No country has ever walked this path as a former member, already closely aligned and sharing the EU’s values. With the political will, Britain could be back at the table within a single parliament.

Long tribute from Kemi Badenoch in her conference speech to Jeffrey Archer, complete with round of applause. The world is a "less colourful" place without him, she says, which is one way to describe a serial fraudster, fantasist and liar who wrecked several lives in the process.

Inside the spooky and mysterious (and apparently yet to reopen) underground complex at Gilmerton Cove in southern Edinburgh. The mystery arises because no-one knows when this obviously man-made complex was excavated, or by whom, or what it was used for. More: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland
Gilmerton Cove. The image shows a flat-floored passageway leading from the lower left of the frame to its centre. The walls are made of worked and slightly curved stone which meets above the passageway. This continues out of sight into a dark entrance in the upper part of the frame.

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.
