UK politics has never been a level-playing field financially. The Conservatives have always outspent other parties, & smaller parties invariably struggle for cash. But this is a different order of magnitude. It's the difference between having a larger army & an atomic bomb. Parliament *must* act.

It takes great political skill to replace a Shadow Chancellor that had never cut through or could be picked out of a family line-up (Mel Stride), and replace them with someone more obscure (Andrew Griffith)..👏...#ToryParty #ShadowCabinet

A really miserable piece of writing, wholly based in electoral impressionism. No thought for principles or the rights of migrants, and including spurious calculations about lifetime fiscal costs and benefits that simply ignore the real costs of what would happen if these workers were absent.

The music industry is almost built to obstruct folk like Paul Heaton from having long careers that put them in a position where BBC2 can devote an entire evening to their music. And yet somehow, he has swerved every single trap whilst being a profoundly decent human at all times.

The media calls the Thetford mob ‘protestors’. That’s letting rioters off the hook
Language matters in reporting. From “legitimate concerns” to “angry, frustrated locals”, our press is downplaying racism and violence
