I presume we'll be encouraging Spain to deport all the Brits who don't speak Spanish.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

Starmer's Britain. Not even subtle.

I like to think of myself as unshockable when it comes to Labour politicians and lying about things. But if you'd told me in 2020 that Keir Starmer would lead the UK to being ranked behind everywhere else in western Europe on LGBT rights, I wouldn't have believed you.

Of all the accusations against the Madleen, the strangest has to be that it is "performative" and "symbolic". Yes, I doubt Greta Thunberg is claiming to be the world's most competent aid worker. See also: Gandhi was not the world's best hiker or salt refiner. Symbolism matters.

Reminder: when the government claims to be investing in "affordable housing," its definition of "affordable" is 80% of market rent. That's like saying you're offering someone a cheap meal, and then giving them a 20% discount voucher for the Ritz.

Netanyahu is committing fresh war crimes in Iran in order to boost his domestic position. He is also asking a question: will liberal western governments intervene to stop him? They have answered: not only will they not intervene, they won't even say clearly what is happening.
