'This isn't an opinion. This is counting.'
- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn
- Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn
What gets more attention?
James O’Brien says 'we have become a ludicrous country'.

She’s just asking questions.
‘Is Nigel Farage a Russian asset?’
‘Are you seriously asking me that?’

The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

Russia came with tanks and lies,
calling murder "liberation".
Now they sit at tables
demanding we call their weariness "compromise."
You don't get rewarded
for stopping the fire you started.
You don't get land
for the blood you spilled.
Peace is as simple as going home.

Former nursing home executive and convicted fraudster Joseph Schwartz was pardoned by Trump earlier this month.
Schwartz secured the pardon after paying two other convicted fraudsters nearly $1M to lobby Trump on his behalf.

We now have leaders of allied nations unable to trust a word the US tells them.
We are witnessing one of the greatest diplomatic and foreign relations blunders of our lifetimes.

No federal badge authorizes the unlawful arrest of or use of excessive force on American citizens.
When ICE crosses that line, they’re committing crimes under state law. Local law enforcement has a duty to intervene and protect the public, not rogue agents.
