Thanks Greg!
The reality is, a massive drop in migration such as this is a very BAD thing!
Today's 70% fall in net migration to 205,000 was not one of the six stories in BBC ten o'clock news.

Ta massive assymetry in whether rises in immigration and falls in immigration are considered newsworthy by broadcasters

Down by 140k isn't thought to be.

Up by 140k undoubtedly would be.

When your past finally catches up, what do you do? What do you do?

When the record shows you voted against every measure meant to help working people—what do you do? What do you do?

When stories about your ties to Russia won’t disappear, what do you do? What do you do?🤨👇

Little Tommeh's mate out impersonating police officers now.
With their criminal records absolutely none of these little Walters would get in the police. They certainly shouldn't be hanging around schools "protecting" people.

They won't allow a normal government. They want permanent shock therapy.
The attacks on Labour from BBC News are now so relentless, day after day, minute after minute, putting headline negativity on absolutely anything they say, or do.

Are they now the official opposition?

'How can anyone believe what your saying?' says Tory-blind Fiona. Incredible. The news cycle should be: Reform's proven Russian links, the ex-PM is being investigated for multiple frauds & killed 250,000 people, the budget is still responding to Truss' clusterfuck #bbcqt

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...

As political scandals go, a grubby backroom deal to, errrr, lift 450,000 children out of poverty is at least a novel one.
Headline on The World at One just now:

"Sir Keir Starmer has denied putting the Labour Party before the country by ending the two-child benefit cap".

Can we please go back to reporting the actual news, not someone's partisan take on it?

This is disgusting.

Ronald Reagan refused to acknowledge the AIDS crisis. Even refused to help his "friend from the Hollywood days" Rock Hudson.

George W. Bush waited 7 years to recognize World AIDS Day.

And now we are back to a POS GOP POTUS who will ignore it.
