Why are we not doing this? Never seen a more "no brainer" policy. Even people who are the most strongly opposed to immigration tend not to object to top scientists coming here.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Happy St George's Day. A reminder that half of England is owned by less than 1% of the population. Some of these aristocratic landowners have inherited land since the Norman Conquest. England needs land reform and a strong Community Right to Buy! whoownsengland.org

Surely the question isn’t simply ‘What is a woman?’… it’s more ’Why has any ability to live and let live been lost if no one is being (disproportionately) threatened or harmed?’ Miscreants and predators don’t come in transgender form… they come in people form. My two penn’orth. 🤷‍♂️

I’m baffled by this, Heat pumps are not always relevant to every property. There’s actual science & engineering behind them. Even the grumpiest engineer I know says “yeah, they work” So why is this contentious?

If we’d been told Brexit would cost a divorce fee of £40bn, a further £100bn a year, kill small exporting businesses, increase immigration, lower food standards & deny people access to the latest cancer drugs, no one would have voted for it. It simply can not be defended and must be reversed.

I don’t believe this for a second. I think it far more likely the UK govt. is delaying/ recommending next year and so, ever the bully boy, Trump thought he’d just say it to force us into a corner. Whenever it is, let’s make it clear we despise him and we don’t tolerate fascists and bullies here 💪

Looks like this Trump tweet was pleading aimed at Ukraine to get the Ukrainians to accept a deal that he has worked out with Putin. The deal is a Putin dream. Ukraine must legally hand over Crimea, gets no occupied territory back and is barred from NATO.

As the Mayor to a city of more than one million Catholics, I want to express my sadness, and the sadness of all Londoners, at the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis. He was a man of courage and humility who demonstrated how cooperation between faiths was a force for good.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.
