Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Rich, greedy people, happy to live in unimaginable wealth while others struggle to eat. Careless of the poor and the vulnerable. The royal grant rose 53% last month, from £86.3m to £132.1m. #downwiththecrown #antimonarchy #charlesthelast

Another week. Another ‘crackdown’ on immigration. Because Brexit exploded it. It created labour shortages and ended our shared EU arrangements. Then all the far right uglies went to town whipping up anti-immigrant sentiment for power. Until govts are honest about this, they will continue to fail.

This right here......

Imagine failing 5th grade geography... in Congress.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Oops.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Trump Absent-Mindedly Snacks On Constitution

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

If you ever wondered what malignant narcissism + megalomania + congenital lying + substance abuse + greed + cognitive decline + 4 hair transplants + orange makeup + heel lifts in an ill-fitting suit looks like, now you know.

Fixed it.

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Farage and Reform whip up people’s prejudices, then offer to get rid of what they hate.Their power feeds off ignorance and hatred. They make people angrier about the stuff they fear, then promise to fix it. Of course they won’t. But they know who to tell you to blame when they fail. (Letters, Times)

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise. Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes. Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

I think the way to turn this administration’s tanking polls around is to have this creep talk about his plans for our children as much as possible.

Trump: Russia Must Be Allowed To Keep Fighting As Part Of Any Ceasefire Deal

Tonight, a top ten list for you. The top ten most corrupt acts of the Trump Administration — and how they affect you: youtu.be/Wb_Jp9luj9w?...

The markets know the difference.

The American people deserve to hear sworn testimony from every member of this administration's Signal chats. Thanks to President Trump's latest nomination for UN Ambassador, the Senate will have a key member of those chats under oath in the very near future.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Let’s just remind ourselves about Farage’s big meal ticket idea again. And no, this isn’t about how the Tories did it, this is just Brexit reality. And Farage would make the deal *even worse*. Pariah status, unreliable, ruined UK howling about immigration and moaning that everything is broken.

The BBC is institutionally biased towards the right and the far right, and here's the proof: the results of an almost perfect before-and-after experiment. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
