Mahmoud is vile. Just vile.

Dominant European and North American political narrative is protection - of agricultural subsidies, steel or manufacturing jobs generally, foreign tech companies or foreigners generally. That's not a recipe for growth or reduced costs of living.

“We asked a hundred people to name a government economic priority. You said: cutting spending on disabled kids travelling to school.”

The first thing Yaxley-Lennon did on leaving court was to thank Elon Musk for funding his legal costs. That's Elon Musk who has repeatedly called for civil war in the UK. As of typing this - all of the major politicians and platforms maintain a presence on X and it is time for them all to leave.

Musk is vile

A pilot friend always says to me: "Yes, we are very well paid. And, if everything goes as it should, we do hardly any work. But then there there is that once-a-decade trip, when we earn a whole career's worth of salaries in ten minutes."

The very definition of a private army.

Govt reduces London’s affordable housing quotas. Developers to get subsidies if they include 20% affordable housing instead of current 35% target. Bigger profits for developers. Yielding to developers won't solve homelessness and poverty crisis. Let councils build affordable homes.

The Conservative immigration proposals cannot be allowed to stand without a profound and widespread statement of moral condemnation inews.co.uk/opinion/tori...

A policy this expansive would certainly mean mass stripping of permanent residence status from people with ILR (including pensioners and parents of British children) on a scale far beyond anything any democracy has ever done before. There is no public support for such an extreme policy.

The upfront cost for top scientists coming to work in the UK is more than 20 times higher than the average for other leading research nations, excluding the United States, according to data compiled by Fragomen for the Royal Society. @mikepeeljourno.bsky.social @financialtimes.com

If right wing politicians say to one audience “mass deportation based on income/contribution” then claim to another more moderate audience “no I only want to deport criminals”, and journalists (or the Labour government) don’t call them on it, no wonder voters don’t know what’s being proposed.

Lam misrepresented her past statements in order to make her policy look less serious - “it’s only about criminals”. Exactly what Tory thinktanker Gavin Rice did when I criticised this policy on Twitter. She isn’t called on it. This is how we can end up with mass deportation by accident.

So Peston failed to ask "No British government has ever revoked permanent status retrospectively. has it" "Has ANY government done this since Idi Amin?" "So you want to deport most nurses who aren't citizens, simply because they don't earn enough money. Do you think that is fair play?"

Exactly. Maccabi fans are banned because they are hooligans, not because they’re Jewish.

This Labour govt has already fucked its advantage over its predecessors on improved EU relations. The new reset will be a failure. And the govt will blame Europe because it’s shite.

Elon Musk is paying Tommy Robinson's legal bills. The British media and political establishment is still on X and maybe this is the wake up call they need. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

So the immediate effect of abolishing stamp duty is that house prices rise, with a disproportionate benefit for people in £10m+ homes. Abolition would literally be handing them £1m+

Who benefits from the abolition of stamp duty land tax? The first answer: people buying very expensive homes. Average saving for someone buying a £10m+ home is £1.7m. Average saving for someone buying a £250k-£500k home is £5k.

Labour's clearly inadequate plan for government was evident within weeks. So, wahey, Kemi Badenoch does even less and it is a great speech? Come on folks, this isn't serious politics.

Douglas Barrowman and Michelle Mone's company, PPE Medpro, has just been ordered to refund the Government £122m from a PPE contract. There are two very odd things about PPE Medpro that may affect the odds of the Government ever getting that £122m... Thread:

This is Robbie Williams waxing lyrical about how *he( is treated in Israel - and how it 'annoys' him to be used as part of a 'narrative'. It echoes what comics are now saying about being part of the Riyadh Comedy Festival. So disingenuous. It's not about how *you* are treated - it's how others are.

Yes. That was always there. But ownership of British press was big factor & its outsize impact on the BBC. Other outlets did some great work but the lawsuit stopped all reporting dead. And it’s why the correct response to a SLAPP is a) protect your journalist & b) keep going.
