whenever I see Badenoch fighting Farage for the pro-Trump vote I wonder if she realises this is a small minority of the UK population (polling from October)

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Like other economists I'm being asked to comment on Trump tariffs. We should do so - it's our job. But first we should make the point stated eloquently here by @alanbeattie.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c26b...

No constitution in the world is strong enough to cope with one party in a two-party system becoming an extremist personality cult, judges who disdain the law for partisan gain, and a populace ignorant and/or destructive enough to reelect someone with loudly advertised dictatorial aspirations

Very happy to be able to debunk the Telegraph's "1 in 12 Londoners is an illegal migrant" lie (repeated here by the hapless Emma Webb) on BBC Sunday Morning Live today (at 10.40am, about 10 minutes in). www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

When something is a success, people like to associate themselves with it. So it's noticeable how quiet the Brexiters are. inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Approx 95% of analysis of 400 jail sentences over the riots were for real world participation, with Rotherham (57), Southport (43) among the more serious. Bristol (34) is third, but only 7 in the Tamworth disorder. At least 22 people (5% of cases) jailed primarily for online incitement.

Today's ONS population projections assume a linear decline in net migration from 730K in year to June 2024 to 340K in year to June 2028. But in fact we know from visa data migration is almost certainly falling much faster than this. www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

Laura Kuenssberg: “What’s your evidence in this case that his crimes were anything to do with a lack of integration?” Kemi Badenoch: “That I believe is one of the elements. My evidence is my personal experience.” So no evidence, then. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/badeno...

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

Keir Starmer has been living with his brother’s illness during the challenge of the election and the first hard months of government. Great strength and dignity from him, in contrast to the poisonous trolling he’s subject to.
