Keir Starmer, who was once a human rights lawyer, and David Lammy, who was once an anti-racist, are planning to almost abolish trial by jury, the oldest and best safeguard against arbitrary power we have

Revised net migration projection based on yesterday’s data, the new ILR policy and an expected gradual decline in dependant numbers (Currently dependant applications are double main applicant applications for work visas but this won’t last).

Yes it is negative in 2026. Roughly -110,000 to -10,000.

Can't believe we've gone and done what even the Tories couldn't bring themselves to do, for no electoral benefit whatsoever.

Utterly ridiculous policy making done by utterly ridiculous people.

It's amazing how detailed #BBC reporting has become on asylum-seekers since Labour took office.
I don't remember such reporting of minutiae like taxi trips when the Tories were in office for 14 years.

Farage has openly campaigned on racism, nativism, and xenophobia, his entire political career. Yet, to the media, he can only be said to have been "dogged by allegations" because nobody can prove he spoke slurs. This is white supremacy defining the terms so as to endlessly obfuscate the issue.

Jeremy Corbyn tells Your Party conference in his opening speech:

"Over the last few months, I looked very hard in all the libraries I can find for a handbook on the establishment of a political party. There isn't one."

"Maybe we could write one, learning from over-reaching...We became stronger."

Corbyn in his conf speech: "I want Your Party to be just that — your party.

"One message that has come from members is that they want the democratic structures of the party to be in place as soon as possible. They don’t want the party to belong to MPs.

"I agree!" He says it will be handed over.

“Historic reports of racist behaviour – & Farage’s reaction – give us an insight into the leader of the UK’s main far-right party. Anyone who has paid attention to Farage’s political career will not be surprised by the nature of the childhood beliefs he espoused”

The effect of Brexit is now forecast to be twice as bad as originally thought, and still Starmer refuses to get Brexit undone.

PEOPLE ARE VERY, VERY ANGRY!

Catching a bit of @zarahsultana.bsky.social's pre-conference rally livestream. The mood seems hopeful, but furious over the tactics that have been used against her.

I wonder how Corbyn's rally is going?
