Krakus in exile
Worth mentioning too that escapist fantasy was one of the most popular literary genre in the Middle Ages; Sir Orfeo, SGGK, all the King Arthur stuff filtered through the troubadours.

Written and observed from a third person perspective, the UK immigration debate really does feel mad. And the Labour Party role in enabling Katie Lam and Nigel Farageās Idi Amin tribute policies through rhetorical radicalisation - shameful

Anyway there's a real problem with basically any discussion about defence policy and it is that quite frankly we have still not gotten everyone on the same board, which is that Europe's ass is burning and that a fascist regime on our eastern border has territorial designs on its members.

Obviously trusting an estate agent to do *anything* is a serious lapse of judgement. But on the whole, this makes Badenoch calling for Reeves to resign look even sillier.

If "raising the basic rate of income tax to pay for well funded public services" is "basically evil" then I don't know what your conception of being left-wing actually is.

I know some people enjoy pretending economics isnt real but in the real world a wealth tax simply does not raise as much money as an increase in the base rate of income tax. It's just maths.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Platoās allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillardās theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Platoās theory but is not the same

It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour, whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.

NEW - Starmer on Katy Lam: "I can't tell you how much I disagree with her. "People who are lawfully in this country, who have been working in our communities, our neighbours... to reach in and remove them from our country - for 'cultural reasons'. That is how far the Conservative party has sunk."

Stephen Bush on the extraordinary draft legislation which Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, Matt Vickers, Katie Lam and backbench colleagues have proposed in parliament It is a proposal that would seek to deport around 5% of the resident population, including over a quarter of a million with ILR

Ultimately the delay, while infuriating, will be forgotten soon enough. Sticking to this stand now it has been made, and repeating it over and over until the Conservatives/Reform back down, or these extreme policies rejected by an overwhelming majority are hung around their necks, is what matters

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

The draft legislation is crackers. It would fail immediately if we stayed in the ECHR but it disappears the human rights act. if passed after that it would involve mandatory loss of ILR for up to 400,000 people + refusal of 2-3 million others, though without no credible means to identify or remove

The Conservative Party cannot be considered a responsible party of government again until and unless Ms Lam is forced to drop her Idi Amin migration proposal and apologise to those it threatens, or has the whip removed. It is as simple as that.
