This is a dreadful argument from Burnham. Empirically false - almost 6m people were granted settled status; about 4m are currently resident. More importantly panders to racism/xenophobia, and directly contradicts argument made in his speech about migrant contributions.

Stand by what I said in July on #PoliticsLive on the triple lock. It's affordable, justifiable, and there are much better targets for saving money (even on pensions) than modifying the triple lock

The result is an inherent power imbalance that many landlords have exploited. This helps to explain why the average mortgaged landlord enjoys profit margins more than 5x the average UK business. (Profit margins for landlords without a mortgage – the majority – are bigger still!)

To quote Nye Bevan, "Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community." A general wealth tax is the way to share the cost of elder care across the community.

The fundamental structural problem with the British economy is that, for decades now, "working for a living" is a mug's game compared to living off asset inflation and rents, and even as the wheels come off that system nobody has any inclination to change it.

Condemnation is pure hot air if in the next breath you’re telling everyone you’re doing your best to give the fascists what they want, just without the masks
In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

I've spent a few weeks asking people if Britain is prepared for war, among other doom scenarios. The short answer is no and the condensed reason for why that happened is that we spent the last forty years stripping off and selling the most resilient systems in the country for parts.

Let's nail what's going on here: frail vicars who oppose the incineration of babies with British munitions components are being manhandled & hauled off in front of the press for peacefully *sitting down*. Violent tooled up racists are *filming themselves doing crimes* & are handled with kid gloves
A Hampshire Constabulary statement said: "As a result, six people were arrested for offences including careless driving, assaulting an emergency worker and aggravated trespass. They remain in custody at this time and our enquiries into these incidents continue."The police statement did not make any reference to Mr Thomas, but added: "We are also aware of a video circulating online relating to damage being caused to a boat in the English Channel on the afternoon of September 22, and we are conducting enquiries into the matter."
