This would require unbiased, intelligent journalism. Obviously, the Daily Mail purchase makes sense.
Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

There have been 36,000 people "illegally" arrive in this country this year. If you sent every one of them overseas tomorrow your life would not change one jot. You would still be overworked and underpaid and public services would still be shit. Stop falling for the fucking smokescreen.

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Was in Newcastle to watch Newcastle and Fulham. The players took a knee before the match (I believe that this was the case across English football). Sadness when I could hear a number of boos. Happiness when a larger number of fans clapped. Was this pattern in evidence at other grounds? #BLM

Will you apologise, @emilythornberry.bsky.social ?
Pathetic. Emily Thornberry says Owen Jones is a misogynist for asking her about Gaza because he doesn't ask men about it.
Obviously didn't see this clip.

Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.
