Lord Dubs was just six years old when he escaped Czechoslovakia following the Nazi invasion. He was one of 10,000 refugee children whose lives were saved by being taken in by Britain from 1938-39. Watch his remarkable life story: www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/support-us/c...

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Photo of Burnham waving to the audience in front of HOPE AGAIN backdrop Burnham was not going to die wondering. He knew he might be delivering one of the longest suicide notes in history, but he did it anyway. Because he couldn't not do it. Better to go down remaining true to his principles than being slowly airbrushed out of history like the previous six prime ministers. Failures all. Andy was prepared to burn through all his political capital right there in Liverpool, right then. Not just for his own legacy but for a country he wanted to rebuild. It was the only way he could look himself in the mirror.
Honour his parents.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Just tax the compute. Datacentre? Cool. Fund your own power generation and water reservoirs, and then pay tax for every computational act your datacentre does. And we'll use the tax income to offset societal and job damage. Overnight, AI becomes something AI giants are desperate to restrict.

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

It’s a pathetic bit of lashing out from Johnson. But it reveals him. He knows he pissed his own mandate away. He’s just a tabloid troll now, talking shite while better people than him may get to make the kind of difference he never could. Hope that haunts him forever.

4/23 The distinction matters. A person does not stop being a person in distress because somebody believes they entered the sea illegally. Search and rescue is not an immigration hearing conducted offshore. The legal status of the person can be dealt with afterwards. First, you stop them dying.
