Men. His hat is slightly coloured in. There are two other small dots of colour. The rest is blank.
