On the day after the referendum I remember saying to someone "the worst thing about this is we're going to leave and then we're going to spend the next 20 years trying to get back in and by then I'll be retirement age..."

So Congress beat itself up to pass a Russian sanctions bill, only Trump refuses to use it and now actually wants to cut sanctions for his pal.

We can all argue about Burnham's speech but it meant girl twin asking me what the triple lock was and boy twin asking me what my preferred form of PR is. So it's done its work.

Problem with the triple lock is it's unsustainable in the long-term (just mathematically) + it's incredibly senstitive to economic shocks. Better just to say we want the pension to be X% of earnings + make it generous enough to live.

And the data about GDP and balance of payments in 1976 were later revised to be much less concerning… we didn’t need the IMF. Imagine the alternative histories based on revised statistics.

Farage posted this at 12.38 today. It has been hopelessly overtaken by events and shown to be entirely wrong (British nationals involved and they've been released on bail - not very terrorist-like). And if you believe anything Trump says, you are a credulous moron.

Police were alerted by a local resident who thought it suspicious that three large white vans were parked in the village during the night. Vigilance is important during these times, but if someone hadn’t noticed the vans…

Today, in lying: Trump: “The arrest in the UK was fantastic. Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. “We had them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage to our fort, and working with the British worked out great. “We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.”

... going back to PISA(as an example), we *can* say it's mostly *not* migrant selection and it *is* partly less sorting by school. That's useful. Is it "policy"? Partly but not wholly - but that's a *qual* judgment not a model. Should we be "proud"? Yes!

I'd argue that the use of "illegal immigration" being used as a derogatory label for asylum seekers as well as legal immigration has been pushed strongly by the Right, maybe even including the Tories, as a way of legitimising racism under the mendacious label of "legitimate concerns".

(so I think comparing her to Reform or Tory racists like Lam/Timothy are wrong. She genuinely thinks non-white Brits of migrant descent like her are at risk from the naturally racist prejudices of most Brits, which are aroused by seeing more non-white faces. Also pernicious but different!)

Mahmood's rationale remains the same. Fewer (legal, working) migrants => less racism Nothing to do with integration. No evidence. I'd add this *doesn't* show she hates immigrants (FTAOD don't think she does). It shows her contempt/distrust/fear of ordinary Brits.

As the Tories tie Reform in the polls, the high profile online influencer Raheem Kassam (a longterm associate of the leader) is persistently promoting a xenophobic racialised focus on Bsdenoch's heritage: a "Nigerian scammer" & encouraging the use of 'Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke “Kemi” Badenoch'

There is really only one course of action for Conservatives considering this attack on Badenoch: condemn it unequivocally. Anyone who doesn't should f*** off to Reform. And anyone in Reform who is deeply unhappy with the attacks on Badenoch should leave Reform.

I don't understand why Farage is silently sympathising with the attacks on the RNLI. This feels like a disaster for Reform - exactly the kind of issue that powers the tactical voting against him and alienates soft conservatives.
