It is rather notable that, one day after Burnham announced his vague but significant policy positions on the triple lock and EU ties, neither the Tories nor Reform are making much noise about the EU position. Given this, and the rather positive reaction to social care, perhaps moderate centrism

Crazy to think multiple Tory governments promised lower migration but fudged on it at budgets because they wanted more headroom for tax cuts, and now a Labour government desperate for more headroom has cut numbers to their own detriment.

Also, as Ben says, the silence around this massive gap (not only in pure monetary terms but in skills and workforce pressures) is shocking in itself. Just an acceptance that shooting ones leg off to appease voters who will never vote for them is worth the cost.

Perhaps breaking that silence would mean challenging the predominant idiotic and often racist narrative that higher levels of migration has no positive consequence. An argument they either too ignorant to believe themselves or simply do not have the courage to make.

Labour pledged within their manifesto to reform social care, we're still waiting for Casey Commission to release their report. Waiting for another three years to get any movement on this, even if it is on a different scale to what was envisioned then, is disappointing to say the least.

The age old adage of British politics for the last few decades is to aspire to Scandinavian level of quality public services and ignore how much tax they actually pay for it (and usually prefer to think it's something to do with their hardline immigration policies)

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Trump is, obviously, a villain in many ways. But the attempt of the US government, elected by the US people, to try to shift blame for this from the Russian state and its government is, for me, its most unforgivable action. One that cannot be forgotten with any change of government.

One of the big lies that the foreign disinformation campaign targeting the Alberta Separation movement spreads is the claim that a yes-vote doesnt really mean separation, it just provides a stronger negotiation position within Federation. Tell that to the people who regret voting for Brexit.

They're on a real run of terrible policy lately. Think it reflects their current identity crisis. They don't seem to have any idea what they're for, what they're trying to do, or who they're trying to appeal to. And it shows in weird, bad pseudo-centrist populist grab bag policy.
