Milburn report pushed to after budget because there is no money for his recommendations. Defence spending pushed back too. Spending review is going to be a nightmare.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, but to their courage, victims of far-right figures arguing they are “protecting women and girls” from unknown and unseen particular threat from migrants are coming forward to tell their story of sexual and domestic abuse

Harder to think of a clearer example of normalization of far-right discourse. The idea of remigration is now something that can be argued should be a priority of what might very well be the next Spanish government. elpais.com/espana/elecc... 1/2

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

I've been talking to quite a few Conservatives for a piece ahead of their conference, and it's striking how many proactively brought up a reason why they think this year's event will be more positive than last: the fact Robert Jenrick won't be there. Such unananimity of dislike is rare.

He is not burning cash. He is investing money to shape political discourse and public opinion in line with his ideology and interests. And it's a successful strategy. Also, for a billionaire losing 10 million is like losing 1000 pounds for a middle class person.

I do take the points raised about migration reforms. All I say is this: as currently drafted they are completely incompatible with what the PM said yesterday. That logic must now play through.

Mahmood's comment makes sense if either 1) there is a fixed pie of labour and stuff and people who come here mean less pie for others [false] or 2) British workers and the young just don't want people coming here - ie racism. This might be true of some but it's not universally true.

Yet again, the inherent generosity of the British people is just waiting to be unlocked by a government being as vile as possible

I know the British people have not given up on their belief that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations, and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution. But I also know this process must be capped and controlled, and communities must be ready and able to welcome those who come here.

Is it the suggestion that more fairness for migrants means less fairness for British people, in some grim zero sum game?

I know that, throughout our consultation process some have said elements of these reforms are not fair.
And to that, let me say this: we will come to a position that balances fairness for those who came here legally and fairness to British citizens across this country.
