Fed up with the media making the by-election all about Burnham and Polanski. The new MP is Sagal Abdi-Wali, a well respected and well known local politician. Let's talk about her and her victory today eh.

Grimly fascinating that Green voters, overwhelmingly in favour of immigration, are also, at 51%, the most likely to want to reduce migrant numbers from Israel. Which does rather beg the question: if Israel is to be eliminated, but Israelis barred from the UK, where exactly are they to go?
Which countries to 2024 voters want to see fewer migrants from?

What Newsnight should have taken away was that it shouldn't adopt tabloid narratives unquestioningly and made the appropriate correction. What it did instead was to report the correction as if it were gossip and go "OOOOOH! THEY'RE VERY SENSITIVE!" What? To accuracy? You used to be, too, BBC.

Not true, the immigration policy was wrong then and it’s still wrong now. Yes AB announced safe routes but they were in the pipeline under Starmer. Do you think Starmer would have stayed silent about the thugs in Portsmouth’s/the attacks on RNLI, the only person pandering to far right is AB

The PIP changes are exactly the same as Starmer was introducing; safe routes for asylum seekers same as Starmer, but from what Mahmood nor says very limited in number. Starmer put mental health provision in schools, increased youth hubs, had a target of extra 850 MH staff over next 10yrs.
