"For Britain to withdraw from Europe would be to retire into "an old people's home for fading nations...I do not even think it would be a comfortable or agreeable old people's home. I do not much like the look of some of the prospective wardens".(Jenkins)

Nice to see Robert Jenrick on #bbclaurak publicising his vigilante work on fare cheats. Hope he's got a mirror.

Ordinary people "feel like mugs" for paying when others feel they can get away without doing so, says Robert Jenrick, who was found to have falsely claimed £122 in travel expenses, and used his own office to help a Conservative donor avoid paying £45m in tax www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

“Jenrick is not a vigilante. He’s not an action man. His defining quality is flaccidity. His reputation is that of a petty, mean, small man, who paints over kids’ murals. So, the stunt might have worked for someone else, but for Jenrick it simply cements that reputation as a petty, mean, small man.”

The UK government’s final chance to act is NOW. Laila Soueif is at death’s door after 242 days on hunger strike — demanding freedom for her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian activist unjustly imprisoned in Egypt for years. The clock has run out. Free Alaa. Save Laila.

The media is bending over backwards to humanise the man who mowed down 79 people at Liverpool’s parade. His company’s Twitter account follows Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and Andrew Tate. That tells you everything you need to know.

To sum up: for long months now, Hamas is trying to negotiate its surrender, and Israel is demanding an unconditional one.

Robert Jenrick's Honesty-Dodging That someone as dishonest and hypocritical as the Shadow Justice Secretary was not long ago shamed out of public life is a damning indictment of the state of politics and media in the UK www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

What people don’t seem to get is that the anti-science stance of the Trump regime isn’t an act for political gain. They’re not pretending, in order to dupe the gullible voters. This is real. This is them. They really think science itself is a bogus conspiracy. Yes, they’re idiots.

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

Good for Poland. One million Polish were living in UK in 2016. They gave so much to Britain & Brexit betrayed their contribution How Brexit (& EU membership) helped Poland become a European superpower. Thriving Warsaw lures its young migrants home as booming economy leaves Britain in the shade

Increasing the time from five years to ten years is grotesque. If someone is willing to go through five years of box-ticking and paperwork and worry, the only reason to up it to ten is to increase the chances that they'll make a tiny mistake or have a brief issue at work and you can kick them out

I’m in the middle of marking Masters level coursework, much of which comes from overseas students. The standard this year seems higher than ever - and it’s also ‘soft power’ when those students go back home with good stories and affection for the U.K. Plus: what harm *of any kind* do they do?
