It's such a bizarre framing. Labour MPs think taking 450k kids out of poverty is putting the country first! That's why they wanted it to happen! It's not because they personally benefit.

Weâve made this investigation free to read because so many people in Sheffield are affected by this story. Our journalists have been knocking on doors for weeks and weâve had to employ lawyers because of the legal threats made against us. We can only do this kind of journalism with your support.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

If you're going to attack immigration levels in 2022-3, you need to say something about provision for Ukraine & Hong Kong (which Labour backed). Blaming a "one-nation experiment in open borders" is not levelling with voters or restoring trust. It's telling the kind of lie on which populism thrives

Starmer's remarks were deplorable, not because they echoed Powell (they didn't) but because they endorsed the core claims of *modern* populism: - that a "squalid" establishment conspired against the people; and - that immigration is to blame for Britain's poor economy, housing & public services.

The Democrats have many faults, but they didn't nominate a corrupt autocrat for the presidency, or sit idly by while he trashed the Constitution & tried to subvert an election. Conservatives used to believe in responsibility. It's time to stop blaming the left for the moral failings of the right.
