Small thing but Gaza had more news salience for Brits than anything else last week. Obviously covered a lot in press/broadcast but surely reflects a very emotive story's dominance on social media? (Foreign news traditionally not as heavily read in ye olde legacy media) yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

This. The problem with social media is & always will be people, in sufficient numbers we are just not very nice (tho some platforms do better than others at moderating/nudging us into being slightly less horrible). If you are thinking 'but i use it lots & am not horrible" trust me your day will come

Very sorry to hear about this - fair to say we didn't agree on much politically but I worked alongside Patrick as a lobby reporter years ago (me at the Observer, him at the Express) & he was both a shrewd journalist & someone who understood the art of civil disagreement. I learned a lot from that.

Yes! My dad was in a Dr Who episode in the 70s made on a budget of about 50p where you can clearly see the spaceship he’s meant to be on is like the stairs/lift at the BBC studio with some gaffertape hastily stuck over the BBC signs. Go back to making the alien out of old yoghurt pots.

Such an interesting piece - and she's right, if the flipside of a 'tough on immigration' policy is being tough on fraudsters who exploit wouldbe migrants, then there should be HO/police resources behind it

This is great reporting... and honestly, every single time I try to work out how something confusing works in London (and probably therefore the UK) then to misquote Super Hans, "the secret ingredient is fraud".
