So they're at it again 🙄 Torturing valid HMRC data to create wildly misleading headlines, designed to invoke fear and anger about immigrants. Same old, same old... (and you'll see just how old shortly!) 🧵1/28
Daily Mail Front Page headline:

4 out of 5 new jobs went to foreigners in the past decade.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

Even if they did, ‘manufacturing’ in western countries has to be high quality stuff, very niche and automated production lines. But politicians do like the visuals of cutting a ribbon at a building site

Quite, married to his first wife he had affairs with her sister and step mother. in a photo with mussolini. More shocking was after the war he never changed his beliefs, holocaust denial. No morals at all

I find this stuff ironic, if these people read a few history books they would realise colonial troops fought and sacrificed themselves on European soil in British uniforms far from were they came from. Grew up in Aldershot where this is from, a lot of former Gurkhas and their families have settled

I prefer to use ‘road user’ as they are all humans no matter the method they use. More responsibility on those using vehicles obviously the same for adults over children .Catch all tribal terms push negative stereotypes . But not to distract for bad experience for you then.

Thanks for the link because it didn’t seem real until I looked on the website, how bizarre, there’s some stuff on FB showing cosplaying nazi's. I think they missed out the concentration camp setup probably because they couldn’t get any Jewish volunteers to wear stripy pjs.

Interesting point, I believe the better measure of a party are the members/volunteers(local councillors)who work for it. They do the practical work on the ground. If you could estimate a price of this resource it would indicate the potential effectiveness of that party.

The Times corrects its splash story headlined "Migrant care workers bring dozens of family members." The Times got this totally wrong. It then used its own error as the basis for an editorial calling explicitly for forced expulsions of people living here legally. www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...
In a headline and a leading article we said migrant care workers were each bringing up to 15 family members with them (News, Comment, Jul 6). This was incorrect. The ratio of 15 to 1 was that of new visa approvals for Cameroonian care workers to visa approvals for family members of all Cameroonian care workers already in the UK in 2025-26. The same applies to arrivals from Ghana, Bangladesh and India. There is no connection between new visa approvals for care workers, who are not allowed to bring any dependants at all, and visas issued to the family members of care workers who were here already.

Yesterday the Telegraph reported on my comments about air conditioning. The comment section is quite something. I have apparently become a hero of the anti net zero crowd by saying something what I think is sensible about air con. Allow me to point out three ironies in this 🧵
