I CAN’T NOT POST THIS NOW

Good piece in today’s #Observer: “Labour may have cut migration too far” & “it could cost us billions”. Migration isn’t the UK’s problem. It’s the (Brexit-ravaged) economy, stupid, & cutting migration will cause tax rises. Shame on Starmer for being so cravenly spooked by Reform.

Three years ago we made an early News Agents on the student loan scandal and the sky high marginal tax rates it creates. Three years on, govts since have made it all worse still. We’ve made a special follow up, centred on our listeners own experiences. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Rebrand as BBC Views, then you can drop the act. “Here’s what people are saying. The facts? Sorry, you’ll need a news service for that, we just do gossip.”

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing. they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors. their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen. their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...

If you're cheering Trump on then you have no right to call yourself a patriot. You absolute moron.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.
