Net migration has dropped from its peak in 2023 by 82% to 171,000 the lowest level since 2012. It’s expected to be in the tens of thousands in 2026. Dont expect a rapid rise in living standards and public services though, for every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit.

Here’s what we really need to focus a lot more discussion on — you don’t need to hate cars in order to want people to have the CHOICE to walk, bike and take public transit in your city. Better cities provide more choices, and work better for EVERYONE. Bad cities offer only dependency. #CarDependency

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich
We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality. 
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.

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,

Often, it doesn't make much to make lives better. A bit of thought, empathy, kindness will do. A holder for recycling bottles at publish rubbish bins allows those who collect bottles to return them for refund without having to rummage through bins. A box with free sanitary products & deodorant.

Reform UK's #migrant worker surcharge is based on a persistent far-right myth: That there is a sufficient domestic workforce but it doesn't want to or can't find work bc of foreigners. That's false. We're ageing societies. Qualifications aside, we just don't have enough people to fill all vacancies.

Hahaha. We need so much more of this Private Eye style ridicule when it comes to Farage. No one should be taking him seriously any more.
Wildfire in Clacton
AS temperatures soared on Friday, Essex fire authorities reported things were so bad that a man's pants had caught fire.
The individual, identified as Nigel Farage, had claimed Essex police had told him to keep away from his by-election declaration.
"We've never seen such an enormous fire coming from a single pair of Union Jack Y-fronts," said a police spokesman. "We urge members of the public to avoid pants on fire by at least coming up with a half-decent excuse for their cowardice."

They knew.


For decades climate scientists have said that continuing to burn fossil fuels would lead to both more wildfires and that they would be increasingly severe. 

Yet politicians - many of whom are still in public office on large taxpayer salaries- dismissed, scorned and ignored these warnings. 

Every bit of new coverage of these fires should be framed as the direct result climate change and political failings. Those who profited by underplaying the danger should be challenged for their complicity in every interview. 

Especially those charlatans who, even now, still claim to be on the side of farmers and the poorest in our society - despite enabling a crisis that will hit those groups hardest.
