Mahmood's proposals for changes to indefinite leave to remain are racist, and designed to appeal to racists. They will actively damage the country's economy over the long term. Absolutely bonkers. It's another proposal that's indefensible - so there'll be a u-turn in 3 to 6 months.

Approximately half of US adults (who could be bothered) voted for this. Half.

He started a war, didn’t know how to win it, was immediately over his head, became quickly overpowered by an enemy he vastly underestimated, and now is trying to sue for peace and then convince you that this was a victory. Dying empires produce leaders like this

I think I know the answer - but are their voters really this stupid?

I don't use Twitter/X anymore, but do use Threads - basically to ensure I pick up on what the right thinks. And lordy - the MAGA right in the US are truly gaga. They've seen the same footage we all have, but are convinced the ICE agent shot the person 3 times in self defense. The US is fucked.

Completely and obviously correct. The lack of political nouse in no. 10 while no longer surprise, is still absolutely baffling.

This is pure cowardice. The tool is,allowing activities which are against the law in the UK (pornographic fakesarealready illegal). Their moderation refuses to take them down when people complain. This isal already covered under existing rules. They should be putting public pressure on Ofcom.

Sam Freedman, when commenting on the disability benefits fiasco, said that what should be happening in no. 10 *as a minimum* is asking "can one of our ministers defend this policy to reasonable people in an interview". As with the changes to disability benefits, the answer is "no they can't".

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence. Every single human in the world is the product of migration. It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human. That’s never going to change. Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

This is bonkers. The people making this journey have already paid criminals and already risked their lives. Whether they were forced to leave their homes because of persecution, or chose to leave for economic reason, their choices now aren't going to made on a rational weighing of pros and cons.

I suspect the government - as well as the police, CPS and courts system - is secretly quite happy to have lost the appeal against the decision to allow the judicial review of the proscription of Palestine Action - hopefully the judicial review will strike it down, and common sense can be restored.

The public are almost unbelievably ignorant about most aspects of migration policy, pt 45754. Is there any greater subject that illustrates the complete abject failure of our mass audience media than migration?

So if your paying for printers, ink, paper, and physical storage space for paperwork you've printed off, all to protect against you getting hacked and your cloud storage being accessed - why bother paying for cloud storage? OCR scanners are now cheap and really good!

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery. She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting” She had to return to the hospital. These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill. They must be held accountable.

"During the first 10 years of the spending cuts that began in 2010, councils’ funding for youth services in England and Wales suffered a real-terms cut of 70%. By 2023, about 1,200 publicly run youth centres had closed, and more than 4,500 youth workers had lost their jobs." #r4today

A ban on borrowing to fund government expenditure surely means huge cuts to all public services on a scale never seen before. The NHS could not survive this. Neither could the Triple Lock.

Let's hope the racists, religious loons and fascists in both Hamas and the Israeli government will stop trying to kill everyone on the other side. Sadly, I don't think it will last. I hope beyond hope that I'm wrong.

Reservoirs are now fuller in Spain than they are in South West England. And South West England is probably in a better position that much of the rest of the country. Across England, there is no meaningful rainfall in sight.
