You may be happy with the populist right attacking immigrants now, but their agenda is tax cuts and rolling back the welfare state. That means the crosshairs are going to land soon on the “undeserving poor” and your skin colour won’t save you or the ones you love.

For the billionth time, "putting inspirational people" on British banknotes is a relatively modern phenomenon. Even the Queen didn't appear until 1960. Animals on money, however, are a much older idea. There was a wren on the farthing way back in 1937.

My publishers have sent me some graphics for Wayfarers and they’ve basically said, if I’m reading this right, that if I don’t share them on social media they’ll send the boys round. Modern publishing is brutal.
The cover for Wayfarers: The Incredible Story of Animal Migration, by Lev Parikian. It’s predominantly blue, with swirling patterns representing migratory paths, and migrating animals interspersed across the design –  terns, a whale, butterflies, dragonflies, penguins, bats, a wildebeest and an arctic fox. It’s superimposed on a graphic echoing the style of the cover, with the words “OUT 15 APRIL 2027” underneath it.

Nick Clegg is now worth an estimated £100m and has joined the board of a data centre companies with ambitions to become a $1trn hyperscaler. So propping up a Tory-led austerity coalition seems to have worked out quite well for the guy.

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.

I believe trying to define what Englishness is to be a mug’s game. Any attempt to introduce precision results in absurdity. But angry white men in Union Jack underpants do not have a special insight. If your definition is more inclusive it is not watering down any objective standard.
