"Christian nationalism" in the UK is essentially a post-religious identity. Unlike the evangelical right in the US, it has no theological content, does not require belief in God & demands no moral or religious commitment. It reduces Christianity to a cultural "heritage" to be "defended" from Islam

The idea that Houthis are somehow remote-controlled by Iran to the extent that their ambitions can be switched off through a deal with Tehran is a serious analytical error that always misread how much the wars around Yemen and Saudi Arabia's Southern border have an Eigendynamik

There's been an increasing trend of reactionaries with imperial ambitions cynically using the language of decolonisation to support those ambitions and those of others. Israel, Argentina, Morocco, even the US when you look at how Claremont talks about Canada and Greenland. Hindu nationalists too

Again, so much of the grooming gangs stuff was a bunch of bits of the British state going "Yeah, but what do you really expect from those slags on the estates". Including social services seeing their main aim as "Just make sure they don't get pregnant".

We see similar arguments that George Floyd was somehow elevated into a hero or deified in his death. The resentment towards Black people being centered and the belief that attention is somehow a measure of worth combine for this ghoulish approach.

The evidence is clear: countries with lower NEET rates than the UK get there almost entirely through higher rates of post-18 education. In these countries, more young people stay in education for longer and often combine it with work.

The death of Jason Arday is devastating.

There are so many questions that need to be answered. The level of harassment he suffered and the racism he was subjected to, has been sickening. It must be investigated.

Right now, a young man has lost his life. All of my thoughts and love are with Jason’s family, friends and colleagues. 

Rest in peace, Jason.

The border regime contributes to this kind of situations. Before the closure of the border and the establishment of the requirement of Schengen visa in 1991, Moroccans used to enter Ceuta and the rest of Spain without risking their lives and physical integrity.

The government will take a £12 billion hit on the public finances if/when it belatedly reduces the current [unrealistically high] OBR projection of net migration averaging 235k for next 3 years to about 130-150k. (But it could double that cost if it wants to stay closer to zero net migration).
