This is what Roy Jenkins had to say about immigration on 8th November 1966, when he was Home Secretary. Not only an economic case; but "To live apart, for a person, a city or a country, is to lead a life of declining intellectual stimulation."

regardless of today’s outcome, it is morally indefensible to have a court ruling on something that affects a population, using evidence and findings that did not consult a single member of that population.

Today’s announcements in the #SpringStatement are another hammer blow for people who are struggling with their mental health and finances. We urge the government to reverse course. Read our Chief Executive @helenundy.bsky.social’s response in full 👇 🔗 www.moneyandmentalhealth.org/press-releas...

Alt text for all four: “Incapacity benefits are a lifeline for people who have been assessed as too unwell to work due to their mental or physical health. Cutting these payments by 50% and freezing them, while the cost of everyday essentials continues to rise, effectively penalises people for becoming sick. The government’s own estimates show this reform package will push an additional 250,000 people into poverty.” Helen Undy, Chief Executive, Money and Mental Health.

Nice shout out in the Radio Times for our little pod! 🎉

A piece in the Radio Times about the Simple Politics podcast which reads, “Winner of the "Most Original Format" at the 2025 Political Podcast Awards, this approachable effort aims to make the events of the week digestible for everyone. With subjects ranging from Rachel Reeves to radicalism, via detours on the problems of middle-class pies, it's a free-ranging chat between temporary anchor Kobi Omenaka and regulars Tatton Spiller and Diane Daniels. As they remind us, with the cost-of-living crisis, and in the wake of departing host Charlotte John, they need support more than ever.” Written by Matt Glasby

Loved the discussion on today’s @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social re: accessible political news, where people actually are. I’m leaving in 2 weeks but I wouldn’t have had my job at Simple Politics for the last 4 1/2 years if governments, politicians, and journalists already did this (so thanks, I guess?)

My Dad has spent every day since Christmas insisting Stephen Mangan was in the Wallace and Gromit special - no IMDB page or credit reel could convince him otherwise. Anyway here’s “Stephen Mangan in Wallace and Gromit”:

A character from ‘Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl’, who is not voiced by Stephen Mangan, nor is played by him, because that’s not how clay stop frame animation works, but does vaguely resemble Stephen Mangan, to the extent that a 63-year-old man is now gloating about “being right all along”.

This is excellent news for people whose full-time job is to write their PhD by June and whose part-time job is to report on UK and US politics. There’s a chance that demographic only includes me, but still… 🤞🤞
