Congratulations to England on their 0-0 draw with Croatia last night (if you only count goalscorers who are English according to the delightful Sue Ellen Braverman’s definition).

Small boat crossings account for ca 3% of total net migration to the UK. Watch GB NEWS or Talk or listen to Farage and Co and you'd think it was the majority.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

If AI is for the benefit of everyone, nationalise it, the Billionaires can give up control, we are already paying the construction costs and their electricity bills. Then anything it does create actually will be free. Except of course it is JUST for Billionaires profits.

Yes, Iceland are an independent sovereign state. Who also happen to be in the Single Market, the EEA and the Schengen zone, with freedom of movement for people, goods and services. But if the UK did that I'd be screaming about Brexit betrayal and being an EU puppet.

The creator of Harry Potter is dedicated to anti-trans ideology, something she shares with the far-right, and she's vowed to continue to use her immense wealth to fund anti-trans legislation. If you share her views on the anti-science, bigoted cult of transphobia then that's up to you.

Many thanks to GB News for helping me undermine the Standards Commission by calling it a kangaroo court. It’s almost as if I asked them to prepare the ground by questioning the commission’s legitimacy, just in time for when I’m found to have broken the rules.

This is one of those sobering moments for fans of polling. London's air quality has been measured and assessed very closely over the last decade, and we know for a fact that it has improved, yet, as with crime, public perception stands in stark contrast to reality. Voters are in fact often wrong.
